Is the eForm 1 wait times still around 3 weeks max?

I did 3 last summer, 2 SBR's and a silencer. First SBR took 23 days, the other SBR and silencer I sent off together and got the stamps in 17 days.

ATF knocked it out of the park with the eForm 1's. Their too easy to do. Only thing that I got hung up on was the BY MANUFACTORER CODE on the silencer. Googled it and found out it was FMI. All was well after that.
When I got my rejection in March, I was told the wait was 60 days at that point.
 
When I walked into my local PD last week they printed me on the spot.

Now hoping I get the cover letter and request for prints soon.

You should have got that the second you submitted the eForm 1.

First one I did, after the payment part, I thought I was finished. I waited 3 days, and still no email with the cover letter. Went back into the form and I didn't submit the damn thing.

As soon as I did I got the email with the cover letter.
 
shoobe01 - DECADES back GONRA hada (smart) ATF agent
actually DICTATE and otherwise fill in a tricky ATF form for me -
essentially to apologize for a massive screw ATF up made
much earlier by another (dumbass) ATF agent.
(I had no idea how to "fill it in" to "game the system".)
 
Yep. Reason given:
You incorrectly filled out the form by putting your name and address in the block labeled, "name and address".


When using a trust, the trust name goes in that block.

Leave it to the Federal government to complicate something simple.

I used to design forms for a federal agency and could correct that form in about 20 seconds.
Didn't bother reading the instructions did ya?:scrutiny:
ALWAYS read the instructions, because they clearly tell the applicant exactly how to fill out the form. It isn't complicated unless you ignore the instructions printed on every ATF form.

Amazingly, my customers who follow instructions the best? English isn't their first language.:rofl:
 
I had a form 4 get declined because the store clerk left one piece of info off of application. The ATF examiner would not let the store submit the needed info, and I had to start over from scratch. Immediately re applied sending in another $200 tax stamp fee and I got the suppressor in 5 months and then a refund of the first $200 tax stamp I sent in 8 months later. Thought my first $200 would never be seen again. I called so many times asking for my refund they finally sent it to me so I would quit calling I think.
 
One of the error fixes my dealer did on one was to change the caliber from .300 to .3. IMO, that is about as silly as it gets. There were at least a couple other errors so it wasn't only that.
