Hello All,
On December 17th I paid for my first class 3 weapon (Mac 10 with suppressor on a form 3 in wisconsin). I understood that the seller (who is a class 3 dealer) would have to transfer it to a dealer in my state who would then transfer it to me. I paid the asking price and an extra $90 for priority shipping the day after I won the auction.
I called the seller the first week of january and he said "we're working on it". I spoke to the seller yesterday asking about the status again and he informed me that he hadn't even started "the paperwork" but would get to it soon. I asked how long it would take to get to my local dealer and he stated "probably a year the way things are going" and at my continued insistence he stated "at least a couple months".
When I bought my first suppressor, it arrived at my local dealer in two weeks. We filled out the paperwork and it was approved in 6 weeks. It's already been over a month and this dealer hasn't even shipped it to my dealer yet.
Questions:
Is it typical for a dealer to take this long to "start the paperwork"?
How long does a dealer to dealer transfer typically take?
What work is involved in dealer to dealer transfers? (assuming file a batf form and ship the item... is there more to it than that?)
Considering it's been over a month and he hasn't done anything... what can I do? Is there anything I can do legally to expedite the process?
I understand with the current gun frenzy in the nation that things will take longer than normal. I also undertand for me to get my application approved will probably take forever. What I don't understand is how someone can be paid a large sum of money and do nothing. I appreciate your responses.
