Don't take this as me defending them because I have no love for them, they just have a system that works well for me and I am sure they have far more happy customers than disgruntled ones. In the research I've done and interviews I have listened to they comply with state and federal laws wherever they operate and have for whatever been granted some leeway by the ATF in some areas. People claiming that they are going to get busted by the ATF for buying
I ordered a Banish 30 and a 22 from them and it got processed almost immediatly, like a day after I made the order. There were no issues with the process at all. In the end it does get annoying when they tell you that you are all good to go and then it takes (for me) about 10-14 days to get it. Would it be cool if it was in the mail immedietly ??? absolutely.
The process worked well enough for me that I used them again for a TBAC 7 and a mask 22. There was a short hold up with both cans as they actually had to recieve them from the manufacturers, this was about 5 days on the TBAC and about 2 weeks on the mask. Yes, it adds some extra time but I don't have to fly to Anchorage, rent cars, check into hotels and deal with trashy city BS to get a silencer. It saves me a lot of stress and money to just get them on order and forget about them. Now hopefully the efile goes faster than that paper file.
