Suppressors Form 4 wait time

[karb]

Re: Form 4 wait time

RIght, Tracker -was - saying every 5 days would shave a day off. Look closer on that graph, and scroll down. It appears that the update was in sept., so perhaps the wait time computer is still in conjunction with sept?. I have noticed some May -check cashed- were starting to come up on approval.

This thread has gotten quite though.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Yeah, I check this thread about once a day, and it has slowed down over the last 2 weeks.

I called 2 days ago to check on my 5320.20 and Form 4. I've spoken to some down right clueless secretarys and there is one who seems to know her junk. I spoke with the knowledgable one 2 days ago, and she said my forms are on the exainer's desk to be signed that it wouldn't be much longer.
Form 4 went pending 6/6/12
Form 5320.20 went pending 10/10/12

Hopefully, I have them both in hand in about 2 weeks.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Great thread and much appreciated. First time class 3 purchase here, and the paperwork just went off today. Nice to see the process moving, but this seems to be a snail's pace event. Now, to just sit back and wait....

Re: Form 4 wait time

Their "assistants" must be useless. The excuse of "training" causing delays is now mute given the time that's elapsed, and if take more than a few months to train someone then there's an issue with the trainer and the trainee.

Mine went pending 6/6/12. You have already received an error letter, re-submitted, and it's approved. Called NFA Branch to check, mine is still pending.

Add to this a slow down over the last few weeks, and something is up.

I don't know, if I had the money i'd be buying. It don't seem like the approval time is getting any shorter.

[Killer Spade 13]

Re: Form 4 wait time

Well, saw where one had gone from "pending" to delivered in about 5 months from when it went pending.

Won't get my hopes up.

Mine went pending June 25th.

Figure it'll get here December 20th or 21st or something like that.

Just in time for the end of the world so that I'll be able to shoot zombies in silence.

Just take it as a great Christmas present to myself.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Apparently the NFA branch is shut down due to the hurricane. I called to check on one and got a recording stating to call back after the hurricane. Praying that everyone up there is safe.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Is calling the only way to find out if you're at pending status or is there a website?

Well, mine went pending June 24th. So now I think I'm just waiting on a 45 day count down. Might make a nice Christmas present.

God willing, the creek don't rise, and New York doesn't have another hurricane.

Re: Form 4 wait time

What ever. The range is set up.

I'll shoot a cold bore shot with my brake on, I'll let the barrel cool, I'll attach the suppressor and take a cold bore shot and all will be right with the world.

All good things take time.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Still seeing 6 months from check cashed. I'm curious to know if they respond with a
"wiggle room" answer. This way your not calling again at 5 weeks, cause with "Mary's"
Answer, you'll be surprised when the dealer calls with the stamp.
