Suppressors Got a letter from ATF today...

[aubie515]

This is only my second time using my trust for NFA. AFT wanted me to send in Schedule B/C for my trust, so I called them today. I spoke to Ashley, who was the one that sent the letter to me. She said because the ATF hired the examiner staff that the ATF is reviewing trust more, so the Schedule B/C need to be sent to complete the process. It's funny because when I SBS my Saige in 2008, this was not required. Ashley was easy to deal with and she said I could just email her the attachements. I stated that there isn't anything listed on the Schedule B/C and she said that's ok and to send it in....I suppose this is government at it's best.

What is alarming is that she told me she's two months ahead with paperwork of the examiner. It appears that I"ll be waiting til November/December til I get my TBAC. These damn wait times are getting longer and longer. My first can took three weeks...my SBS in 2008 took 3 months and I felt that took forever. This one is taking the cake.

I don't think my trust has a b/c. I'll have to check. So I guess it was sent to YOU or your SOT? Or is that you as well?

Without getting political, search the AP newswire for today. It has a story in it that may explain a lot about what you're being asked to do.

I know one thing, I had my osprey approved per ATF on the 5th of August and the stamp still isn't at my dealer. I don't think it takes 25 days to mail something from WV to MD, but ATF says they allow 30 days. Told me to call back then.

[MENTION=83605]Sixfivesavage[/MENTION] Mine took 30 days to get from the ATF to my dealers door. 30 days on the dot.

60 days to get approved from the day I mailed it, and then 30 days to get to my door.

The letter was sent directly to me. I sent Ashley the Schedule B/C and she confirmed that she did receive it. I'm hoping no other delays. We are all waiting long enough.

Yeah, seems to be a huge problem. My SOT told me that the ATF is in talks of starting doing background checks on the trustees of the trust. It'll be much like the process of going through you Chief Law Enforcement Officer minus his signature. If they do, get ready for longer waits. What I don't understand is that if you are a Stamp Collector, like myself, you'd think that processing your paperwork wouldn't be as long as somebody's that is a first timer. Bureaucrats!

By the way, I've been getting several letter from the ATF stating that I need to provide this or redo that. On thing that I use to do that they don't want done anymore is to put multi calibers on my Form 1's. I contacted the ATF and was told to provide a memo stating the other calibers (and barrel lengths) with my paperwork. Anyway......

I have a call in to my lawyer about this. At the moment I haven't heard back, and it seems nobody knows what he's talking about, including the ATF. I don't mind getting pictures/fingerprints per trustee/beneficiary if I only have to do it once and it's a shall do type of thing (I don't have to beg for it). These items already get checked, they're ran on a 4473 or applicable form anyway. But whatever. They need to get a handle on tax paying, hoop jumping individuals like me who wait 6 months for a suppressor or AOW just to store it and handle it properly.

Sure this WON'T be speeding things up, ESPECIALLY if you have a trust. BTW, it took me 6 months, that's the average I hear. If you got it in 3 weeks and then 3 months, cool your jets, you're ahead of the rest of us here and perhaps luckier as well!

Anyway, I'm waiting to hear back from my lawyer as to what to do next... I have a suppressor and an integral .22 coming up and I'd like for 'em to go smooth. I'll post back what he says in this forum to do, though I'll likely start a new thread, something like "new trust shit" or something perhaps more eloquent.

Please do let us know.

What I'm currently waiting on is a AAC MK13 SD. I got a good deal from www.silencershop.com. Didn't know this but Suppressors can be mailed directly to you once they clear in Texas.
