Form 4 Wait.jpg
 
For all of y'all hating on the eforms approvals, I got denied because somehow after my form-4 went from "US Citizen" on SS signed documents, to a "NON-US Citizen" when it went into the ATF system.

I'm going to cry in a corner now :ROFLMAO:
Sad part is you will get the error fixed and approved before many of us paper people get approved
 
Good morning all, I have had a paper trust for my NFA items for several years and occasionally follow this thread.
My question is this, can I somehow E-file for “new items” and still use my original paper trust? My intent is to continue to keep any new items conveniently inclusive with the years old trust. Any input is greatly appreciated. TIA

yes, you'll just file as a trust, same process as normal F4, you'll just need to provide any supporting documents and responsible party prints in electronic format instead of physical.

Got good news today, and this has been a good week!
Efile Dead Air Nomad LT: certified 19 January
Approved 8 April

2 cans paper Form 4's submitted in July and check cashed 14 July. Got the stamps today at the dealer.

1 can submitted in July and Check cashed in August. Dealer called and this one came in with the other 2. Looks like I got batch approved when my Efile went through.

This is the kind of shit that makes me just fucking hate the ATF

I'm very glad that @AFGWS got his cans.

But while his paper forms took 9 months, there are others who are over a year.

How the fuck can the ATF not just do first in first out.....FFS. It ain't that hard.
 
Just called and checked on my 5th and final paper Form 4... Should be coming back anytime now... The next 2 will be eForms.

Form 4 paper
submitted 5/3/21
received 5/11/21
ck cashed 5/12/21
today 4/14/22 still pending. 50 minute wait time

Looks like I could have just waited a year and went efile and got them sooner

Glad you guys are getting yours efile back quickly but for every 5 minutes and examiner spends approving an efile.........how bout spending it on getting the paper forms out.

Getting harder to grin and bear it. :mad::mad::mad:

Picked up my Dead Air Mask HD today.

Now you can have a laugh at my expense. Next one in line for me was purchased 9/7/21 (Silencer Shop single shot trust), check cashed 11/9/21. As of 4/7/22 - still pending.
Maybe I'll get it before I die. :cry:

Crazy… I remember my first one came back in 3 months

Submitted a F4 back in August , guess we’ll see how long it takes

Might have to buy something else via eform to cheer myself up in the meantime
 
Good news here. Purchased a .300blk SBR from Vance Outdoors 10/21, stamp came in yesterday. Purchased a sparrow .22 from another dealer same day, it's stamp came in yesterday as well. Just shy of 6 months. Individual.
 
I have a F/A waiting on a stamp, that's been 8.5 months. Maybe it'll be in this batch. Prior to this (2019), the last ones were 6mos, prior 10 months.
I called the ATF a few weeks back and they said "current is about 8 months."
 
^thats the shit that chaps my ass, how the hell did you get a 6 month wait? An FFL at a range I went to last weekend mentioned that he can have them turned around in 10-11 months, is that possible from an FFL??
Chaps my ass too. That and the stuff about it depending which examiner's desk full of folders it sits on is utter BS too.

Apparently those assholes at the ATF have not learned the meaning of "first in, first out" and WTF are they doing in a pile on an examiner's desk. This ain't hard, have ONE FUCKING PILE IN CHRONO ORDER RECEIVED and when an examiner is ready for another file, they just take the one on top.

Same as my attitude about those jerk-offs pushing e-files out before they have worked off their incredibly incompetent back log of paper forms.

The ATF says all you need to know about government

My purchase was Nov. 30 and thank god they held it in prep for efile. So it was in limbo until appx Jan. 19 when my SS account notified "ready to certify, contact your dealer". According to SS youtube I think last week were the first certifications. Mine also done on Fri. 21, so we'll see how close to 90 days we get.
E-files notification yesterday Approved-- 90 days on the mark!!!
