NFA waiting advice

[Beowulf]

Since it is Friday and I'm kind of bored at work, anyone have any good NFA stamp waiting advice?

I called the ATF today and both my MAC-10 and my suppressor went Pending as of January 24th (a full 20 days after they should have received my paperwork, but what can you do). She said the wait times are a full six months. Whether that's still accurate or not, I don't know.

So, I have at least a good 3 months more to wait. How can I fill my time without going crazy?

My M11/9 went pending Jan 28. We should be getting ours abbout the same time. You can't make the wait on the first one easier, but if you send out a new form for something new every couple months, it will make thos wait times feel shorter, as you will have a steady flow of nfa items getting approved. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait to drag them out like that, so I sen t mh others in bulk.

That sounds like something my wife would say... if I were married.

Come over and clean my guns.

Buy more Tittle 2 firearms, that way you will always be getting one after the first half year.

Yep, just like I said. Then by the time you've played around with the new one enough, you'll have another new one coming in. Just dont get impatient like me and buy them all at the same time, and send all the forms in together, of course that will make for one very fun day when get them all back.

Get a girlfriend. She'll at least fill your time until your stamps come back then dump her and and enjoy what really matters.








Just don't marry her or you won't be able to afford anymore stamps....or guns.....or ammo....or food....or tools....or clothes....or cars....or gas....or girlfriends....

Marry? Hell, I have a hard time affording them when she's just the girlfriend

No kidding, I just kept watching and waiting for something to change, but it never did. Pretty catchy tune.

Scutter? Where do people find stuff like this, and what causes a person to click it?

Hah, Dead Duck. You had me laughing at my desk at work.

Anyway, I have thought about getting some additional NFA items. It's just the cost that keeps me from doing it. I was at Linden a few weeks back and ran into a guy with an SBR PS90 with a suppressor. I'd love to put something like that together, but I don't have $3k laying around.

I guess what I could do is pick up a decent M4 style AR lower (a few hundred), get it engraved, and submit a Form 1 to make it an SBR. Then while waiting for that to go through, save up for a decent short barreled upper and a can for it. Kind of getting a suppressed SBR on an installment plan.

That's exactly how I got into NFA from motorcycles. In fact, that's probably the real problem. Waiting for some decent riding weather that lasts more than a day is making me stir crazy. I need to get the bike out and go riding.

I just got one back today, right at 5 months from when I sold it.

Thats suprising, I havent heard of anyone getting them sooner than 6 months. By looks of it, most people are right around 180 days from forms mailed. Congrats to who ever the buyer is.

Maybe they are hitting their stride or working through a pre-holiday rush of backlog and are catching up?

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

Been pending since Feb 7. I think they are accomplishing what they want; I'm not in a hurry to get another NFA item after this
