I live out in BFE so I just mailed them in my fingerprints, super easy. For the photo you can use their app. I wouldn't worry about going way out of your way to go to a kiosk if you would rather use another dealer in their network. I wasn't about to drive an hour one way just because that dealer had a kiosk (and would also have to drive that far again to look at or pick up my suppressors). The fingerprints and photos are by far the easiest part of the process. You don't need a kiosk to do that.
I would rather go to kiosk if I can just do it all there and be done honestly
Many do. I preferred to do it all at my house and be done just as easily. I was just explaining that it's not necessary in reference to the question asked. It's marginally easier than using a paper card and the app so there would really be no reason to chose a SOT solely on that basis. I've heard of people in this thread driving an hour just to use a kiosk and then having to use that dealer for the transfer. Personally 4 hours of my life (2 round trips) is worth more than the cost of a stamp and having to wash ink of my fingertips.
If there's another kiosk close by (which there should be here)I will do that,but if not I can get my prints done again at the police station. They do it here for $5 every Wednesday
the good thing is that either way (kiosk or paper card) once SS has them they digitize them and you won't have to do them again.
Yeah, I wish I'd done that to begin with
It's the best way, honestly. Plus, they store all your stuff in their database. So, once it's on file, buying new cans is like buying from Amazon. I think you have to update your prints every couple years, small price to pay to drive to a kiosk once every few years to update your prints, for that level of ease and convenience. Just simply my opinion, but some folks like doing it the old school way where they have to snail-mail everything and it takes FOREVER.
Yeah I don't want to do that again. I'd rather just drive to a kiosk.
Obviously it depends on where you are mailing from but it took like 2 days for it to get there and the remainder of the business week for them to digitize them. I can wait under a week for part of a process that will ultimately take several months if I’m lucky. I only chime in so that someone new to the process doesn’t think that the kiosk is so convenient they NEED to drive 2 hours ,to a SOT they would never use otherwise, vs doing the exact same thing at home, minus the ink. If someone can’t figure out how to do fingerprints on their own, I have little faith they will even be able to attach the suppressor to their barrel when the time comes either.
You sent me a PM, but closed it before I could respond... 2 of my 3 were approved on 7/16/21, but I still haven't gotten my stamps yet. Called the dealer today, and they looked and said that they weren't in their most recent stack. So, I guess they'll be in the next batch....Hopefully.
I started the process on 2 more this weekend. Got the silencershop stuff all set up now so it will be easier going forward. With how long it takes, I'm just going to continue to get a new one when my next stamp comes in, until I have all that I want.
I started 2 more... One in March (cashed in early April), and one more cashed in May.
Yeah, I just put that part because I didn't want it to sound like I was just going to get a new can every 6-8 months but I probably will, or something like that
You can lie to yourself all you want, but we know what's going to happen...
Omg..that wait has to SUCK! I’ve been waiting for almost 7 months and I’m getting incredibly impatient.
Yeah, of the four of us that made purchases the same week, I am the only one still waiting.
Yep...I’m 12/10/20...I think the volume skyrocketed late 2020/early 2021
Shit the way things are moving they will probably still be on December
2 of mine were bought 12/4, cashed on 12/31, and I just got approved on 7/16, and my stamps back on 8/5.
Both of mine were cashed on 12/31 and got my stamps back on 8/2.
Approved and stamps back to dealers on 8/2.
Awesome! What cans did you get? My 2 that came back were my Nomad-LT and Mask HD.
I had a chance to try it out yesterday on my Howa 300 blackout and my 6.5....I was definitely impressed. Another one that surprised me was the Hybrid. It pretty much blew my Sig SRD45 out of the water. Very happy with both purchases in all. Now, I'm just waiting on a 3-lug adapter for the Hybrid.
so my only one in the que is running behind what they were previously by 2 months but about the same as the current situation
The idiot at the dealer told me 4-6 months average when I bought mine in early December. He lied, and has since been fired for his stupidity encroaching into other facets of his job. Took me 8 months and 1 day from purchase to in-hand.
Yep. I have several January and February cash dates with no luck yet
Just got to try my Nomad l holy cow 300 blackout is just the gun cycling. My new favorite with 300 blackout.
This is why my next 3 rifle purchases are going to be Ruger American Ranch rifles chambered for .300 BLK, 6.5 Grendel, and .350 Legend.
Yea I was wondering about 6.5 threw the nomad l. I will be getting on that to. I have the Obsidian 45 and it's a great can to. Butt the Nomad L is just wow. I would even say it's quieter than my Wolfman using 9mm subs plus wipes and that is saying something. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.
Try and get your hands on a bolt action 300 blackout.....
I am going to any recommendations?
I just picked up a Howa 1500 mini-action (My LGS had 1 left for $400)....I couldn't pass that up. I'm still breaking in the barrel, but so far I really like it. The Ruger American 300 blackout is pretty good also. Those are the only ones I've really looked at though.
