Mine took about 3 months too. Got it a couple months before the election. Most of that time was waiting on the LA to send back the backgroung check or whatever back to the BATF.
The BATF was always quick to return emails to check the status of the application.
Recently renewed mine for a second time. While the glory days of 3 Mausers for $100 are over, there are still some good deals on surplus guns out there.
