I try too.... But each time I look down my rifle (all outfitted with TBAC 30-BA brakes) I see a beautiful reminder.

Re: Form 4 wait time

I feel really sorry for whoever has that phone number since its the wrong area code. Should be 304-616-4500. That guy is going to be pissed. PG

Opps! Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I edited my original post to correct it.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

If you had googled the phone number it said ATF with a link to this thread. I called it even though in my head it sounded wrong. I bet that guy will be happy you changed it. Funny unless your the owner of the number getting 900 calls a day yikes. PG

I certainly don't recommend this approach. I did exactly that and after 7 months finally got the urge to call and it wasn't even in the system. A follow up with my dealer didn't reveal anything until I called again in a couple of weeks only to find that the pricks had never sent the paperwork in and never followed up on it. They have 'supposedly' resent the forms but after a couple of weeks I'm still not seeing that the check has cashed. I'm certain after this I will never purchase anything that requires a form 4 again and certainly won't be spending any more money at this dealer.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

What's up with our Michigan examiner? Is no one from Michigan reporting data to the NFA tracker? There is nothing listed as papproved in Michigan for months.

I know I have seen posts from people who have recently recv'd thier stamp but the NFA spreadsheet is depressing when sorting by state.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Who knows with MI. I took my form 4 almost 7 weeks to go pending after I sent it in the first week of Feb.

Re: Form 4 wait time

nothing new until 6/19/12 and it went to problem pending status.
Paperwork sent back and approved on 07/17/12, stamp received on 07/23/12, picked up the Shark on 07/24/12.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: yfzjen</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Check cashed on 1/10/12
1/23/12 it went pending.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: yfzjen</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The wait now begins for me. Dealer signed on 12/31/11, fingerprints and photos on 1/2/12, Chief of police signature on 1/3/12, and dropped in the mail for its journey 1/4/12. Dealer states roughly 4-5 months is the wait he's been seeing. So i'm hoping to have before the scorching Texas summer heat kicks in.</div></div> </div></div>

Same result on 2 of mine in same time period. (6wks to pend) TEXAS , TRUST

=> YHM 30 CAL
PURCHASED 03/12/12
PAPERWORK/ DEALER GLITCH 06/12/12
PENDING 07/06/12

=> 22SPARROW
PURCHASED 05/16/12
PENDING 07/06/12

So about a full year wait, and both cans pending the same day is suspicious of either weird coincidence or an up coming cluster fuck.
Fwiw I called BATFE, and they estimated late January
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

I just got an email today from the dealer that it FINALLY came back. I paid for it and sent it in around the beginning of January. I'll go pick up my SDN-6 this weekend and try it out and get back to 'ya!

On another note, I'll be filling out the forms for the integral Mk3 my wife (and I!) want in hopes of getting it by next January.

That wait is just ridiculous. Just like the military, just like the VA (well, VA works in terms of years or even decades). Just imagine what would happen if they were, uh, NOT efficient!

edit:

So Mrs. Snook was the official, and it took almost six months to the day for it to come back.

The SDN-6 shoots nice, real nice on the .300BLK with subs. The main reason I got it. It sure reduces the blast on the M4, it has that Brakeout which is kind of loud without the suppressor, to the point you just get the sonic crack for the most part. For the size, it works amazingly well. The baffle stack is only like 3".

Downside? You have to lap the mounts individually to fit the suppressor, unless you luck out and get one that fits right away. I have four, and two are almost there, one is a good ways from latching, and one locks on normal with virtually no discernable movement.

I've since fixed one, the tack driving 6.5G, and it locks up super tight, which is a relief. My next ones will be an integral Mk3 and thread on for a Barrett MRAD most likely. Seems this SDN-6 works really well for everything smaller --provided it fits the mounts.

If you are reading this and thinking about an SDN-6, wait and get the SR5 or 7 or whatever they call it and go with the 90t mounts instead. 3rd times usually the charm.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Just got word mine is now approved and waiting for me to pick up.

7 months?! Crap... my dealer finally got mine in today after waiting 6 months between the transfer from Surefire to M3 to finally him. So I'm looking at next February if WA is taking 7 months...
