Confused about the wait time on stamps.

[Lurch]

Just called in on the two stamps I have out right now. The excepted return date is way the hell out there. Anyone else call recently and get the same info?

SBR pending 2-13 told should be ready in November.

Suppressor Pending May 21 told should be ready in February.

Also on the suppressor it took 2 months from time check cash till pending.

I submitted three in February, I sure hope this wait time isn't true but nothing surprises me anymore with the gov.

And you concern is, You new to the NFA scene,? 6-8 months IS the norm. So A Feb pending to potential Nov approval IS 6 months. You should browse islandermyk's WAIT TIME threads.

The last time I looked at a calendar that is 9 months. Yes I'm new to the NFA scene but everything I see is 6 months after pending not 9.

What strength do you need? Yes I know the license is more than $400 but I have talked to a couple of Class 3 dealers and they said it took about 3 months. Plus being able to purchase post 86 samples would pay for itself in the savings.

You cannot purchase Post sample guns w/out LE letter head, be attached to a LE or mil dept. You can however mfg for your personal use.

Read everything NFA related before spending more money, needlessly, and complaining after the fact.

The Gun Owners Protection Act of 1986 (GOPA 86): A somewhat vague statement was added to this bill that has been interpreted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) and some Federal Courts to mean no machine guns registered after enactment (May 19, 1986) can be built and sold to private individuals. BATFE further concluded that Special Occupational Tax (SOT) payers cannot receive "post-May" guns without first presenting a letter from a qualifying government agency that has requested to see the firearm. These rulings do not apply to other types of National Firearms Act (NFA) firearms. Transfers to government agencies having law enforcement or military functions are allowed. SOT payers who are also licensed as manufacturers are allowed to produce machine guns from scratch, from kits, or by means of conversion. They cannot transfer them to private individuals. They can be transferred to other SOT payers or government agencies only as described above. Post-May 19th guns cannot be retained by a SOT payer who fails to renew his SOT annually.

Jim, I may be the only one... But I do enjoy hearing you talk.
