I thought I was going too far with my second e-file this year. That's quite the stack cans there.
I officially hit the 1 year mark today since the check was cashed.........ridiculous
It’s very stupid. But that is why they say, buy them and just forget about them!After a 33 minute wait on the phone, I found out my 2 Sandman-S cans are both still pending (4/9 & 5/10 cash dates)... She looked and said that they still haven't even been assigned to an examiner. WTF! She said she wouldn't start worrying until 12-13 months. This is STUPID! How are some people already getting their stamps back in large batches, including some paper Form 4's from as recent as a few months ago, and mine have been sitting for almost a year and STILL not assigned to anyone!
Fricken finally....First can.

4 paper forms were submitted 9/1/21 all were cashed on 9/5/21. All are pending.
E-file submitted 1/21/22 and it’s pending as of today. So the waiting game continues.
All were done through Silencer Shop.

Hello my friend....I'm happy for you...really.... but it just continues to piss me off that those of us who submitted paper forms, because e-file was not a thing, are still sucking wind a year later in most cases.
And I am not convinced about the rational offered from, what sounds to me like, apologists for the ATF. I don't think they have any excuse for their abysmal performance and their crap could only be gotten away with in the Government where they don't have to care (and don't)
There is zero justification (IMO) for the ATF to push later filings thru to acceptence (no matter the media of the submittal) before clearing older filings (no matter the media of the submittal).
Its my view and sticking with it. LOL
But I hope to see it on your rifle in Sep when we are up your way again for round 2 of the the clinic. You will be there this time, right? No running off with wifey again? hahahaha ;-)
Cheers
the last person who asked about form 4 wait times he was only 21 when he started waiting such a sad story dead at 91 and was never approved .
I hear you man. A couple of my buddies are several months in with no recourse to speed it up. They should've converted everything to electronic submission or gotten more people on to work on paper forms but that would be too obvious for the ATF.
And yes sir I will definitely be there this time. I laid out my schedule for September with her last month lol. As long as I'm there for our first anniversary, I'm a free man after. Looking forward to finally meeting in person.
I too am truly looking forward to it. Be grand to put a face to the name. And yes, you best show up for your first wedding anniversary! haha
Cheers

You might want to check your status, I just called and was informed that I was approved on Feb.15th. Since yours was close to mine...
My dealer hasn't received the stamp yet though, but should be soon.
Edit: Approved Feb. 25th, picked up today.

Called about 3 weeks ago at essentially a year to the date since check cashed and still pending. Called again today, on hold for 38 minutes, and still pending. Coming up on a year and a month.....This is bullshit

That is BS. My check cashed 5 days after yours and got approved in Feb 2022.

Blows my mind how different the wait times are. This is the longest one I have ever had, most have averaged 5-7 months.

It's already well-used (as you can see) and I just got to bring it home today...
My local SOT is also a machine gun range with private memberships, so we get conjugal visits with them while waiting, and I go up there almost every weekend, so, it's been getting used regularly for a year now.

Yeps, for $15 a set. Have done it twice for other applications.
I think I misunderstood you, sorry. They will send you paper copies of your prints on file in the correct format for other NFA items, stamps, etc. I don’t know about getting a digital copy out of them. That will probably take a call to find out.
Ok. I called and was on hold for over an hour and I finally had to go. I will try again. How do you request a paper copy?
Ok, I didn't see that on the mobile site but I will look on my computer and see. Thanks

Thanks. I looked but I guess I'm just dumb. I went ahead and did the ink at my buddies already anyway. The digital ones would have helped but the paper ones don't slow down a efile form 4 at all so, it doesn't really matter. I will know for next time now though.

For a fee. Yes. It’s convenient and they ship fast. Otherwise you can do it at a local sheriffs office even roll your own…
Yeah I've done it at my local police 2 times now but my buddy is a Smith and manufacturer and he made the suppressor I'm getting so I just did ink prints at his place. It just would have been easier to get digital copies to send in and have on hand for next time. It's no biggie though.
