Atlantic Firearms Processing Time.

Sorry to thread jack but I would like to add; not all shops do this. Some do some don't. However I believe a number of shops no longer do it since long guns are registered now. I could be mistaken.

Good point as this was a Dec 2013 purchase!

Yes, I bought the rifle on a Sunday night online and went down to my LGS Monday morning with receipt. They started Drops right then...

Huh? How did you get a receipt? I got the one in the email but no serial number on it or anything. Don't they need that fro DROS?

[Atlantic Firearms.com]

Customers are emailed a receipt once the order has been placed so they can have the order # be sent in with the ffl , we will send a final receipt with the gun to the dealer with the serial number written on it . We do not assign serial numbers until the gun is pulled and shipped out.

Last year it was possible to start DROS before receiving the rifle because the serial was not part of the DROS. Unfortunately no longer possible now.

And Atlantic is pretty prompt. It will get to your FFL soon.
