Form 3 question

[1995nscajeep]

I am new too NFA items, and being a college student having limited time and funds.
So to the story I purchased a trust and a Specwar 762 for my 21st birthday which was the first week in September at a local class 3 shop in my college town. They said 1-3 months for it to come in and to start the form 4 process which sounded reasonable based on what I read online. Where my concern is that I called last week to check on the status and they said they had not heard anything about my form 3 but they received one that the order was placed a week after mine. My question is this common is it just the ATF taking their sweet time or is it potentially the store or their disturbutors fault for potentially losing track of the item/order?

Since right after 41F went into effect in July, Form 3s are generally taking 30 days.

It's been over 2 months at this point, that is why I am starting to get irratated/concerned.

My guess is that you're waiting on a Form 3 from the mfg to the distributor and then one from the distributor to your dealer.

Congratulations on joining the club. The only advice I can give is to have patience. I recently purchased 2 cans about a month apart and had the second one approved 2 months before the first one. There are average times, then your outliers, especially with the rush earlier this year.

So you are a poor college student with no money or assets, but you spent money on a trust to protect those assets. Fell for the McTruster scam hook line and sinker.

I'm a college student who bought a trust. The wildcat trust is only $49 and worth every penny to have multiple responsible parties able to possess my silencers.

It doesn't seem abnormal at all... the order sent isn't necessarily the order received back.
