I ordered a QuietBore setup before they changed to the Form 1 required (back in late July). Had them do the engraving and I started the paperwork with the ATF the same day. So yes, there are those of us who do that- and I’m glad I did.
It stayed in “Pending research” mode for over 2 months and finally cleared about 7 days ago to the next “In progress” step. Had I waited till I had the ‘kit’ in hand it would have added 6 more weeks as that’s the shipping + engraving timeframe. And as long as you match the name and SN you give QuietBore to engrave with what you put on your Form 1 paperwork it’s going to be fine.
