Have the dates of expected transfers for restricted guns been bumped up suddenly? My Sept/Oct purchases were trending to transfer in late April but when I checked the spreadsheet it showed early March now. Any insight into what's going on?

The spreadsheet is based on constantly changing data, averages that consider how many transfers were likely completed each day. The dates change constantly. I've noticed the past week or so they've processed 400-500 per day instead of the 200-300 they were moving through just after the new year started.

That's good to hear. If it's right, I should have my first transfer go through by Friday.
