Going with him to pick up his suppressor tomorrow. WTF is up ATF'S ass? Efile down all day too.

So they are still doing approvals even after it was shut down on February 27.
 
It definitely seems the FBI wasn’t the holdup in the process.
AFAIK, when the paperwork is handed to the FBI for the background check, they simply use NICS as they would for a regular firearm purchase from an FFL.

This further illustrates the fact that there should be no impediment to purchasing NFA items over the counter like someone would purchase a non-NFA firearm.
 
I like how most of us are trying to comprehend the eforms issue like we haven't had experience with the atf inconsistencies in everything. Lol.

But it should go to show that if they wanted, it can be that easy to approve. Days
More like 15 minutes tops… Same as a NICS check + Time to read the trust wording, and then sign and date it. 🙄

That’s what we always assumed but according to the atf the FBI was the holdup, never believed them

They must have done a batch afor my LGS today. When I picked mine up she said several came in at the same time. Some were only 1 week.

We can probably surmise with a high degree of statistical certainty, that in the aggregate, all 50 of the States' BMVs are a warp factor 3.2 compared to the ATF. Yet motor vehicles account for an exponentially greater number of deaths and injuries compared to NFA items.
