About two weeks back, I was talking to this guy today that said that I will be waiting much more than 6 or 6.5 months to get my stamps.
He said that the dealers just say that so that you don't get discouraged.
I kind of ignored him, until today.
Today is week number four from when I first submitted my ATF paperwork.
According to one of my dealers, he said it will take about 3-6 weeks, and on average four weeks, for the form 3 (to transfer the gun from that out-of-state dealer to the dealer in my state). Today, when I called my local dealer, they said it takes much longer than 4 weeks for them to receive the MG. DOAH!
I read that ATF strives to have the stamp issued within 9 months!!!
I read on another forum (from about a year ago), that some guy had waited seven months, and still didn't have his stamp.
Does anyone have recent experience on the actual wait time? Is it really 6-6.5 months? Or am I waiting until spring for my guns?
