I assume these were for a private sale via an MSP barracks? I figured the firearms would not be registered until the MSP "NDs" the applications. I find it unlikely the MSP will inform all people who received 8th day firearms of their "NDs." I could be wrong.

You're an optimist, aren't you?
99 days here, and I won't even bother calling for another week or two.
It's moved beyond ridiculus and well into pathetic territory now.

100 days for me as well. Ridiculous.

I think 120 or so will be peak. I also think peak is coming soon.
@ 10 weeks until oct 1st
at the current rate of adding 2 days a week to the backlog
that's at least another 40 days
im guessing 180 for peak
buy on sept 30th, get sometime in april 2014

In another post someone mentioned they were told the number of reviews had recently decreased due to the folks at the MSP having to go through a training class. With that being said, I wonder how many more classes these folks will have to attend before October 1st? I can see this being the cause for a much longer delay than we have seen in the past.
I hope I'm wrong,

I will 100% guess an answer and say that by 4/1/2014 FFLs not releasing before an ND will still have stranded inventory of pre-Oct 1st firearms. So my guess is the peaking will be approx. 6 months (Oct thru Mar). I'm assuming here the MSP does not require HQL's to transfer a handgun purchased prior to Oct 1st. If they do require HQL's, I'm on your side of the 300 days guess--people will have to wait for ND's and HQL's. At this point people have to avoid like the plague buying a regulated firearm (handgun and semi-auto rifle) from an FFL who is waiting for O'Malley's state government to release it. It's their choice to wait, but it's your choice to shop there. Unfortunately many shoppers only learn they have a choice after the transaction, when they ask "when should I came back to pick it up?" When they learn the answer they go home, Google search on the subject and find this forum. If you know any prospective gun buyers, allert them.
Per the recording at MSP @ 410-653-4500 X8, initial review 4/14 & 4/15. Secondary review 4/8. I have a purchase at bASS pro, from 4/14. I just checked with them, nothing yet.
Side rant about bASS pro: While on the phone, I asked for the serial number for my property, to fill out a rebate form. They would not give me the number. They said I must come in to get that information.
I am over an hour away, and two tolls. If I rode down there, and waited for their exceptionally slow counter service to get the number, between gas and tolls, I would spend more than the rebate. They have very likely lost a regular customer, not just for firearms, over this. Rant over.

Not that it will make you feel any better, but Isn't 4/15 through 7/25 101 days?

If you are guessing 180 day peek, than at 2 days average per week you are looking at 90 weeks for new orders. Almost 2 years. I wonder what the FFL are telling customers making new purchases?
The recording is only updated (approximately) weekly. So, they may have moved beyond those dates by now.
