Any recent approvals?

Just be glad your dealer didn't run another NICS check on you.....there are some that do. They don't bother reading Question 28.

 

Yeah, I got delayed when I had to fill out another 4473 to pick the can up after being approved.

I was pretty confused why it needed done again.

But I had already left (disheartedly) before looking into it and realizing it was actually unnecessary.

But by the time I had an opportunity to swing by again it had cleared at least.

 

I wonder if anyone was denied. I can't imagine what I'd do if that happened to me.

 

He may be correct....as to state law.

 

It would be a circus.
ATF runs an FBI NICS check prior to approval and issuance of the tax stamp.
If your state or locality has their own law that has additional requirements, those must be met as well.

It would make for an epic lawsuit. ATF says the transferee passed their NICS, Colorado says they didn't. Hilarity will ensue.

 

Form4 / paper - checks cashed on 10/18/21 and stamps received this past week.

 

Tax Stamp Tuesday!!!!!!
Received eight approved paper Form 4's today.
Oldest was submitted September 5, 2021.
Newest December 12, 2021.

 

I like that June one!!! I have an eform early June and early July.

 

This mornings email included two approved eForm 4's certified 3/16/2022. Eight months.

A year ago, the average processing time for paper Form 4's was.................eight months.

 

Got an approval email today (11/17) on my eform 1 sbr that I filed on 9/22/22.

 

Coworker just got his can approved yesterday, paper form 4, individual. I was with him when he bought and filed Dec 2, 2021.

 

EForm 1 approval. Submitted 10/22 approved 11/22. I didn't see the approval email. Is there a way to get a physical copy of the tax stamp.

 

This mornings email included an approved eForm 4 certified 3/28/2022.

 

Just curious if you still have paper Form 4s still pending? Thanks

 

Mid-March 2022 E-Form, Trust and Individual purchases showed up 1-2 weeks ago.

 

I have three paper F4's still pending from October 2021.
After that its all eForms.

 

Thanks.Do you think the wait times will begin to get shorter anytime soon?

 

Only if people stop buying silencers.

Every time a silencer manufacturer offers a free tax stamp, a gift card or a "buy one, get one free" or other promotion I see an uptick in sales. The old Black Friday has become Black Novemberdecember. And heck, last year just the announcement that eForm 4's were back caused a wave of sales.

More sales=more Form 4's=increased processing times.

While I've not been shy of saying the ATF eForms system is hot garbage, the blame for slow processing is not entirely on ATF. The FBI bears equal blame in their processing of NFA background checks. Unlike Title I firearms that can be transferred after the delay period expires, NFA firearms require a proceed. Those NFA checks that didn't get a proceed will sit until someone's Congressman complains.

 

Don't know if it's an error, but this shows 19 months for paper form 4.

Silencer Shop has no way to know when a paper Form 4 is approved. That "Median wait" of nineteen months isn't what I've experienced. In fact my last ten paper Form 4's were 12-14 months.

With eForms they do. It's a feature of their Full Auto software.
