I bought one on May 30th during the announcement from a large store, still no word.

I’m just expecting everything I buy now to be 6 months out.

Lol. I just bought another yesterday and the store did the transfer today. Almost exactly 71000 higher than the one that likely got put through in the first couple days of June. So that's 70 thousand guns in maybe 50 days changed hands lol

If you bought may 31st, that store did not send your transfer in a timely manner. I bought may31st, and the store sent mine in around 10am June 1st and I'm 5888xxx. I would be a tad disappointed in that shop if I were you.
