    I run mine on a Browning Buckmark, Walther P22, Ruger 10/22 & 77/22. It's nice to have options. :)

    This might be a good reason for a one of us to make a road trip.:)

    I think you are right. I live down in south county so both places are trip for me. I just like Delmarva because its never really crowded, big range and you can bring your own targets.

    Quick question... I have 2 items that have been in the pipeline for some time now. The check was cashed on 2 Aug. How does one check to see the progress.

    I will have 3 more items begin the process this Friday. I hate waiting.

    Thanks!

    Call ATF at 304-616-4500. Have a copy of your form 4's ready. Just say that you would like to check on the status of a couple of form 4's. They will ask you for the serial number of the 1st one. Give her the SN, your name, and the C3 dealer who is handleing your transfer. She will then tell you something like "pending 8/17". If you are a MD resident, then your reviewer is Dana Pickles. If you're not a MD resident, just ask for the name of the reviewer.

    Delmarva is definately much less restrictive with the targets that you can shoot. Same thing with shooting full auto.

    Wow, that one took a long time for review. Almost 6-1/2 months!

    That is the first "existing NFA item changed to another NFA item" that I have seen. AOW to SBR. What did you do, add a stock on something?
