Re: first loads, a few questions.

Re: Shutdown?

FYI - Spoke with a class 3 dealer friend of mine who said that the shutdown is definitely affecting NFA stuff. He had called YHM to check on his dealer to dealer transfer status and was told no paperwork is being processed at this time. Yep, No paperwork is going through. They supposedly aren't eve...
