Suppressors Status on form 4 return

[Surgeon_Shooter]

I have seen people say that thier form 4 is pending but how do they know that? Is there a number I can call to find out the status? I sent it off about a month or so ago so I know they have it by now. Thanks in advance.

Have your SN # ready
Keep in mind that it has taken at a minimum a month to go pending.
Around 60-90 for approval after that.

You will be lucky to be approved by end of Nov. I submitted June 1 Pending July 10 and still pending as of last week. Also using a trust.

Re: Status on form 4 return

I figured that it would take until Christmas or so because everything else has went slow with it so far. AAC took 5 months to get my cyclone to my dealer before I could start my paperwork! That's horrible! Also, how well does a 7.62 can work on a 5.56 rifle? Is it worth getting another one in 5.56?

Re: Status on form 4 return

Trusts, take about 1 month longer than a sign off, an lots of trusts are now being kicked back for one reason or the other. Guess I've been lucky, every CLEO has signed for me w/o issue. I had to state my case many years ago in Fl. but I got it signed there after.

Just had two more Form 1's signed, it took longer to drive (10 min) to the S/O than to due the prints an him to sign off. Was there about an 1 hr after that, as he wanted to talk about lots of things. BATF-E an LE does not bit. Talk to them, you'll find many are shooters as well, plus you may have something they may need at so point in time. It can work both ways, an they know that as well.

Some guys quit/give up a take the easy route.

It varies. My form 4 earlier this year took 6 weeks and 2 days from pending to approved.

My current form 4 is right at 6 weeks, so I'll call in a week to check on it.

Re: Status on form 4 return

Re: Status on form 4 return

I have to stop looking at these "pending" threads. Just gets me worked up on the two Form 1s and two Forms 4s I've had sitting for three months. About to submit a couple more Form 1s just because it takes so long. Guess I'll have those cans by next spring...

Re: Status on form 4 return

Well I called the gut to find out what the status was, man that dude was a dick! It's hard to keep my mouth shut when someone is being an ass like that but I had to. I miss read the post above, I thought it said social security number, and it's the serial number of the weapon or item. My bad, any how I hope that guys asshole grows shut!

LOL....I've always gotten the nicest people on the phones. I always wonder how they can take calls like ours all day and stay so cheery!!

You must have drawn the short straw today.

 

[Surgeon_Shooter]

Re: Status on form 4 return

I don't think they let me draw a straw. I think he was sittin there and said to a co worker " hey watch this I'm gonna talk to this next guy that calls like he's a retard" and then I called! Hahahaha it's funny now but wasn't this morning.

No it wasnt you, thats just how he is. I dont call very offten because its just makes it feel longer. One time I called and he answered and the guy who was driving the car I was in had his door open and the door open chime was going. He said "Sounds like you need to close your door Sir.", I said yeah its not my door. He said "Well you need to close his door or call me back" Real nice, I have a hard time being a dick back because I dont want him to mess with my forms.

Re: Status on form 4 return

My total time was 8 weeks and 1 day from check cashed to approved. Everyone at NFA I talked to was super nice. I did mine on trust and was surprised how easy and fast it was.

 

[Short-Fuze]

Re: Status on form 4 return

Congrats on the M4-2000 Memo. Mine has been pending since 31 June and still waiting. Hopefully I will get it by my birthday which is in October.

Re: Status on form 4 return

Well I called again ad that guy is still an asshole, that's about the only thing I found out!

 

[Red_SC]

Re: Status on form 4 return

So, I finally called the ATF about my can. I sent in the paperwork on April 17, and the check cleared the bank on April 28. The ATF guy just said the paperwork was approved on July 29! He said he "can't imagine that I wouldn't have it by now."


I just figured the ATF was dragging. Now, I don't know??? I talked to my dealer last week about another transfer, he didn't say anything about the transfer in progress.

LOL....I always get sweet ladies answering the phone, are you sure you're calling the right number?

 

[Red_SC]

Re: Status on form 4 return

Called my dealer, he hasn't seen the paperwork. So, I have to request an additional copy from the ATF, wonder how long that will take.

FWIW, the first time I called, the guy was pretty curt to start off with. I was polite to him, and he was friendly after a minute or two. Second call was a lady, she was friendly the whole time. Not sure what to tell you, SS!

Re: Status on form 4 return

Re: Status on form 4 return

I must also be a glutton for punishment. I sent off paperwork on another 22LR can (YHM Mite) today. I should have my head examined.

Re: Status on form 4 return

Mailed off two more today.

Agreed, it depends on who your examiner is. My Form 1 mailed in early April was back in my hands in less than 3 months. Some people have been waiting for 6 months and maybe more.

+1 Completely not true. The last I heard, individual transfers were taking longer because the fingerprint cards get sent to the FBI for approval and the FBI was backlogged with processing the fingerprint cards. Trusts don't have fingerprint cards to send to the FBI, and they don't have CLEO sign-offs to get etc. I can't see how a trust would take longer. All the examiner does with the trust is check that grantor, trustees, and beneficiaries to make sure there aren't any problems etc.

Re: Status on form 4 return

Hopefully I'll be submitting paperwork for an AAC Element in a few weeks. I've never waited more than eight or nine weeks in the past, but some of these wait times have me realizing I need to get comfortable with waiting considerably longer this time.

FWIW - I just spoke to my examiner on an unrelated subject and she confirmed that they are still doing them in house, they only get sent out if the prints are questionable or a flag is raised. - Just what I was told
