Some good news for me!!

[absrio]

#1 of 2 stamps has been approved. My Serbu Super Shorty was approved on 9/15/10. Now I just have to wait for Corey from SSNFA to call me and make arrangements to get it. My form was mailed May 10.

 

[Bflo]

Congrats!

 

[Clay]

darn!

that means my can is still 4 weeks out!

 

[IndyMonkey]

Happiness....

I would be knocking on his door right now.....

 

[remymartin]

Knowing your stamp is back is better than finding you you didn't knock up your old lady. Congrats.

 

[curraheeguns]

Didn't come today.....maybe Monday?

 

[IndyMonkey]

Oh, I thought it was in Corey's hand.

I had one approved on the 28th of August....and still nothing in my mail box.

 

[curraheeguns]

The other pending Serbu stamp came yesterday though....thank God. They take up so much room in the safes!!!

 

[dmorrow23]

Yeah

 

[absrio]

Why does the first four months go fast. Then the you find you have been approved and now waiting for the paperwork takes forever.

 

[IndyMonkey]

I had one that was approved 25 days ago and it had not showed up yet. Come to find out, I moved since I mailed the form off and it had my old address on it. NFA paperwork is non forwarding. Mr. Clutter sent me a copy of it on Monday.

After 142 days of waiting the Serbu is in my possession. Pictures to follow...

With the exception of 1 stamp all of mine have been approved in less than 3 months after check clearing. I guess I should count myself lucky.

I love the Serbas except when they hit my chin than it hurts.

Sweet! Now it needs a Hogue tamer and ammo side saddle.

I've been told that the paperwork is divvied up based on the transferring shop's name. Alphabetically, in other words.

If your shop begins with some common letters, it stands to reason that there are more shops / paperwork for each examiner to handle.

*I believe this is what the guys at Wanamaker Guns told me when I was getting impatient with my stamp.

I don't think thats entirely true because I have multipe items out with the same shop and with different examiners. So there is probably more to it than just that. Same goes for Form 1's, my forms went to three different examiners and I never changed my name.

I was able to get outside and put four rounds of birdshot through it. Definitely did not kick as bad as I thought it would. Next Midway order I will probably order the Hogue grip though.

Just an update I put 11 rounds of Winchester cheap birdshot through it today. I have learned you can't be easy on it when ejecting or it will not eject the shell. We did the shooting about 7:15 tonight and it does put off a nice fire ball.

Has anybody tried the Aguila mini shells yet? I have heard they work in some and not others. It is truly is a fun gun to shoot.

 

[curraheeguns]

I had trouble with some cheap short brass rounds in my 870 SSS once. The brass actually bent and it jammed in the chamber. I had to remove the barrel and bolt/forearm to get it out.

Not sure what causes it but I have never had trouble with high brass or even quality low brass shotshells.
