Re: ATF How long is the wait?

Check cashed Jan 16th. Stamp came on Sept. 6th. So, basically 8 months although I was told by the woman at the ATF it would take 9 months.

Re: Maximum 10/22 barrel length that keeps bulk pack ammo su

I can tell you that my 10/22 barrel is cut back to 16-1/2" and with the sparrow attached it's still cracking with the Fed. bulk, W-W bulk, CCI Blazer bulk & all the rest of the HV ammo. However it's simply beautiful with the Standard Velocity stuff. Going to subsonic ammo doesn't make enoug...

Re: Pending as Feb 11th***UPDATE***

Silencerco Sparrow. It's nice, no doubt about it. I can't make a comparison as this is my first can and probably my last. Works really well on my two 4" barreled pistols- Buckmark with cutdown barrel & S&W M&P 22. The M&P is actually a bit quieter than the Buckmark. You can use ...

Re: Pending as Feb 11th***UPDATE***

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Approved Aug. 28th., so from what I've been reading I should be getting the paperwork back late next week! I've got a lot of ammo waiting to put thru the Sparrow. It'll be approx. eight months from start to finish.

Re: Pending as Feb 11th***UPDATE***

I have a question on check cashing - how long is NFA taking on cashing checks during this current period? My dealer mailed in a Form 4 transfer back in early July via certified mail. He received the proof of delivery in mid-July. However, my bank is saying that the check has still not been cashed (...

Re: Pending as Feb 11th

Ticked me off that it went from August to Oct. in a matter of a few weeks. It doesn't make sense that 90 days would be tacked on when I was only a few weeks away from approval. Shows you why this country is in the mess it's in...................

Re: Pending as Feb 11th

I called last week to check status. I should've had it in my hands according to what the woman said when I called back in June. Now the woman said it would be another 90 days due to backlog. Makes no sense to me. She said wait time is now 9 months.

Now I gotta go get another set made. Sheriff's Office made the first set. The ATF is driving me nuts! The set I sent i...

I went pending on Feb. 12th. I sent the paperwork in on Jan. 14th. They cashed the check on Jan. 16th. I never called till this morning. The woman told me it should be approved in Aug., which pissed me off because I was figuring July. What a bunch of bureaucratic bullshit you have to wade thru to be...

Re: Ammo for 22lr is sicking!

That's a bit of a stretch IMO. Money/profit is the name of the game with the distributors. They're interested in moving the product out the door. They might give a bit more preference to the higher sales companies, but I don't see a rep. passing over a shop, especially if the rep. is on commission. ...

Re: Ammo for 22lr is sicking!

I have a question for the dealers who claim that they may go out of business due to having nothing to sell. Why? If the manufacturers of guns and ammo are making it as fast as they can, and I have no reason to doubt that they are, why are the dealers not getting as much product as they ever did? If...

You can buy Viton o-rings (these are Black in color which makes no difference) on ebay in bulk (50 in a pack) in both 13 & 18 sizes & a durometer hardness of 75. I bought a bag of each for $15 & change for both with free shipping. That should last you a lifetime. When you finally get you...

As long as the washers slide over the threads you can certainly use more than one to take up the desired space.

Re: Ammo for 22lr is sicking!

Like I said, I've always had a stash. Only place I screwed up was not buying some CCI SV for my rifle/Sparrow, when I finally get it. By then maybe the prices will come down and I can pick some up. If not, I'll do without and put up with a bit more noise when I do shoot the rifle. Otherwise, I have ...
