With '10+ weeks overdue', I mean that the transfer was initiated 10+ weeks ago, and I personally feel that's overdue.

Most people are being patient, which is great. I don't want to be that asshat that wants something faster (seems only self-serving). In this situation, I want to help the seller have less to worry about in his move. Don't get me wrong; I'd love to have this in my hands. I have the next 2 weeks off work, and it would be great to get it to the range (which wouldn't happen in any case, as I wait for registration to be sent). The seller may need to store it or otherwise figure out what to do with it until the transfer is approved.

This may seem a bit odd. For a couple of private transfers, I talked with these gentlemen for some time. I feel some responsibility to do my best possible for them.

Your comments add some nuance, and I'm less frustrated now. I'll call back mid next-week and look for a better outcome.

I know most of the CFO are accommodating, but if one said no, you can always call again later to try for a different one.

I am still waiting for the ones I order in July, but since they are initiated confirm to me by CFO, I didn't ask for anything else on the phone and said thanks. I am sure many are in the same boat as well.
