Is the Griffin Armament Optimus available? It says backorder but I really don't want to pull the trigger if I'm gonna be waiting months before you guys even have it.

We have them on order just waiting on the ATF to approve forms. We have sold every one that we had before they were in stock so if you want one you need to backorder to get assigned a serial number. It is the most popular silencer of 2016 so far.

|
Yeah, it seems that all the cans that I want are the popular ones that are not in stock.

I would say between 2-4 weeks we are just waiting on the ATF to approve forms. Griffin is keeping up just waiting on the ATF.

View Quote I have made the purchase and I assume that once I get a serial number assigned to me that I will add that to my existing NFA trust and then send it to you? |
|
No you don't add the silencer to the trust until the form 4 is approved. You can send the trust to us at [email protected] and we will add it to your order.

Technical question regarding the Optimus: I have a Direct impingement 5.56 AR15 with a 10.5" barrel. The documentation on Griffin's website makes it sound as though I will need additional items in order to attach it to this AR configuration. It looks like I will need a 3 lug adapter or a blast shield. Is that correct?
|
|
You would just need the 1//2x28 brake to attach it to your AR. There are lots of options but that is the easiest.

Any idea when the next batch of these will be available? I have one back ordered at the moment.
|
|
Me too, ordered on 1/8 hopefully I didn't get lost in the chaos.
|
|
|
Nice, so I should be getting and email soon with the serial number? This is my first suppressor, so I don't really know what to expect.

The system will notify you by email of all the steps in the process. The Optimus was my first suppressor too. I'm about 6 weeks in so far. |

Just backordered mine this week. So now the wait before the wait begins.
|
|
Just got the email today that my back order was fille and form 3 was sent in.
|
|
Just got my serial # today, and also an email with a copy of the form 4.
|
|
Wondering if silencer shop could post another update on what order dates are getting assigned serial numbers right now?
|
|
|
Just checked again and you're right - still no backorder option....Wonder if that means they're over backordered? Or perhaps they only backorder through X number shipments or something...

We allow back order on silencers that have forms on them and we expect in a reasonable time period, roughly 2-4 weeks or less. When it is on back order it means we are just waiting on the ATF to approve forms. So, the wait list would be for those that didn't get in on the number of pending F3s, which are all allocated to the backorders. |

Once we have another batch of form 3's in the system and have a rough estimate of the arrival then we will open up the back order.
|
|
Any chance silencer shop is getting close to getting the serials assigned for orders placed on 2/9?
|
|
will we be able to backorder when the next batch arrives?
ETA? Thanks, |
|
I suspect that the backorder will open soon since the last batch received this week almost took care of all the backorders. Make sure that you join the waitlist to get notified when they come in.
|
|
Thanks - I have just hoping not to miss the next batch or maybe I will have to buy an Alpha instead
|
|
You won't miss the next batch. But the Alpha is pretty sweet!
|
|
Hopping you open up back orders soon. Rumor has it that those of us from the hawkeye state will be able to make orders near the end of next week.
|
|
In the next few weeks. The batch that is coming in a week or so is already completely back ordered.

No that batch has not come in yet. We are getting shipments of Griffin next week so it could be on there but no promises. The way it is looking back orders will be filled and there will be some left over, but that could change if we open up back orders again. |
