Just a quick question as to how long i should expect to wait to receive the pink slip in the mail after using the electronic PTA. Its been almost 2 weeks.

Thanks

Sounds right.

Don't think I ever got one under 2 weeks.

2-3 from memory for my last few rifles?

Wouldn't stress yet...

Yeah, don't stress.

The last 3 PTA I can remember took I think 3 1/2 weeks for one, 2 weeks or the other, and just short of 3 for my latest one.

Slow week when you got your last one I guess?

I've had one get lost in the mail and called after a month.

They just resent it, no problems.

Don't forget your PTA was already approved before you picked it up and the dealer has the paper trail on their end.

It's not like without that piece of paper you have an unregistered rifle or anything like that, if that's what you're worried about.
