    Gunsmithing section

    Mailed my Form 4 paperwork June 22. Called today just to make sure they had it. I was told it went pending July 7th. Seems awful quick to go pending, not that I am complaining.

    Suppressors Suppressor/Gunsmith question

    My gunsmith would like to have my suppressor "in hand" for the barrel threading. I live in MI he is in SD. How do the laws work as far as shipping NFA items to an out state gunsmith?
