Did the photo you sent with the 9mm inserted in the chamber not work? Seems like you stating it under penalty of perjury should do it. People definitely lie about firearms, but most won't risk so much just to fib on caliber alone for no apparent gain - it's usually secondary lie as part of a larger scam.

the inspector is hit or miss...she can be off for up to 7 days....sometimes she works weekends, sometimes not....when i finally get an email response back from her she will answer back and forth several times before she disapears again for a week+

 

this has been going on for coming close to 4 weeks now...everything the seller emails/physically mails never seems to get to her....or isnt enough..ive already got her the things i missed on the form 4, but the other stuff isnt working out for some reason...im trying to just take over and get/send her what she needs....the seller is also phone calling/emailing....the inspector has been extremely nice to me....shows understanding of the situation...just says she is not getting the info for some reason....in another few weeks i may buy a plane ticket and meet with her in person as this is really annoying.....just spinning my wheels at this point.....

 

cant leave her a voice mail...mail box full....she doesnt answer the phone...she gets my emails, but doesnt seem to get the sellers emails....or there's some missed connection there...seller seems frustrated with her too....usps mail getting delayed, then the letter never making it to her desk....or is it under a pile and she hasnt gotten to it yet?.....

 

to me the bullet in the barrel should be enough to prove its a 9mm...

 

ill give her a few days again....then bug her maybe on Monday until i get a response

 

need to be a pest to get this done it seems....but being a pest may annoy her and make it worse.....

You can get really anal and plug the barrel with cotton, spray pam in the receiver end and pour hot parafin in and make a mold of the cartridge. Push it out when it cools and send it to them. Makes a perfect mold of the caliber.

ATF inspector said its GTG....not sure why she liked the pictures better coming from me vs the seller, but she did....said my stamp will be issued next week......no real reason this issue took 3 weeks to solve.......maybe she just shrugged her shoulders and said 'meh, good enough....time to move on to the next stamp''
