I finally got around to pulling the trigger on a can! Form 3 was e-filed yesterday.

SF Socom 762 Mini

It came down between this and the Saker. I ended up with this mainly because I want to keep my MK18 as close as I can to the real deal and plan on getting an 556RC ordered once they come back in stock. I know the Saker can utilize other mounts but wanted uniformity and this choice made sense to me.

I know some people say your first can shouldn't be a specialty can, but whatever.. if I need more I will get more later. This is going to switch back and forth on my MK18 and 300blk guns until the dedicated 556 can comes in.

anyone know the avg wait times right now? I am hoping to have this by April but not sure if that is wishful thinking or not...


I am excited to say the least!

Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between a form 3 and a form 4?

He's doing a Form 3 for a dealer to dealer transfer. Once that's done, he will start a Form 4.

Form 3 is for dealer to dealer transfer. Form 4 is the $200 tax transfer to an individual... Sorry UW, I was typing while you were posting[BD]

I wish it was only the Form 3 ;) I also wish they would open up efile for form4's again. sheesh, wishful thinking!

I still need to finish up my 300blk so I think this wait will be much easier than my sbr F1 wait was, that was a brutal and agonizing 7 months

Are eForm 3s turned back on now? I've apparently missed the memo. If only I had the funds to take advantage.

Yep, they are running fine. They still have not put the form 4 back up though

Cool I'm trying to get an LMT M203. Using a new SOT and they made it sound like there might be a problem . I guess I can wait a couple more weeks to find out if the purchase price will be going in another direction.

So what are you going to do with a M203?

Flares?

For wait time, from messages I have read is that if you e-file they seem to be getting approved within around 3 months. So, not too bad. Guys who have sent in their forms through snail mail have been having had to wait for about 9 months to get the tax stamp.

Practice chalk rounds mainly. IR illumination for pig hunting. This looks like something that might prove interesting too.

Did I just read that you are planning to use IR illumination rounds to aid in pig hunting?

That info is pretty dated. I just got a paper Form 4 back in 3 months and 1 day. eFile seems to be taking about 30-40 days if there aren't any submission errors.

Congrats on the new can! From what i've read, the times gatordev quoted above are pretty accurate. My e-Form 1 cam back in 36 days, and that included the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Thank you! That is not that bad of a wait. I should then hopefully get it at my dealer by mid February and then can start the real fun :/. I really wish they would start Efile Form 4's again.

I already have the itch for a pistol can and then once the 556RC I want is back in stock that as well. It has begun! My SBR is getting lonely and needs some friends!
