Re: Form 4 wait time
They are assigned areas. Keep in mind it changes. They are also reassinged work depending on work load.
My last can had 3 different examiners during the pending status.

Re: Form 4 wait time
Just wondering, out loud, if the examiners priority is for their respective, assigned states and then when they've cleared them out, they move on to others . . .
. . . I know, the government, pure speculation!

Re: Form 4 wait time
Depending the states they are assigned, yes it can slow them down because of work load. Other examiners help them out. They are also being assigned assistants to help them clear the massive backlog and speed things up. I read an NFA bulletin email that said their goal was to have the wait times down to "one month door to door" and that would allow them to stay caught up at that point. Let's hope that comes true. In July they have a hearing before a Congressional board to explain why they are going to slow.

You could write to your local senator or congress person. Whoever favors guns more. Or call their offices. Sometimes they can get things moving if they sit on the right board.

Re: Form 4 wait time
Got mine back right about 6 months. Mailed on Nov. 26 and stamp received May 31 for a form 1 project. I don't track the check cashed, pending, etc. as I knew it would be a long wait anyway.

Its on a trust , it was sent out in march. As bonehead as it sounds out of the 2 checks sent (dealers and 200 tax stamp) he sent the wrong one to the atf. its being corrected, but cost me 3 extra months of wait.

Re: Form 4 wait time
My dealer here in OKC really thinks there is something fishy going on. Wait times have gone from 4 to 6 months+ and he hasn't seen nor heard of a major buying influx. Dealer to dealer transfers went from 2-3 weeks to 2 months on NFA (post sample) guns. And when he calls to check on stamps the examiner can tell him the week he will receive them back, even if it's 3 months down the road.
He thinks they are sitting on them to discourage others from buying. Given F&F, it really isn't a stretch in my mind.

assuming you are correct, which may be part of the larger picture going on here, i think it would be prudent to contact some elected officials about these issues. what committee in the House or the Senate would ATF and NFA Branch have to answer to? House Judiciary committee since ATF falls under the Justice Department? or Senate Judiciary committee?
maybe the committee on oversight and government reform?

While all of that is a possibility. I think its a bit embellished on. Why would the government want to piss off the crowd that is basically paying for nothing. A little green stamp that is $200.00! They are one of two gov entities that MAKE money. I would want to work as fast as possible for the customers that are wiling to pay that and wait 6 weeks let alone 6 months.
This will all change in July.... after their hearing with congress, we shall see their philosophy change.

Re: Form 4 wait time
I agree that it would make sense to move things along so can get the green. But this is our government. The use of sound financial principles are not in it's MO, operating on the whims of a particular administration's political agenda is. Fuck them, will still wait! But....would be nice if I could get the 30 p-1 I just ordered before Christmas!

i can understand why he suspects this, but i will point out my anecdotal evidence is a little bit contrary. I have had them tell me one more month on the phone only to have stamp approved a couple days later. Things are fucked up, no doubt about it. I don't actually think atf is doing this on purpose. The atf is hanging by a thread as it is. Lots of political will to abolish them. Lots of other alphabet organizations would benefit from the absorption of atf funding and power. Just some thoughts.

Re: Form 4 wait time
For those in GA. I was at the local class 3 dealer (Blankenship Custom Firearms) and he received some form 4 back today. The trend he has been seeing is they are approving one month at a time and sending all forms out at the end of the month. Example of the one I seen come back today. I have a pending date of 13 Dec 11 so I am hoping next month within the first or so I should have my stamp.

Re: Form 4 wait time
leveling out? i am no statistician, however there is a steady increase of wait time, it looks to be a 25-305 increase in the last year alone

Re: Form 4 wait time
What happened in June 2011 that they all started being done at the same time instead being scattered about?
Trends haven't been going in the right direction. I watch the NFA Tracker summary at http://www.randominfo.net/NFA/WaitTimeTrend.php

Statisticaly speaking, a curve, or trend, like that can only be intentionally created given the nature of the process.

I was in civil service for 5 years after retiring from the US Army.
Think "mandatory training." CO2 (Concern for Others), "Diversity Training" (aka deconstructing christianity and constitutional law classes using Hegelian Dialectic/Marxist doctrinal training methodology), Fire Safety training, Occupational Health and Safety briefings and all the other crap that takes up time out of an 8 hour day and there's no overtime in a 40 hour week per federal labor law.
Was this going on BEFORE? Undoubtedly, but maybe not enforced at all levels in all agencies in every administration. Times got out of hand during the Clinton era as well (6 to 12 months was normal), it only got into the 4-6 week period during George W Bush's reign. Not sure about Reagan, et al.
