Latest Class III: Guesses on Wait Time

[Guest semiautots]

Yes, do tell. There were apparently several of us who went pending in October....

 

Picked it up today.  It was sent to ATF on September 12 and received back on March 12.  So it was 6 months door to door.

Well if that stays true I should have pickup in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the update...

Is there a good class III dealer in the Johnson City, Greeneville, Knoxville, Maryville, Sevierville areas that can help me learn more about purchasing a class III item?

Predator Custom Shop can handle your transfers. They are great people and will do you right.

 

The process is pretty straight forward.

By straight forward he means inconvenient, time-consuming, mind-numbing...yet worth it all when you finally get your paperwork back. :) The waiting is what drives your crazy. I have heard that Pred. Customs is very helpful with all the paperwork though.

Other than fingerprints and CLEO signature, which aren't really that hard here in Shelby County, the process is no more inconvenient, time consuming or mind numbing.

Call 304-616-4500 and give them your serial number. I called the other day and the guy actually told me it looked like it should be done in about 30-45 days. I sent in my paperwork Oct. 31rst.

I was wondering about this. Since mine is for a suppressor won't my paperwork just go to the dealer?

[Capbyrd]

Yes.  Paperwork is sent to the transferor!
