    Nice...Tromix S17 is a fun little gun. Tromix list doesn't open back up until June 2012. I'm going to see if I can get a S06 to go with my S17.

    WTF?

    I thought the BATFE was extremely busy. 5 month wait times for a Form 1/4...

    I mailed a 5320.20 off to Needy, WV on Dec 21st, and received it today :confused:

    Something isn't adding up...

    I'm confused...a 5320.20 isn't a F1 or F4...so...?
    The 5320.20 has never taken, nor is it said to take anywhere near the times of the F1/4.

    I wouldn't expect a one week turn around (mailbox-to-mailbox), if the BATFE is so darn busy as they say they are.

    ar15dave,

    Yeah, Dana is my examiner. Looking at NFAtracker.com you can see Dana hasn't approved anyone in 2012 yet. His last one was 12/31/2011.

    This wait time is getting stupid....

    Yeah i noticed that as well. Hope everything is OK. Maybe he took a few days off and needs to play catch-up now. Lets hope.
