    My SilencerCo Omega 300 is at 305 days. Did you get the buy one get one free special they were offering at that time? My free one still has not been delivered to the gun shop.

    Yes I did. I bought an Omega 300 and got an Octane 45 for free. At the same time I also bought a Gemtech 22 can. I received the Omega and Gemtech a few weeks ago. Meplat Group received my Octane in November 2018 from SilencerCo. I got an email in April 2019 that my Octane had been shipped to my dealer with a tracking number. When I checked the tracking number it had been delivered back in November. I do not expect to get the stamp til August/September timeframe.

    SilencerCo set their deadline for the free ones to be sent out by July 2019. It's their deadline so I guess it doesn't matter if they don't meet it. I'm hoping Interstate Guns gets my Octane 45 soon.

    No ****!!!! Those goofballs at NFA Branch sent the original stamp straight to you? Government inefficiencies and errors will never cease to amaze me. Glad you got your original stamp buddy.

    They did send it directly to me. The timeline went something like this: Form 4 approved, 30 days later, I requested a certified copy. They sent it to me. I picked up my can. I called them a few weeks later and asked them about the actual stamp. They said only one per form 4, no stamps are reissued. If it got lost in the mail, so be it. A week or so later, the gun shop got a certified copy in the mail. That was probably a month ago. Meanwhile, my can from you is at 9.25 months. And another that is 4 days shy of 11 months. Since the average, according to them, is 9 months, there's some lucky SOB who got their approval back in 7 months.

    We see the average being around ten months with the extremes being three months to 21 months. I wish there was a way to explain that but there really isn’t. We have a pretty large sample size here and occasionally I will parse through the data looking for trends—-there aren’t any. Like any non-accountable bureaucratic agency, they produce work product in fits and spurts that suit them. It is absolutely horrendous.

    Now just waiting on the shop to get it, assuming they actually send out the stamp on time this time. At least this stamp got mailed out on time.

    I am waiting on a SilencerCo Octane 45. Meplat Group submitted it back in Nov 2018. It was my free can from SilencerCo’s Summer Giveaway last year. I already received the ones I actually paid for.

    Can’t speak to any recent changes, but my can was approved fairly recently after a 14mo wait. Purchased mid march 2018 from silencershop. picked up late June 2019.
