gtx guns, lindbergh guns and guitars in georgetown,tx.
Just got off the phone with the owner of RRC firearms LLC where rifle was purchased ( recommend to all A++ ) He sent shipping label to ffl for the return of the rifle I paid for. Told me he'll hold onto rife until appeal is overturned or return money plus small fee or restock. Also told me if rifle is not returned he'll file a stolen report with ATF. God in Heaven ... SANTA LIVES !!!
As long as dickhead FFL has rifle it is not stolen. Sending FFL cannot legally report it stolen since it was received by the FFL he sent it to.
If it were me, I would find another FFL to taker gun from dickhead FFL and hold until you get things sorted out.
Go get your CHL. One-time, extensive background check and then no more NICS.
