Pretty sure that's their "shop" area, but I was only back there once. Interesting...I wonder if they're *supposed* to be liquidating assets?

Other interesting rumors from arfcom:
"In other news, a guy I know there said there were 3 white cargo vans parked in from of the shop last week. It is assumed that they were removing his inventory. Hopefully those awesome Facogs don't get lost in the system."

Wild. What a mess.

Any updates?

Did a google and ran across the thread that was on AR15.com. That was interesting.

FYI - many of those posters are NFOA'ers

I have heard that he is closed up, inventory sold off, and that pending items are being transferred by him as they get approved by the ATF.

Looks like arraignment is today...

I have a coworker that just picked up his suppressor on Sunday Feb 23rd from Exeter. He got his NFA Stamp and made arrangements for the pickup and no problems.

Do you have a receipt? You could take him to small claims. If he filed your paperwork, i thought the omaha ATF was handling the transfers.

mike_p · « **Reply #75 on:** August 19, 2014, 12:25:01 PM »

I got my receipt. I contacted the ATF back in March. They told me there wasn't much they could do yet. If Rob is found guilty and looses his FFL, the ATF said they would
expedite the process.

Did you pay for it with a credit card? If so, challenge the charge i.e. you did not receive your merchandise (once the BATFE approval comes through).

Gary · « **Reply #77 on:** August 19, 2014, 02:20:54 PM »

After so many days goes by, not much the credit card companies will do in most cases. I think the main window closes at 60 days.

mike_p · « **Reply #78 on:** August 19, 2014, 06:45:14 PM »

Paid with a check. I am not as mad about being out the $ as worried that there is a class 3 item in my name that is not in my possession.

I wouldn't worry too much about that, I'm willing to bet any pending NFA items are now in possession of the ATF until proper approval and transfer to rightful owners.

Don't quote me on that, it's just what I would do as the ATF were I in that position.
