FYI TO FFL/SOT's and transferees........
ATF is supposed to email both transferor (your dealer) and transferee (the buyer) when they approve an eForm 4. I've had four eForms get approved in the last month where this was not done.
A dealer can go to his ATF eForms account and view approved Form 4's. It will allow him to print out your eForm or save to his computer and email that .pdf to you.
So..........if its been more than eight months, you can call NFA Division and they will tell you the current status of your Form. If its "pending" it means its not approved, say Thanks and hang up. That clerk can't tell you anything else. Before you call you'll need the serial# of the firearm and the name of the transferee.
If it's "approved" and you never received the emailed .pdf, then contact your dealer. Only he can see the approved Form 4 in his eForms account.
If your Form 4 wait is on month three, don't be that guy and start calling ATF every week. That doesn't help, doesn't speed up the process and causes longer phone wait times.
