Suppressors Electronic Form 4 Wait Times

#201
My guess is they are patching the current system so they don't have to reboot every hour due to high volumes of submissions. I'd bet the system will be back up and running within 30-days.

I got thru to the NFA on Friday. Mine went pending on 2-21 and I was told August. Didn't write down the guy's name, but he said 6 months at this time. When mine was filed it was a 4 month wait. I was really looking forward to June. Oh well.

Those have to be paper form 4s. Also you should get that November pending by end of May based on current trends.

Form 1, or 4?

Your close, but it's not trickling out in order. Assumptions are that examiners are playing spin the bottle on batches of eforms, and each form is from a different state. Yours may be sitting on the desk of a new assistant ( they comb slow to keep their jobs ).

Paper forms are catching up.

My socom762-rc went pending Nov. 9th and arrived at dealer 5/2.

A little over 6.5 months. It will be interesting to see where the trend levels off at. I've only e-filed one item (still pending), but if the wait isn't much longer I'm probably go back to paper (I like having an actual stamp instead of a printed out pdf and the site will have to get a LOT better once it even comes back online again for form 3s and 4s.

I'm about to have my first form 4 submitted, generally speaking what do you all think I should do?

Wait to efile or paper submit?

Thanks!

Paper wait times are dropping, and there's no ETA for Form 4s to be available through eFile again. Worse for eFiling, Forms 3 and 4 will be the last ones to be available again.

I'd go paper.

One of my shooting partners E Filed on a trust for a 30 cal can just at 7 weeks ago. He phoned me last night on his way to pick it up. Figured he was jacking with me but he has it in hand.
 
#226
Damn I feel like as soon as I file eform 4s are gonna come back. I got an email from Capitol armory saying they believe it's going to be a long time because they think they're going to get a new efile system to handle form 4s, rather than just fixing the current system, but then again that email is a month old. I don't know what to think

I texted him to snap a photo.

EDIT: Photo on hold as he is on the road for the next couple days.

EDIT: Guess it was over 7 weeks. (52 days)

I would paper file. They are coming in faster, there is no ETA for form 1/4s to come back, and biggest of all, you can correct a paper form. You get denied on efile and 99% of the time you are at the back of the line again. With the difference being two months or so between paper and electronic I feel better about paper. Plus you get a cool stamp to show off!

I'm in the same dilemma. I spoke to a dealer today who stated he was told form 1's should be up by next week.

I just don't want to paper file then wait close to a year like a lot of people. So frustrating.


Who is John Galt?

Just curious, what state are you from? Seems like everyone posting that they are receiving theirs are from Texas...
Click to expand...

Fixed it. I'm in Va.

Yeah, Ive seen where Tx had 150 approvals one day for silencer shop.
November and December have been true a testimony on the 41p concerns. Their really are a ton of submittals leading up to dec9
Deadline for comments.
 
#238
Also - is there any issue with a place like Silencershop shipping you the item once the ATF issues the tax stamp? (in state) Or do you have to pick it up in person?
 
#239
If you're also in Texas, they can mail it to you. Once your stamp clears, they mail you a 4473 which you fill out and mail back to them. Once they have the 4473, they can mail the suppressor to your door.

Like vere said, plus there's a 7 day delay after your 4473 returns to them while they NOTIFY your county Sherrif. No, I'm not making that up.

I'd submit a paper form now, and just bite on a stick of wood.

Electronic Form 4 Wait Times

I had a form 4 filed on 12-19-13 and was approved 05-19-14 (5 months to the day)
I also submitted a form 1 on 02-23-14 under the same trust and it was approved within minutes of the first one. I guess they are grouping them together (which makes sense). That means the form 1 was back in less than 3 months! (but i'm sure it is only because it was grouped with another one of my applications)

If they were to group them it would sure give me motivation to slide another in on the coat tails of one 4 months in!

But I guess eforms would have to come back first...
