Re: Form 4 wait time

I put the suppressor on my 20" barrel LTR that is 223. It was very quiet. My POI was 5" low and 1" left. On my 700P 308 with a 26" barrel it was noticeably louder and POI was 2" low and 1" right. I was not shooting subsonic ammo, but I am very impressed with the can. More range time to come.

Don't ever try to put a time stamp on when that tax stamp will show up! Sometimes they send them out ASAP sometimes they sit around for 7 or 8 days. Just dependent on the examiner. Just don't want you let down!

Re: Form 4 wait time

Hello all,

Not sure how to verify and I have done a cursory search and found nothing. I heard that there was a huge layoff at the NFA branch for the form 4 possibly causing some delays... Again I have not nor do not know how to verify. Has anyone heard of something similar?

I put in my form 4 in January, and is in a pending state since Febuary 3rd.

 

[Witch_Doctor]

Re: Form 4 wait time

Hadn't heard of lay-offs, in fact they beefed up the examiners, not that anyone would really notice. However the impending government shutdown will definitely affect wait times, unless they pass the continuing resolution.

 

[KYS]

Re: Form 4 wait time

Lets hope they can come up with a resolution quickly. The ATF/NFA branch brings in a good bit of money yearly with these tax stamps. It would be quite stupid to stop that income.

Because it would be stupid is EXACTLY why I think my wait will be much longer on my paperwork I sent in on Tuesday.

Well you can be the guinea pig and tell us how long it takes you now that we face this... you never know, if might not affect anything at all. They might stay working as usual. Fingers crossed

Re: Form 4 wait time

My last one cleared 13 weeks after they cashed my check. That was 1 month ago. We'll see.

 

[Short-bus]

Re: Form 4 wait time

*Sigh* And to think that I was getting excited that it might not be too much longer. I don't know how the ATF is going to be effected. They said the IRS is going to stop processing paper refunds, but that law enforcement agencies will still persist through a shutdown. The question is, is ATF NFA branch still considered law enforcement, and will it stay functioning.

I think that if it shuts down, it's only going to last a day. There'll be mayhem if it lasts too long. Think of all the people that will suddenly essentially be unemployed. If they stop paying the military, that's the real question on what'll happen. How far does a sense of duty go when there's no pay behind it to support your family back home?

All I know is.....i'm going to go and buy ammo.

Thanks KYS338,

Thats what I thought too, but it still hasn't cleared, think I will call Bryon at MJM and see if he can get BATF on the phone or email and see whats up.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Ya ... I think I am right on the bubble for getting my paperwork back ... so my luck would be for the Government to shut down for one day and then it would take the next month starting up again.

Well this sucks balls. I just called the NFA hotline and it said "due to the government shutdown, only limited essential personnel are available". I guess that means i'm not going to be getting my stamp anytime in the next several months. This fucking sucks.

Hoping for an easy time with this, this is my first NFA application. Dreading a possible 6 month wait!
**Update** Offered my examiner my NICS Unique personal identification number today. I was a victim of identity theft when I was 14 years old and hade my credit destroyed, and my background checks f'd up. Apparently, ATF sends your info to the FBI for the background check portion of it. Mine was denied by the FBI and sent back to my examiner. He is going to have to resend my info again but with my UPIN (this number makes my NICS background checks go super fast) so hopefully this doesn't add to the wait. I encourage anyone with a NICS UPIN to talk directly with your examiner as soon as it goes pending to avoid this crap.
*** Update *** Woohoo! Pending to approved in 2 1/2 weeks! Lamberger is the man. Guess it helped that the FBI background check gets f'd up for me cause it got me to the top of the stack. Mr. Lamberger is a super nice guy to deal with and was sympathetic to the extra hoops I had to jump through. We'll see how long it takes for me to get my stamp.
**final update** Stamp and suppressor received. I ended up waiting longer for my gunsmithing work then I did for my suppressor. I have a very lonely can sitting with no rifle. I'll post when it's all back together.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Form 4 just back yesterday. This was a bit different. I have several other NFA Stamps. I sent the form 4 in for an SBR back in October. Waited the normal 2.5 to 3 months with no reply. I dont call them, just my choice. CKA sent his SBR form 4 2 weeks after mine and his came back. I was patient and waited. Finally, David Whitson from Shark Suppressors called and said, the examiner at the ATF sent him a notice that my trust paperwork was lost. Well, its been 4 months now since I sent it in so when was it lost? I travel for work and didnt get back home to get another copy sent out for about a month. Finally got home and sent a new trust copy, waited 3 weeks and the stamp finally came yesterday. I know some people would have been hell bent but i guess shit happens right. Right about 6 months on this one. It all works out in the end. If this had been my first stamp, Id probably be pissed about it but after waiting 3 months each time before I try and be patient about it. Luckily the examiner didnt reject it and make me start completely over. She allowed us to send the new trust copy directly to her and she held my application and waited on it until I got back home. Thanks to Sandra Snook the examiner. I still have another SWR Trident Im waiting on,so hopefully it comes back on time.

From my understanding (from my Dealer) it will be delivered to the dealer. However I have heard in the past that they were delivered to the individual.

I would call your dealer and let him know ... it may be burried somewhere.
