With the wait time running 3-11 months depending how you file, it's worth the wait. You have a gun or two. set up a trust, Efile. Once the approval is given, you'll have some more dinero saved up to do that 11.5" AR just the way you want. OR an AK.

my brass is now not only clean, but its shiny. I'm thinking of just getting ride of my dry media (not my vibratory tumbler) and using that as a receptacle for the stainless pins.

I have my eye out for a cheap CL treadmill. Guy on arfcom did a real nice Volume wet tumbler. OR a low budget unit is this Plastic drum and paddles. Install a bottom / rear petcock for ease of drain & rinsing.

i don't know if you read my long, whiny post above, but in 3-11 months, there is going to be even less dinero than we have now. Definitely no money for toys.

Yeah, that's a tough spot. I feel for ya, brother.

Please belly, stop encouraging me to spend my money more efficiently! [LOL]

I looked into the NFA route, but don't have any trustee's (ie kids to put down) and if I understood the process, putting my wife down wasn't enough.

HB, good luck with your funds situation. Is there a chance your wife can find a work from home type situation to at least lessen the loss of funds a bit?

We're looking at having my wife stop working when we have a kid, I have a budget for it with only my income. It's doable, but probably won't be fun. My wife wants to stay home (otherwise we'd pay almost her entire income to childcare, which the local daycares are just druggies in rehab playing with babies, and I can say that knowing it as a fact), and I think it'd be good for our baby. She's scared of putting that entire burden on me though, and is currently looking for various work at home options. I keep subtly dropping the idea of getting an FFL and doing transfers, but not sure how many I'd actually end up doing and if it'd be worth the hassle.
