Yeah, when they moved the NFA section to WV they chewed up the backlog and sped things up considerably for a while. That news got out and it combined with the recent "NFA Trust" route popularity to flood the NFA branch with much higher numbers that have slowed everything down again. I wish they'd expand their NFA examiner branch to speed things up again, but that's the breaks I guess (at least as far as the artificial construct of the NFA act goes...).

Yeah, that would be real nice, seems like not too terribly long ago it was taking less than 3 mos. You can shoot without a can, not much you can do without a barrel though.

guys, dont feel too bad about the wait. I talked to Bob at Templar today and he says my blank is probably 4 more weeks out from getting to him, so, Ill wait a little longer. There is nothing he can do except wait, so thats what ill have to do. I called to ask him about some dimensions, wasnt even gonna bug him about the eta. Im glad to be dealing with someone who is up front and honest about the wait times. Long story short, it looks like its industry wide from small parts all the way up to the premium barrel makers. Good things come to those who wait!

I canceled my AA barrel and ordered from midway. It arrived today and the box and barrel are clearly marked 6.5 Grendel and not 264 at all.

What brand did you get?

The Midway AR Stoner. All the info I find is it is made by ER Shaw. I've read a bunch of places that the AA is also an ER Shaw.
