Couple lessons learned. Now I learn at checkout there's an untaxed 100$ transfer fee. They are silencer shop partners with a kioske where I did everything at SSUSA in Alpharetta. But since I bought the item through Primary Arms they charge me 100 instead of 25. So with sales tax, shipping, the stamp, the unlimited trust and this transfer fee I have 375 bucks invested in a product I paid 400.00 for. I pay 775.00 dollars to own a 400$ product.
On another note I recently bought another item through Martin's in Alpharetta. He was way more knowledgeable and opened a portal and using my ATF site pin code everything was completed in literally minutes and I should have a cheaper transfer fee. The eforms should be sluggish but way quicker than this nightmare mail in.
The other twist was the stamp approval took so long I had already moved across town. I somehow managed to get a photo ID with the same address I was living at before. I was told this would be a catch but then the FFL dealer barely looked at the address. I think I could have used my latest address. Now I have to figure out how to fill out forms and update the residence with the ATF.
Sounds like these are all a cluster F no matter what. I have the original stamp in my safe. The color copy in my range bag and I had to manually update the Silencer Shop portal with the approved status. I like how you can upload your document to the site as a backup reference copy.
If you buy local use somebody like Martin for fewer surprises and more technical expertise.
