Nice!
Unfortunately the best I can hope for is the new ATI STG-44 in .22lr...the good news in they are pretty good, and mine is on order!
Well, that and my Shoei....but I wish I could have one like yours! Like the two tone!
In case anyone is interested it is now taking 7 months for the ATF to approve class 3 paperwork.
I am surprised you do not have to hire a lawyer to get them to stop dragging their proverbial feet... 7 months is ridiculous, especially if you have already done one before.
I am retired active duty military (35 years) and now I work for the feds and am stationed in DC. Up to now I have been a die hard Republican my entire life but no more. Thanks to the Republicans in the house, this is the third year that Civil Service salaries have been frozen (Congress' is not, by the way) there is a hiring freeze so ATF cannot fill any positions where a previous employee has left, the House also wants to raise health care cost for civil servants (Congress' was lowered). The House also wants to extend the freeze for 3 more years and the also wants retirement contributions to be raised 5%. A competing Republican sponsored bill from the House instead wants the Fed retirement system completely abolished (Congressional retirement stays.) I have voted Republican all of my life, but no more. this is not coming from the President but directly from the Republican members of the House. So, while I am in the same boat waiting for a transfer to be approved, I understand why it is happening, ideological rhetoric aside, I feel blame should reside where it is deserved, and not really where I would have liked it to be. tough pill for me to swallow, but I really have changed where I point my finger over the last year and a half.
jack944,
Congrats on the MP-44. Very nice. My last form 4 was a little over two years ago and it went through in 4 months and a few days and that was when some of the BATF offices were moving to West VA. I remember a time when it took 2 months. It keep going up. At least we can still acquire class three in PA. Maybe you'll consider bringing it to the next Allentown show. Would love to see it in person.
