Quoted: its best to get something that is in stock, even if its from a dealer in another state. Special orders take too long. |
Form 3 stuff is taking a month right now so buying from a stocking dealer may not be any better than buying from the manufacturer if you have to across state lines. If a dealer instate has the suppressor already, that will be faster. Manufacturers should be able to fax a form 3 and get approved within 48 hours or less. If NICS checks can be done in 5 minutes these forms should be less than 2 business days.
Now, you don't want to hear this, but you are lucky that things are as fast as they are these days. I remember when waiting 6 PLUS months for a NFA item to be in my hands was normal. Now its more like 2 months. One month for the Form 3 and one for the Form 4.
Its better than it used to be, but still SLOW.
