If so, how long did it take for SiCo to transfer your free can to your vendor after you submitted all the paperwork?

Yes, still waiting. My status has changed to "processing". July 11th I got a email confirmation from SiCo that they received my submission.

Damnit, I wish I knew about that, I want a can something awful

So you're already on 6 weeks. I'm only at 3 weeks, so it sounds like I have a while to wait.

Get ready to do a lot of waiting. I signed up for a free Omega 300 9 days into the BOGO this time and I don't expect to get anything for a VERY long time.

I signed up for the free Octane 9 can on December 2, 2021 when I ordered my Hybrid 46 and Warlock II in late November. I'm still waiting for the Octane 9. Sico shipped it in September of 2022 and I had it certified 9/21/22. I'm still waiting for ATF approval 336 days later which puts me at 629 days total since I submitted for the BOGO can.

I should have had my octane about a month ago but silencer shop forgot to send in one persons fingerprints and pictures. So I'm back in line…..

Ouch!

Why does it take the free can so long to ship? That is insane to me

They don't build them until they're allocated and then they probably limit it to a small part of their production.

Yeah I'm fully expecting the form 4 process to take a long time, once it gets started.

The point of this thread was just to get some insight on the form 3 transfer time frame from SiCo to my vendor. I know that last year when SiCo did this deal they were a little overwhelmed and the free cans took a long time to fulfill, but I was HOPING they learned a lesson from last year and were shipping out the free cans faster this year.

Made the purchase from Silencershop on June 9 and the BOGO's were received at my vendor on August 1. So a little short of 2 months.

It took me almost a year to get it shipped/arrived back in 2018. They supposedly lost my paperwork or something like that at one point…ALLEGEDLY. Customer service has always been top notch but that bogo lead time is absurd

Btw, at that time….estimated wait time was 4 months

purchased omega February '22
Received Octane BOGO on June 2nd, '22
efile form 4 omega approval July 25th, '22
efile form 4 octane approval March '23

WTF? This is the polar opposite of my experience

Purchased Hybrid 46 and Warlock II November 2021
Recieved Ocatne BOGO at FFL September 2022
efile form 4 approvals for Hybrid and Warlock June of 2022
efile form 4 for Octane still waiting

I got into the efile form 4 right off the bat on the omega, but it just blew up in lead time and is now 280+ days.

Okay, so you don't have approvals, but certifications?

full approval. those are the dates i got the tax stamps and picked up the cans.

Almost 1 year later and my status went from "In process" to "shipped"....

My status with the FBI and ATF are delayed for the same amount of time though, so i guess im not really in any rush to get the free can if i cant put my grimey hands on it anyway.....

I tried to add an email from SiCo, but the thread wont let me so i have taken a few sentences out of it.... "The lead times on the bogo will drastically change based on when you registered and if you registered properly.

We expect to average about 1000 free cans manufactured and shipped each month. However, we still do not know how many registrations we are going to receive. We're currently around 12,000 with only a couple days left to register. Looking at your submission, you are 1,6XX th in line. I know that might sound high, but chances are yours is around 6 weeks out."

That was from August 30th of last year and it just changed to "shipped" on 4/20/24 so they are full of ****, but exactly why they cant give an exact time frame...

Almost 9 months in and I'm still waiting for my free can to ship. I called SiCo and they couldn't/wouldn't tell me where I was at in line, but they did say that last time they did this promotion, it took them almost 16 months to fulfill all the free cans, so I should be prepared to wait up to that long.

I got in towards the end of the deal, so I'm fully expecting to have to wait over a year.

pretty much how i am. didnt purchase mine till end of july so figured it will at least be a year before i get any info on it.

Well after 349 days, the status on my BOGO can from SiCo finally changed from "In Process" to "Shipped". They are just two weeks shy of taking A YEAR to get it shipped.

Mine still says in process. With original purchase date of 7/20/23 and bogo confirmation email of 7/24/23

The update of this thread gave me hope. Checked my confirmation # and still processing.

I received my confirmation email 7/11/23.

Got a nice surprise today. Dealer received my free omega300 today. A little over a year wait. Hopefully the form 4 doesn't take 9 months.

Finally got mine about a month ago!!

Didn't participate in this deal, but I got a call yesterday that my Omega 300 was ready to pick up. It took less than 2 weeks.
