Yeah, its a drag. Customer wants a Thompson....has to wait 3-6 months for the SMG to get to me on a Form 3. Then they have to wait ANOTHER 6+ months to get it to them on a Form 4. Kinda sucks having $20k+ tied up for a year and no interest being paid to you.
All my previous tax stamp purchases, including a 'manufactured by me' SBR sailed through. (The SBR was submitted at the same time and took 4 months.)
A right denied indeed. I can go 'visit' my property, but am denied using it or possessing it.
