In November I put an order in for an 8.5" Mossberg from Long Range Precision. Sort of mixed experience in ordering and communication but overall it's been alright I guess.
However, initially they told me a few weeks to a few months for the form to come back so they could ship it to my dealer then after 3 months went by I asked if they got the form yet and they said probably not for another 3+ months...what gives? I've been through this process before a few times...never took 6+ months PER FORM. Also, I'm having a custom thigh rig made for the gun and thinking of putting a Tamer grip on it. Can anyone speak to these? Are they good to go or what? EDIT: I forgot to mention that mine will be 3+1...that is something Serbu nor Safety Harbor offers!! I love that advantage. I'm anxious to try it with mini-shells even though they get mixed reviews. Thanks! -Emt1581 |

Wait wait wait wait wait.
Let's back up this train a minute. You put in an order from Long Range Precision. They're shipping it to your dealer. Is Long Range Precision an SOT who is manufacturing the firearm? There is no wait for any "forms" in that situation (ie the manufacture of the firearm itself). They manufacture the item, send a F2 to the ATF, and then start the F3 process from them to your dealer. This shouldn't take much more than a few weeks on average. A F3 should not take 6 months. |

They aren't sending the form so they can make it....they already made it the week after I paid them. The form they sent is so they can send it to my local dealer...they said it's been taking 6mos....are they full of shit? If so, what's the rationale for lying? How do I pursue the issue with the ATF? Last time I did this Dawn Henson was the go to gal that signed off... Thanks -Emt1581 |
| I ordered a 9mm suppressor that transfered on a form 3 to my dealer. It was submitted to the NFA Branch on 12/16/2011 and the transfer was approved 12/22/2011, it was at my dealer on 1/5/2012. I know form 3 times can vary, but I have never seen anything about them taking six months. |
|
I had a similar experience where I was "waiting on a form 3" for months. Turned out my dealer thought he had ordered the suppressors and even told me that all the paperwork had been completed. Turns out he actually never ordered them. Put me 6 months behind in my purchase process. I'm still not happy about it.
I'm still waiting on a form 3 right now that, if people are being honest about, has been pending for over 5 weeks. After my last dealer experience, I have a hard time believing anything until I mail the form 4 myself. |

After my last dealer experience, I have a hard time believing anything until I mail the form 4 myself. Had a similar situation with gunrunners usa a while back (almost a year ago) and I've still not recieved my can. They forgot to send in the F3, I called 3 times in 3 months and stopped by twice (out of state dealer 4 hours away) Every time I called or stopped by they went to look at the "paperwork" and told me that it was still delayed. Only after I demanded a refund did the truth come out that they did sent in the paperwork in the first place and lied about "checking on it" all the other times IMHO I should have made them refund my money but instead they said that they would give me a "deal" on a second can, I was suspecting something for wholesale. Instead he quoted me the SAME price for a tac-65 that he did months earlier when I bought my SS sparrow can, a slap in the face. At the time transfers were taking 3 months, I could have had the can in 4. They delayed me 3 months and I'm at nearly a year with current wait times, I should finally have the F4 done in about a month. |

Seems a little fish...again...what number do I want to call and who do I want to ask for to get things in gear?
EDIT: Just figured I'd add this...this is the most recent email I have from them from mid-December... "The Form 3 was sent out in the later part on November...the gun had to be special built with a 3+1 before the Form 3 could be submitted. I will let you know just as soon as I receive the approved Form 3 back and process the shipping." Thanks -Emt1581 |

No way form 3 is taking that long, or expected to take that long.
My form 3's come in approved from 7 days to 21 days max. from manufacturer or distributor (I am an FFL/SOT) Do you have the serial number? If not, you won't get too far calling the ATF number, as that is what they are going to ask for. 304-616-4500 NFA Branch Phone # My guess is that the F3 hasn't been submitted, or there is some problem in manufacturing... 
If the form 3 was indeed submitted, your receiving dealer should be able to get the serial number from the manufacturer and check on it for you. |

If the form 3 was indeed submitted, your receiving dealer should be able to get the serial number from the manufacturer and check on it for you. Couldn't I just ask the ATF if an AOW was submitted by said company for the week they said they sent it?? I went through the serial number game before...he woutldn't release it to other customers (their ser. no.).... I'm feeling kind of stuck here. Couldn't the ATF do anything?? As far as my dealer, good enough guy but he said he ran into the same issue with ser. no's with previous customers...again, the guy won't give them out to anyone. What do I do here? Thanks -Emt1581 |

Don't bother calling the ATF yourself to check on a form 3. I tried that and they told me it specifically has to be the dealer that calls for that information. Trust me, I tried for this most recent 5 week or more form 3. So my local dealer...not this Long Range Precision...can call and get the info?...even without a ser. no.? I need to know what to do to FORCE LRP's hand if need be. Thanks -Emt1581 |

The Receiving dealer can call yes, but they will need the serial number.
Hate to say it, but reluctancy to even give out the serial to your dealer is a huge red flag. (no legitimate reason not to.... unless it was never submitted, because you dealer would make one call and find the truth) I usually have serial numbers within 2 days of the form 3 being submitted (and I'm usually CC'd on the E-fax'ed Form 3 itself) Call your manufacturer and put the pressure on, or take your business elsewhere. (probably not what you want to hear, sorry) |

