I purchased a suppressor (on a Form 3) from an out of state Class III dealer. After many attempts, he finally told me that the Form 3 had cleared and that they would ship the item within a day or two.
He also said that he could not give me further info, since he is doing the transfer to my local Class III dealer. This was two weeks ago and my local dealer has not received the item.

My question is, am I allowed to ask for updates or does my local dealer have to get in contact with the out of state dealer?

Ask who? The ATF or the dealer you bought it from?

Generally the ATF won't give you much info since you're neither the transferor or transferee. But, if you get the right person on the right day, they'll tell you.

If you're talking about the dealer, you have every right to ask since you paid for it. The only out of state dealer I've dealt with was Silencer Shop. They've given me tracking numbers, ship dates, approval dates, and even copies of the F3s.

Sorry I should have clarified.

Yes, I was talking about the out of state dealer.
I will call first thing Tuesday morning to get the status and hopefully put all this mess behind me.

Thank you.

They may or may not give you a copy of the F3, since you're name isn't on it. SS does this as a courtesy if you ask.

But, you paid that dealer the money, and deserve some basic info. A tracking number would be nice.

I was thinking that they should at least provide me with the tracking number as well, but since the customer service BEFORE the sale was great!! After the sale (got my money) NOT so great, I was hesitant to even ask.

The suppressor is yours, and since you have information that the Form 3 has been approved, you have every right to know its status...
