I wonder if that ATF memo is current. Just got my latest in ( right at 6 months on a form 4 ) and Jason Frushour did mine ( memo shows Dana Pickles assigned to KY's ). So, who knows............

eight months? I thought dealer errors only add a week or two onto the wait time.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

We just got stamps in today, dropped in main February 22, arrived here today.

We have been seeing around a 6-7 month wait time. Hasn't hit 8 months yet... Also heard on the grapevine that ATF hired a few new people to help speed up the wait time, trying to get it down to 5 months.

dealer/customer errors only should add 2 weeks, maybe 3 at the most.

nope. whatever the current time is, is what you will wait. trust has to be looked at again, fingerprints have to be looked at again.

Re: Form 4 wait time

JUST got my papers.

Form 4 Trust, SAS .338 Vengeance TOMB can, pending April 3d, approved August 18, forms in hand August 24.

THAT's a change. I wasn't expecting this until October. From time of mailing to approval just over 5-1/2 months. Pending to approval just over 4-1/2 months. Either way, it's faster than my last cans by about a month.

Think I've had enough of this game for a while. I'll wait for cash and carry.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Still almost exactly six months in Michigan, give or take a few days.

For those of you who insist on chasing rumors there is no additional examiner, it is still one examiner, but a new one.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Charger442</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Wait for cash and carry? You're gonna be waiting a while . A long while. </div></div>

I think this is what the American Silencer group is working on, no? Like UK, Finland, other civilized places? I know we're stuck with suppressors being controlled by NFA 1934 BUT, we all know that, once approved, we should be able to buy and keep/use a can on the spot if the NICS system is adjusted to cover NFA items... why wait 6 months? Or a week? Why not cash and carry after a call to ATF and payment of the $200 for the stamp which could be issued by the Class 03/SOT dealer.

Yeah, a guy can dream, can't he?

Anyone else have to fill out more paper work to confirm U.S Citizenship?

All I can do is laugh when I think about it. That should of been my stamp in the envelope not some stupid paperwork to "prove" I'm a US Citizen.

I just had a form 4 get approved after going pending 4 months and 2 weeks. It took a few days to get here but I have the item and form in hand as of yesterday.

They are showing signs of improvement and I hope they keep it up.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

That's great to hear! I've decided to throw down on a 300 blk SBR... I could deal with a 4.5 month wait.

That is a big improvement. I'm doing 7 Form 4's tomorrow so I hope the trend continues. The Form 4's to the dealer were very very fast.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Does everyone have to fill out a Certification of Compliance? I never heard of this from my dealer and it seemed like he never got this before either.
