SBR

#1

Post by PBratton »

So, several years back, before all the craziness, I sent in an ATF Form 1 for a short barreled rifle build I wanted to do.

Filled out the form, wrote the $200.00 check and sent it all in after triple checking everything to be certain it was correct.

THEN, I waited... and waited... and waited :banghead:

Six agonizing months later, I FINALLY got my approved form 1 back in the mail and was able to finish my SBR build.

One would think, that after such an experience, a person would not wish to expose one's self to such torture again.

One would think...

Well, on August 5th of this month, I filled out the Form 1 again, grabbed another $200.00 and sent it in, only this time, it was an electronic version of the ATF Form 1.

After another excruciating wait, (20 days!!!), I got the approved form 1 back electronically. :woohoo

Any guesses what I'll be up to this week?

Tempted, however, I started an AR-10 build while 'waiting' on the tax stamp...

I'm tapped out right now.

I'd be tempted by an AR-10.

It seems to really be hit and miss with the ATF. Would you expect anything other than inconsistency from the government? I just got my SOT, have had my FFL for some time, some are coming back really quick, others not so.
