Purchased new Colt 6933 from Clyde Armory...process so far:

Purchased: 4/16/09
Shipped out to my dealer: 5/20
Delivered to my dealer: 5/23
Set up trust, notarized: 5/27 (on way to hospital to have baby)
Handed Form 4 back to dealer: 6/12
Mailed packet to ATF: 6/13
no activity....apparently it was either lost or never got mailed
Re-send packet to ATF, after confirming it's not in their system yet: 8/7
Check cashed:
Approved:
Received:
Picked up rifle:
Magpul class where I won't be shooting my SBR: 9/29


Partially my fault as I really should have realized there was a problem sooner. Thanks to this thread through for showing that the check should have been cashed early on and causing me to check in.

SHIVAN- Looks like you've taken possession of some sweet guns recently! Wish I had the coin for a 556.

[CKettler]

i just got another stamp today. it was mailed to the ATF on October 28. just shy of FOUR freakin months just to transfer a suppressor.

also, i'm waiting on another suppressor to transfer to my dealer. the mfg said they filed the paperwork in late November. I've never had a dealer-to-dealer transfer take longer than 4 weeks before.

this is really just beyond nuts.

I'm told Noveske to a dealer is now at least 3 months for paperwork
