I put money down on that Guardian 9 suppressor today, FiNALLY! Im not thrilled with my shop though, they first told me it was out of stock over the phone (I had checked two days prior, and it was in stock). They are just down the road from my house, so I told a guy I worked with I would swing buy and see if they had a pistol he was interested in. I figured I would double check on the Guardian 9, and sure enough, they had one in the case. I asked a sales rep, and he told me if it was in the case, I could buy it. He then checked inventory and they had 11!
To make a long story short, they wound up screwing me on the paperwork. The guy who is in charge of the NFA stuff "didnt have the time tonight", which I was told AFTER they took my money. He said he would call in a week and we can finish it up. Joke is on them, Im going to be in there every single day until they have paperwork for me to finalize and mail out.
Not sure where you are, but a shop that offers those items and with an individual actually ORDERING and doing all the paperwork should be more accommodating to a person actually wanting to go through the hassle of the class 3 papers. I'd find a group of guys wanting to actually sell those items. There are plenty of shops and sellers who do, and plenty who are great with their customers who deserve your money.
At least in the KC area there are lots of guys who are all great and honest about class 3 stuff (or anything else really) here. In fact I've only met 3 shop owners who were complete pricks, and 2 are out of business now. The 3rd is only still open cause he was the only guy to sell AR parts in NKC for a long time.
