In May I placed an order for a 762-SDN-6 through SS. This was right after SS helped cause the crash the eForm system due to batch filing.... Or so everyone says.. If that's true, THANKS FOR SCREWING THE REST OF US SILENCER SHOP!
SS called me a few days after I had placed my order and said they would need me to drive out of state at least 50 miles one way to pick it up once they found a dealer who would work with them to accept the transfer. I said no way (more like HELL NO), and canceled my order. I had no idea that at the time I placed my order with them that they had no local dealers in their network. Since they had no local dealers, I went to NFA that same day and placed my order for the same suppressor (I think it was like May 29th), and they said it would likely transfer within 60 days to them on form 3 from the dealer they ordered it from. It did. Almost 60 days on the dot. It came in, I got to fondle it, and into the vault it went until I get my ATF approval...
Just a couple days after I ordered it through NFA, SS called to tell me that they and NFA agreed to do business together, and asked it I still wanted to place the order again, I said no, because I had already ordered it from NFA, and the price was really no different.. (I think it was just slightly higher, and I had to pay sales tax. No biggie) Plus I had placed orders with SS in the past for other items, all of which I wound up canceling because they never actually had the parts in stock that they claimed they had.... My experience with them has not been a good one... My experience with NFA on the other hand has always been great!
Anyway... It's been over 4 months since my check was cashed, and I've heard nothing... If it's approved soon, I'll be sure to post so we can keep track of the ATF approval times locally...
