Stamp arrived at dealer today (17JAN2017)

Pretty stoked.  First can, and I can't stop dry-firing, thinking about going to range tomorrow.

Still waiting on a Spectre II bought, mailed, and checks cashed at the same time.

Called today and they said it was "with Examiner."

Yeah looking around this thread, it seems like variability is increasing. Must be because they were receiving exponentially more boxes of forms each day that passed. Seems like we have 2+ weeks of variability now.

She has no idea. I’ve been hawking this thread because my check was cashed on 5/17 so I am assuming I am close to approval. Anyway what I noticed we are pretty dang close to being done with April. The spread is widening and there have been some oddballs but as far as April approvals go the dates have been consistent and increasing. May is just around the corner to be the flavour of the week for approvals.

I do thing the approval length is widening though. At the begging of the month I swore I would have been approved by the end of the month now I am thinking mid to late February.

F....

I rarely come in here, and mostly stay off the site since I bought my first in September.  I did not beat 41-F as my house of 11 years was sold so fast I had no where to go, and consequently, no affirmative address to put on my form.  

Cashed in Oct, and by the looks of it, maybe it will be a Christmas present to myself for 2017.  

I think I will avoid the site some more, LOL.  Good news is it's my last semester in school, so I have some other things to concentrate on.  That helps pass the time.

Takes that long to get from the examiner's desk to the outgoing mail pile, with all of the other forms ATF mails out, and then to the post office, etc etc

Don't mean to pop your balloon, but you submitted a day before the cutoff.  You're probably looking at a year plus at this point.  Mine submitted on 27 or 28 Apr (can't remember) and went pending on 4 May.  I still don't have my stamp.

You're exactly right.  It wasn't for a lack of planning though.  I made my purchase in February when F3's were running about 60-70 days.  I never did find out why my time was almost double what the average was.  My only guess is that SiCO was shipping F3's in batches rather than individually.  This is only speculation and have nothing to back it up.  It happens though.  I'm not sweating it.  It's going to happen when it's supposed to happen.

Also bought a Ghost M last month, but had to get prints/photo and dealer vacation, so not sent until 1/14ish. I'm not figuring on getting it this year since I'm a pessimist. I already bought some extra wipes and a couple pistons though...
