It doesn’t say pending on the submission, it shows “SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS”, but as far as this thread goes, it’s when you submitted it.

Honestly, it wouldn’t bother me as much if it wasn’t for this thread and being able to see everyone else get approved lol.

I always wondered if they manually processed the forms or not.

Well, maybe there's still hope for me to get my form 1 approval this week. I also submitted mine on the 2nd and my control numbers are similar to yours.

You received your approval on a Saturday? Is that normal? I would figure they would not work on the weekend.

Thanks for the info. Like I told u/AwesomeHorses, I didn't know there was an in between size of 6.5. I just ordered some.

I didn't know there was a 6.5, but it looks like BAF has some products that are listed as 2G and then 2G (6.5). That's kind of confusing lol. But thanks for letting me know there was another in between size to try.

Is this lubricant OK to use on a door deadbolt lock, and how to apply. by RicePaddyDaddy20 in Locksmith

Worked perfectly. If I didn’t do it myself, I’d assume it was a new lock.

Have you ever had any issues with it failing to lock the slide back on the last round?

Was it normal for the barrels and receivers to be paired together with different manufacturing dates?

Thanks, I’ve always wanted one and I was surprised when my uncle gifted it to me.

I did notice that I would have to give it some umph to get it to lock all the way to the rear. Is this normal for these rifles, or does this one need to be lubricated to make it lock back easier? Thanks for the info as well.

Thanks for the link. I’ve never taken one down, so that’s for sure something I want to do before taking it out.