(he's got my phone number to).... if he says no to me, I suppose I could call the ATF up and forward that response to them. I'd imagine they would not be happy about it. Another idea is that I've already paid for it, plus I have my C&R which means I get to go straight to the ATF with ANY firearms related issues...maybe that might be a route. I mean Brad is nice enough but this process is worrying me... Thanks -Emt1581 |

They gave me mine with no problem. I talked to him yesterday and he said he just received a stack of forms back form the ATF and that some were from as far back as October. Hopefully yours was in that stack. |

Also, for those curious the custom sheath I'm having made is an skt but I am having him extend the holster to cover the extra 2" of barrel, sew the end shut and add a thumb snap. He also made one with MALICE clips and it is HIGHLY functional instead of having to play with a buckle AND bungee to get the gun out. -Emt1581 |

I wanted to update everyone.
I did get the serial number today. He said it should be any day now and also said that since numerous states have now allowed NFA items that it's increased wait times significantly due to volume. He also said that on March 1st or somewhere around there a CLEO sign off will no longer be needed. Is any of this true? Either way at least now I can get further info. Thanks -Emt1581 |

It's not the wait so much as wanting to know if it was intentionally delayed for some reason... we shall see. -Emt1581 |

Alright I heard back from my dealer today. He started the conversation by asking me if I was sitting down.
Turns out the form 3 was NEVER SUBMITTED!!! 
He said the ATF's NFA branch had no record of my serial number on file. Then I immediately called this Brad and got his voice mail. Haven't heard back and it's been a while. I do have a copy of the invoice with all my info and his info on it...no form 3 copy though. I'm thinking tomorrow I call the BBB as I'm guessing the ATF won't care about fraudulent anything unless a gun is unaccounted for. Any other ideas on where to go here?? Thanks -Emt1581 |

Yet another update....
I got on the phone with everyone but Santa Clause today trying to figure things out. Making a long story short, the ATF verified that this guy had the gun matching the serial number he gave me. Plus they said since he never filed the form 3 there was nothing they could do. Tonight the guy called me and said he filed the form three back when he said he did and said he'll call the ATF and if need be resubmit it. Either way he'll be emailing me a copy tomorrow. Here's my thoughts... Since the guy called me back plus I verified that the number matched a gun he actually has I'm not quite so worried that he's going to run off to Mehico with my $570. Plus once I get the form copy I'll have at least somewhere to go with the ATF if there are any more issues. Also, this guy seems to be somewhat relaxed business-wise. I mean common sense would tell me that if I send a form I should probably verify it gets to the ATF. Additionally, if it's been 3 months and should only take a few weeks...I might want to call and see what the issue is.... not him. Again, "relaxed". Now would I order from him again, no. I need my dealers to be on the ball and up to date at all times. I'm not impatient but this is ridiculous. Lesson learned. -Emt1581 |

Yet another update...
Back in April, I checked with the ATF to see what the story was. I was told my form was approved and the guy had a few weeks to send the gun or the agents would pay him a visit. Within a few days I got a call from my dealer telling me the gun was there. I went to check it out. Folks, I have to give credit where credit is due... it was a work of art. The craftsmanship on it was top notch! No corners cut with any of the cuts, welds, or attachments. The vfg was stiff and will need to be broken in. Other than that, I am VERY happy with this gun so far. The dealer wouldn't let me see if I could fit 3 shells in the mag tube since it was late and in his home. That is the last thing I need to find out when I finally get it....if I fits that many in such a small space. Also I'm hoping it cycles well. II'll report back after I get it and take it to the range. At this point, I'd say this guy knows what he is doing in the manufacturing side of things. However, he has a LOT to learn about customer service and making sure things get where they need to promptly. Since his product seems to be good quality, I wouldn't have a problem buying from him again ONLY if I lived right near him and could be all over him like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snow storm...to make sure he stays motivated. -Emt1581 |

I know I have another thread going on the issue but I figured I'd update this thread just for shits and giggles....
I called the NFA branch a few weeks ago. I was told the application became "pending" on May 21. I was also told November for when it should be approved. I then called my dealer and he said 6-8 months. So at the latest January. Now if the Mayans were right, it'll be 10 days too late at the very least.... -Emt1581 |

Now if the Mayans were right, it'll be 10 days too late at the very least.... -Emt1581 EMT, the Mayans didn't count leap years, we're already passed that date 
Glad it's working out for you in the end. Sucks to hear it was such a PITA for you, but I'm thrilled to hear it looks nice

After monitoring NFA tracker for a while and just for shits and giggles I called up the NFA branch to verify I had the right check-cashed and pending dates. I was told "It was approved September 27th".
They said to call up my dealer and see what the story was. He said the stamp got there the night before. A few hours later I drove out to east bumblefuck to this guys house.and picked it up. It's beautiful!! A true work of art. I hope to get out to the range soon to put some rounds through it and see if I need the raptor grip or if the tamer will do. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer. I'm just glad I have it! :) -Emt1581 |
Good to hear you finally got it.
I'm still waiting on my transfer. NFA tracker shows a high probability of this month so I called today and its still pending. I believe this week was officially the year mark from the payment date. Let's see a picture of the new toy when you get time. |

Let's see a picture of the new toy when you get time. Thanks and I'll try to get a pic or two up when I get time. One thing I forgot to mention was the holster. It is do-able but I would not run with it unless my life depended on it. It's sort of like having a toddler clinging to your leg. Maybe a load on the other leg with balance it out. -Emt1581 |
