I posted this in the bullpup forum but could use a larger audiance for help:

Does anyone know someone helpful at bushmaster (phone ext) I can call to verify my 2 M17s sitting at my dealer are preban. My dealer has called twice and waiting for a call back, I have sent an email and am now waiting on hold for 30 minutes for customer service. It's been almost 2 weeks I have been waiting to bring these home. Someone suggested Elijah but the ext I had for him was wrong.... ANYONE?

I called bushmaster again today and they told me I am SOL as they no longer have records of thier old serial numbers. No way to verify. I also called Windham and they at least were very nice but said they did not take the old records. Is it even LEGAL for a company to not have kept the records of guns they made and sold. I know these guns are preban as the threading is factory and the barrels are the same legnth from 2 different sellers. But my dealer won't let me have them until they hear from bushmaster they are pre ban... WTF $1800 out of pocket and I can't take them home

Sounds like you are screwed if the FFL requires you to get confirmation from Bushmaster.  The only way I could think would be to find a verifiable preban with a serial number higher than yours.

Otherwise I looks like you need to find another buyer.

Brother, my dealer is doing the exact same thing you mentioned.  Looks like you have the correct answer.

Call Remington Arms
Bushmaster was moved into the Remington Arms complex in New York state.
They may be able to direct you to a department with the records.
If the books were turned over to BATFE and a new license was issued, you may be sol but they should have retained the shipping records if you have an exact or close date when the guns were shipped.
