What made you choose the 6945 over other similar options? Hope it doesnt take that long, I was told by a manufactuer that the weight is only 8-12 weeks.[/QUOTE]
I had been out of the gun world for about 15 years and and just decided to get back in it. I wanted a colt SBR and started researching.
Honestly, I didn't know much about the others. I kept my search primarily to Colt, because that was about the limit of my experience.
The wait is what it is. I originally ordered the gun in Dec of 2011. There was a mix up with the distributor and the order was resubmitted in April of 2012. The form 3 took forever and the gun finally arrived at my shop on the 7th of August. I picked up the papers yesterday from the CLEO and sent them to the ATF. The wait continues.
The 8-12 weeks is most likely the Form 3 transfer.
Form 1 and 4's are taking 6 months or longer..
I'm hoping late Dec for my last Form 1...
Went ahead and ordered the Mk18. I'm sure (in 8 months) I wont regret the decision :)
