Maybe an optimistic observation, but I have noticed that Form 3 app's have gone from as long as 2 months to a short as 2 days from April to now. Also, I have noticed July app's getting stamps. It appears that times are shrinking not getting longer. I also know of a recent 90 day approval, which is a major improvement over 5+ months. </div></div>

Mine went pending 3 months ago, give or take a day.

Not holding my breath. </div></div>
Me either, I have one still pending from April! WTF??? Four more from July.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Wow, I'm really dismayed to find this thread. I've bought two suppressors in the past (years ago) and the longest it took was 6 weeks.

I just submitted an F4 on another can with the expectation of getting it before Thanksgiving, but now it looks like I'm in for a several month wait?

Re: Form 4 wait time

Anyone have any experience with examiner Jason Frushour? He has my form 4 pending since 7/15/11.

Hey buddy I hate to tell you this but there are now a bunch of July pendings getting stamps. You need to call in and find out what is going on. Odds are you have a problem, or your stamp was lost in mail, or worse yet sitting on your dealers desk.

 

[billybronco]

Re: Form 4 wait time

Indeed.

I've had one pending w/ him since 7/8.

I'm officially at 109 days pending. This is insane.

 

[Malibumick]

Re: Form 4 wait time

I called about mine today and they told me there was a problem with my finger print card??? Mine went pending June 15th and the finger print card issue was on Oct 14. Now what.

 

[glocksig40]

Re: Form 4 wait time

You will receive a written notice thru your dealer that there is an issue. The issue will be listed on the form they send. You provide them with the new fingerprint card and send it back directly to the examiner with the form they send. It wont start the process over again. It is just one of the items they check off. Dont sweat it yet. They lost the copy of my trust before and they sent the form with the issue. I made another copy of the trust and sent directly to my examiner (they will give you the mailing info). 2 weeks later I had my stamp. If you dont hear from your dealer about the fingerprint card after waiting a while, call the dealer. If he cant help, call the examiner. This type thing is common. No worries.

My five year old keeps track of time by "sleeps". Example: How many sleeps until my birthday? Or how many sleeps until I get my fucking silencer? Answer: about 100 give or take.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Figured id share this info with u all:
I Spoke to NFA today they said they are into the mid July pending date forms now. They also are now advising 4 to 5 months delay between now instead of the old 3 month typical wait due to large volume and backlog.

Re: Form 4 wait time

My form 4s took 97 days and form 1s took 89 days mailing to receiving. I utilized a trust.

Re: Form 4 wait time

just spoke with Robin....she said that "they'll be getting into July in the next week or so."

clearly, they're modifying responses based on who calls and when that individuals form(s) went pending.

unbelievable....i can't say that i'm surprised.

this is utter nonsense....i'm DYING here.

[glocksig40]

Re: Form 4 wait time

Remember the holidays are coming. The end of the year all the govenment employees will be burning off vacation time and comp time if they have it too. Last year about November, I had a Form 4 waiting. It was the longest waiting time Ive experienced yet. It took several weeks longer than normal on that stamp. I currently have one waiting I sent in August so Im expecting a long wait thru the holidays and end of year.

Yes, he is my examiner for a form 4 I have pending since 7/15/11. No, it is not approved yet. Yes, I mean "ever". Either they re-assigned him to our area and no forms have come in from him since he was reassigned, or he is new and no forms have come in from him yet. Either way, it doesn't look good.

 

[bronzepig]

Re: Form 4 wait time

Jason has done 10 suppressors and 2 sbrs for me all were done in approx 112 d from mail in (not pending) to receipt. He was helpful on the phone as I have talked with him several times when the dealer didn't do all of the paper work. He has been one of the faster examiners, things have slowed down due to change over. I suspect this will pick back up slowly over time. I wished I still had Jason!

 

[3DHUSKER]

Re: Form 4 wait time

I just want my Suppressor and I want it NOW. I hope Jason is knocking it out for me.

 

[cowdoc73]

Re: Form 4 wait time

Jason is ok in my book. I picked up my TBAC 338p-1 today. It went pending on 6-23-11 and got approved on 10-27-11.

Your dealer is wrong. They are processed in the order that they are received. One method is not fasther than the other.

Re: Form 4 wait time

I called today and got the pat answer - the average is five months. And, since I just finished my third month waiting and starting my fourth, I was really hoping for four months - we shall see. Mine is pending as of 28 July.
