What do you guys see as a normal time from purchase to check cashed date? Purchased from a dealer that collects fee as part of purchase and pays the fee with form so I don’t have a way to look at that date as if they cashed my check. Have tried to avoid calling dealer or batf and taking up someone’s time, just trying to get an estimate or average to go off of.
I've seen as short as a week but more typically 2 weeks or so. They cash checks fast once received.

Okay good to know. Dealer seems to be on top of things so I assume it went out right away. Sitting at 158 days since purchasing so I feel like I should be close.
Finally decided to make first call to check status, received date was 9/19 and currently pending.

175 that sucks! average on NFA tracker is 155-160 and longest recently is 180. Hope this doesn’t keep going the other way had been trending shorter.
My brother called on his today. His is individual trust started June, checked cashed end of July.
They told him figure 9 months.
I agree individual seems to be running closer to 6-7 months based on recent feedback.
However, I don't think "individual trust" was a typo. I think he is referring to a trust with one person on it... in that case 9-12 months seems about right
That sounds encouraging. My first 2 cans were purchased at end of May with checks cashed end of June. If 9 months holds I could be seeing them in a month or so
Broke down and called the ATF. It was approved on the 2/12. Right at 175 days. Hopefully see it in the next week or two.

Submitted Form 4 individual paper, 4-24-17, moved after that date, causing an ATF paperwork hiccup in December, got stamp last week, 290 days.
Thunderbeast Ultra 7 6.5. It'll go nicely with the other TBac cans.

I have two in since April/May and you guys are killing me. Where's my cans? Fuck! At this rate, I'll get the one I submitted last month before these arrive. Frustrating.
Form 4 Trust for 3 cans. CC was charged Jun 10. Got the call today that all 3 are ready to go today.
Bought a KAC 762QDC and a TBAC Ultra 9, individual from 4, check cashed 7/17/17. Stamp in the SOT’s mailbox on 1/2/2018. A form 1 SanSwiss 551p was sent at the same time. Check cashed 7/23/17... still nothing.
Yep. Watching this thread is driving me nuts.
Form 4 trust. (NFA lawyers trust with amendment removing trustees leaving myself as originator. Noted this just in case that causes delays.)
Mailed 03/29/2017
Check cased 04/13/2017
Approval: TBD
Received: TBD
Seeing these form 4 trusts clearing from May 2017 is disheartening (good for them though). Going to give ATF a call once I hit 365 days. will update dates once I get some more info.

My dealer called about a month ago to check on them. Both have been sent to Virginia indicating both checks have cashed in Oklahoma City. I'll also have him check when we get to the 1 year mark.
What's the reason for all the different approval dates? I've seen them take 4 months all the way past a year. What is the reason for different times assuming all we're down on a form 4 individual?
Had a Brugger and Thomet can for a APC45 - check cashed 4/21 still nothing from dealer ...

My newest MG was just approved, it took 11 months & 2 days however the paperwork had an error that had to be investigated which delayed things, I'll be leaving in a few hours to go pick it up, YIPPEE!
The error had nothing to do with the new application, it was for a Type-99 LMG but the original 1968 amnesty paperwork stated that it was a "Sten Type" which really caused a stir at the NFA so they needed full photos showing the gun next to a tape measure verifying it's total length etc.

I am in the same boat - check cashed tax day last year, still no call ... but form 4 trust i filed 3 months prior were approved 5 months ago .. thought it was meant to go faster not slower

I'm not sure if I like it or not seeing it on my AMEX statement :

Two hits for cans. I'll update when the stamp comes. *tick-tock*

I'm still waiting on a TBAC Ultra 7 that cashed 1-1-17. Last time i called, it was still at the FBI awaiting background check. I'm guessing it got lost. I asked if they could call FBI to make sure they have it. The guy gave me phone number to NICS. I called it and and rang 25 times. No answering machine.
Invoice, date I paid my SOT for a TBAC 22TD, was 07/29/17. It took us a couple more days to get my amended trust & etc together, so fair to say I didn't finally get the paperwork sent to ATF before 08/03/17. Got a phone call yesterday morning - 03/12/18 - saying the stamp had just been delivered. 7-1/2 months - far better than I'd hoped for.

Form 4 received by NFA on 08/07/2017. I called NFA today & the lady says 9-12 months from the date received. Judging by the info posted above I’d think that it shouldn’t be long now.

Well, just got a request for correction. I submitted Form 4 trust 3/27/2017 with ammendment from NFA lawyers to remove responsible persons from my trust to cut down on the amount of passport photos/fingerprints I had to submit.
ATF says its a no go with that ammendment and I will need to submit corrections with fingerprints/photos for all RP's or an updated ammendment. I got ahold of NFALaywers and they are aware of this issue and already have a new updated ammendment that is acceptable to the ATF for removing RP's. I had a response from NFAlawyers within 10 mins of my query with the new corrected ammendment. So I will submit the corrected ammendment and see how much longer I get to wait.
*edit. Spoke on the phone with the ATF examiner. She was very nice, professional, and quite helpful. I was quite surprised at how nice she was. Made this unfortunate event not seem so daunting. It appears all I have to do is submit the corrected ammendment removing RP's from my trust. and then wait.
