NFA Timelines Thread

[MontereyC6]

Yep, I think you read too fast and missed it in my post, I said F4 individual, lol

Wow! That's from too much yard work today!

 

[Goodcat]

Ooh excitement. Bought my suppressor (also a SiCo Hybrid) about a week after yours, check cashed on Jan 3rd. Can't be too long now 

Sico Hybrid here, check cashed 9/4/18. Form 4 Trust. Called at the one year mark, pending.

Yeah mine is approved now just waiting on the mail to get to the dealer. Trusts are taking longer, unfortunately.


Edit: Following the September Approvals Thread on Reddit and there are suddenly a bunch of people with approvals in less than 90 days with F4 Individual filings, wtf

Edit 2: Got the call and picked it up this afternoon 9/27

 

[Slow Hand]

Just a quickie to keep guys updated. 5320.20 emailed to NFAFax@ATF.gov on t evening of 9/16/19. Signed and approved on 9/23/19; received via snail mail on 9/30/19. I have three or four other pages also submitted. Hoping they come back in the next day or two.

Have seen a couple people get there form 4 back (individual) in 3 months and under lately

I don’t get it

 

[Goodcat]

In 8 days, it will be 400 days for me on a form 4 trust. Jeez... why is there no recourse?

 

[tv1217]

From what I've seen, it might be time for you to call a congressman. Or call the NFA branch first if you haven't already and find out the status. Assuming on that call it's still pending, give them another call a week later. You might be one of the lucky ones whose form suddenly and magically becomes approved.

All the magically approved ones have only been waiting 4 months

If you go to Reddit and look for the September 2019 Stamp Approval Megathread or whatever it's called, there are actually a few that are about 2½ months. A lot of those started popping up just before mine was approved.

We received one for a customer last week that was under 9 weeks for approval. Most everything else is right at 11 months.

I gotcha beat

probably the same examiner I had, Christina Farris

Was the most aggravating wait ever. Called and called and all they said was pending FBI approval until I finally talked to a different examiner and they sent her a note about that stamp. In the time that one got approved I had 2 efile Form 1s approved and 2 Form 4s sent months after that approved

 

[jeffsqartan]

OK, so I'm in the same boat as BadBrassSauce. Pending since 9/7/18 on a Form 4 trust with 2 RP's. At what point do we call our congressman? And what should we say? I'm obviously not gonna call and start yelling or being rude. But, is there any kind of guide as to what to say? Or just wing it with, "Hey, I submitted this well over a year ago, it's just sitting there, how are we gonna speed this up?" and hope the answer isn't anti-gun rhetoric of some sort?

 

[sloppyjoe]

Was the 9 week one filed as an individual or a trust?

Was the 9 week one filed as an individual or a trust?

all the super quick ones I more about and have heard about have been with individuals

 

[cobber]

Form 4 applied July 15, approved September 24, stamp received October 3. Apparently some of the backlog paperwork is going out to Oregon for processing.

It looks like things are speeding up a bit. It might be time to send in my two Form 4 paper trusts. I hated the idea of .gov keeping my $ for over a year so have just sat on these two suppressor stamp requests. They were practically free cans anyway. I haven't missed not having them.
