NFA wait times and BS thread

I need a better job....

YHM Turbo T2 arrived at LGS on Monday, got certified yesterday. The wait has begun.
Still trying to decide the mounting system. YHM Phantom flash hider on all except the bolt action which will get the included brake, or go with Dead Air Xeno adapter with "brakes" on all 5.
The T2 will eventually be dedicated to the SBR when I get more cans, but it will be put on others until then.

 

Looking to purchase my first can next year. Been looking at a Sandman S for my 11.5. Wait times really seem like they are right about 12 months huh?

 

Purchase now and don't wait is the advice I didn't take last year that I wish I did.

 

This. The sooner you get in line the sooner you’ll get your can. They’re still processing eForms from March. At this point you’re easily looking at a wait of at least a year.

I really wanna get another can but we’re trying to buy a house right now so holding off till we move and have our new address. I don’t wanna deal with an address change with a can pending.

 

That upfront cost is what is holding me back.

 

The upfront cost is going to be the same upfront cost next year also. If you're going to spend it eventually, might as well do it sooner than later. (again advice I wish I would have taken a year ago)
What I've learned over the years is things don't usually get cheaper as time goes on. So it's likely, by waiting, your upfront cost will be higher next year. Just the .02 from a guy who had the same thought process you did and now regrets no acting sooner. I just pulled the trigger on Tuesday. If I would have listened to everyone last year, I'd have my can in hand by now.

 

Well, I decided to hate myself later. Decided that each gun will get a dedicated can. So, I just ordered one YHM Phantom 5.56 flash hider if a fh or brake works best on the sbr (the other will get put on the Ruger American Ranch until I get a can for it). Went ahead and got an alignment rod also. Total cost after the gift card for ordering the T2 was $50, so not too bad.
Need to make a trip to a better GS to buy 4 cans in one hit, then find a IA integral suppressor for the CZ Scorpion Evo 3.

 

252 days, 3 hours, 5 minutes, and 17 seconds...

 

You can send in a 5320.20 when you get the stamp. You don't have to, especially if it's pending (no address to amend anyway) and/or you're just moving in state. The form 4 goes to your dealer, doesnt matter what your address ends up being. Notarize an addendum to your trust if you have one.

SBR and DD different story.

Waiting will only lead to dissapointment, because you never know what will happen in the future. Take form 1 cans, for example.....

 

Now is a good time to do it. If they do the whole pistol brace amnesty thing and it floods the system with form 1s it could slow everything else down even more than currently

 

^^ X2 ^^

 

Good points. I didn't realize address change while pending doesn't matter. I was afraid a discrepancy in addresses might cause issues with the Background check. I might be taking a trip to my LGS next week when I find out what my bonus looks like to put that wolfman in jail.

My bank account already hurts after all the Oregon 114 panic purchases I've had to make in the last month but that 357 Henry Big Boy X and MP5 are just begging for a can. 114 being the other holdup, from what I've read it doesn't look like Oregon's new dumb firearm purchase permit system will not apply to suppressors but I want to confirm before I put a can in Jail. Will just ask my FFL cause they’ll know first once they figure it out.

 

Agreed, could be years for a stamp…

 

My bank acct is going to be quite unhappy with me on the first, especially since I am leaving my job at the end of Feb.
I am going to go ahead and buy a YHM R9, and a R2 (if I can find one).

 

My R9 took 13 months to clear. Mailed on Nov 2, 2021, Stamp received on Dec 3, 2022.

 

Submitted 04/28/22 and finally approved today.

 

Any idea what the current "pending research" time is for 80% form 1s?

 

That doesn't say anything about pending research delays, but i guess if the 30 day average encompases that....

I've had pending research delays from 48 hours up to 2 months.
