  1. Yes, just to pile on, USPS registered. The brown paper tape is difficult to find, but my local PO will let me use theirs for free. Benefits of small town living. AS has been stated, every time it is handed off someone has to sign for it and it is their butt/job on the line if it goes missing. I've not used air tags but am going to look into it for my next one. UPS definitely won't ship them, and FedEx has recently moved to deny any claim against one. I still get suppressors shipped every way, one showed up in my mailbox today with no signature required. Regular package mail, not priority or anything, from a big dealer.
  2. New personal record, submitted by e-file with mailed-in fingerprint cards on 3-18-24, approved today, 3-29-24. Just amazing. I didn't think the post office could work that fast.
  3. A good friend had his stolen and wants to replace it. I need a good condition Colt Agent with hammer shroud, anyone with one for sale please contact me.
  4. Just recently ATF showed wait time on a paper Form 4 was 201 days, same info showed 188 days for e-file. That was before the recent shift in e-file procedure. My best e-file is 19 days but I can't do electronic fingerprints.
  5. Just tried to log on, it said my password had expired so I a attempted to change it. After several attempts following the instructions EXACTLY, I had apparently used up all my chances. I went to the help page and it asked for my login ID and original email address, which I input only to be told my email address was wrong. It is maddening trying to deal with this government piece of garbage that masquerades as a website. Now I'm waiting a while so I can try again. Just wanted to vent.
  6. Thanks for all the input.. it is SOLD.
  7. Yeah, makes it a little harder for us less skilled gun nuts to take advantage of it. I've re-evaluated the value based on that consideration, price drop to $250 plus shipping.
  8. Thank you for the pics and info, sure looks like mine. This fills in a lot of holes in my understanding of the things. My pricing is based on others I've seen from a Google search, but I'll certainly entertain offers.
  9. This appears to be a clone of an M203, but in 37mm so legal, no FFL, no tax stamp. Just don't use anti-personnel rounds in it, if you can even find any in 37mm. No markings on this one that I can find, the trigger cocks and fires, bore is smooth with no dents and no rust. I got this in a box of parts from a Vet I bought a Mac10 from, I'm still trying to identify some of the parts. Feel free to ask questions, I'll answer as best I can but I'm no expert on these things. $325 plus actual shipping. A am an FFL/SOT in NE Alabama.
  10. I'm no expert on grenade launchers, very dumb, actually. I got this 37mm non-gun/no FFL launcher in a box of parts and from everything I can find out it is indeed not an NFA item, not even a firearm under ATF rules. It has absolutely no markings anywhere I can find, but is identical to several brands I've found doing a Google search. I can put in on the Non-NFA weapons forum but it isn't actually a gun. I can put it under "parts & accessories" but it doesn't exactly qualify there either. Collectibles? Not really but maybe. How do I list it?
  11. I use an old formula, a mixture of half ATF and half Acetone. I used this on a TAC 22 suppressor I'd neglected for years, the carbon was baked on hard. I put the can in a 1 1/4" PVC pipe plugged on one end with a screw-on plug in the other, along with the mixture and put it on my shop floor, kicked it around every time I went by it for a few days, and the carbon buildup wiped off like soft putty. That's what I use on any can that I can't disassemble, and some that I can.
  12. My most recent experience backs up this info. I e-filed two Form 4's for two LEO customers for suppressors. The one that came back in 19 days is for an officer who has had zero problems getting NICS approval instantly. The other LEO's Form 4 hasn't come back and he ALWAYS gets a "delay" on the NICS check. So his FBI background check is taking longer. Curious, since he has a UPN. I've found that LEO's and customers with government-related jobs often get delayed responses. One guy even had a top secret clearance and he was delayed also. All eventually were upgraded to "proceed."
  13. Posted to another topic but to keep this thread alive, I just this morning received an email approval of a Form 4 that I filed on Feb. 15, 19 days ago.
  14. I'm living proof I guess I just this morning received an approval email on a Form 4 I e-filed on Feb. 15. That's 19 days, folks.
  15. It's now marked "sold." I hope you aren't "Zake 1970" but This is so bad.....
