Form 4 Transfer time

[pc911lv]

So last year in April I bought my first ever suppressor from NFA. Did the silencer shop trust deal. So I’m now at 11 months. I called today and was told you are pending. What does that mean? Anyone have any idea how much longer I should expect to wait?
i really want to get that baby out of NFAs safe and into mine.

Could be tomorrow. Could be August.

During government shutdowns, I don't think they are considered essential, and the backlog just skyrocketed, so it could be this process is on hold during this thing, too. Anyone heard?

I've another 308 can in jail since maybe the same time. I purposely don't keep track of how long it takes. Eventually, I just get a call.

I have a couple at NFA also. My average wait time from cashed check to in hand is just under 300 days.

I just built my own on Form1's in the past most of them took 2 to 3 weeks to get approved...

I submitted a form 4 around the beginning of May last year. It was approved in late march but I still have not got the stamp yet so I cannot pick it up.

submitted a form 1 March 26, approved Apr 19

I've got one out from November 2019 time frame. It is my last trailing item...and it might be the first to finish without me adding anything new to suppressor jail in a long time

My last few wait times were 11 months and just shy of a year, respectively.

I submitted 9 form 5320.20's last week April 15, I wonder how long those will take.

Just went to Nevada Firearms and Training. They mentioned that a new ATF office opened in Oregon handling NFA transfers. They've seen the Form 4's routed to new Oregon office paperwork come back in 3 months. Older Form 4's going to Virginia still a longer wait.

 

[Janizary]

I think that was specifically for individual filing submissions if I remember correctly. Trusts are still taking forever.

 

[Tozan]

Most of mine have been sent to Atlanta.

I am not suprised but, still waiting on the nine I just sent in...

06.06.19 - purchased Dead Air Mask HD suppressor from SilencerShop + Tax Stamp + set up a multiple firearm trust / Form 4
06.08.19 - completed all of the paperwork, pics, fingerprints, notary, etc. between my notary and Silencer Shop Kiosk at NFA
07.02.19 - Tax Stamp application received by ATF and payment check cashed
04.29.2020 - Received a call from NFA to come pick up my completed tax stamp & my suppressor.

This is my first time doing anything like this and I had planned on it being 12-13 months minimum so I was pleasantly surprised. I've never attached or used a suppressor before so I am looking forward to an opportunity to try it out

Congrats Bonez, suppressors are fun to shoot. But beware it could lead to more ATF paperwork in the future...LOL

Could? Heh, that's an understatement

Thanks! You guys definitely nailed it; I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but have already spent some time on the phone today with Silencer Shop to figure out how to get my next one started

I have two suppressors from last year still waiting. ATF cashed checks 5/23/19 and 8/27/19. I called on the first one in early March and it was still pending.

7-8 months on 3 of my cans purchased through silencershop. 12 months on one purchased through a local shop

 

[pc911lv]

Right now Im just hoping to get my can before a dem is elected and makes it illegal!

Something seems constitutionally wrong about them cashing your check without allowing possession at that time you've paid the taxes on it.

I would file a complaint with ATF but it would take them 3 years to get to it to read it.
