    Please tell me, as someone who's never bought an nfa item but considering it, what the hell they are checking that can take that long?

    10 mins after some shooter makes the news they can tell you everything about them down to their favorite cereal as a sixth grader but the aft takes 6 - 8 months to approve a suppressor.

    It takes 'that long' to get to you. It probably only takes minutes to go over your form to make sure you dotted all the Ts and crossed all the Is.;)

    you should be able to save the trust in a lower quality PDF to cut the size. Had to do it to mine.

    yeah, I started at 100% which was a 14mb file. Then I kept cutting it down. Finally got to around 2mb @ 20%. It accepted that. .

    Sweet Success. 1 down, at least two more to go...

    :D
