Another process time info post.
Submitted Form 4 transfer from dealer to me via paper form Jan 12th and my dealer got the stamp back yesterday.
It was dated 4/3 for approval date.
This "quick" turn around was nice, but all in all this can took nearly 2 1/2 years to get into my hands. It was a bunch of bad timing and lots of waiting. My dealer placed an initial stocking order with YHM back in Oct/Nov 2012. Of course we know what happened in Nov, and then worse, in Dec 2012.
YHM took nearly a year to make and then transfer the cans to my dealer. They were, like most in the industry, focusing on everything AR and making suppressors wasn't a priority.
When YHM finally shipped, they only shipped half of the order, my 7.62 Phantom wasn't one of them. The 2nd half of the order took another couple of months to get to the dealer.
Now, my dealer was trying to use the "new" e-form system and he gave it a good fight for nearly 4 months. Trying to get past the lockouts, system outages, spending hours creating the forms to have the system crash, etc..
He had given me the option of waiting for the e-form mess to straighten up or just send paper form, which we knew were taking a LONG time to process. So, I opted for waiting and trying the e-forms. We finally gave it up and we finally got together to fill out the paper form.
So, good news, Form 4s are moving along.
