Re: Form 4 wait time

Just had a Form 4 go pending a week after cashing the check. That's better than the month its taken earlier this year
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Right now we are getting paperwork back that was submitted the first and second week in March.

Form 4's to individuals, or dealer transfers?
Submitted meaning mailed off (date) or 'went pending' date?
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Picked up my Thunderbeast 30P-1 today.

Wait time for me was less then 5 months. I was pretty surprised when I got the call

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. </div></div>

They form 3 to your dealer from manufacturer. I just filled out a few today and sent them out. Now the long wait!

Mine were Form 4's to dealer. Cross State lines from individual. Took a month, which I thought was pretty fast for a Form 4. They had to cash checks and whatnot. These are MG's mostly and two more cans.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

I mailed my application in Feb. 26th 2012 and just received my stamp back Aug. 30th 2012. This was not my first NFA item either. Hopefully this is not the new norm as I am trying to decide what .30 cal suppressor to buy now.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Mailed 3/13
Delivered 3/15
Cashed 3/23
Pending 4/12
Approved 8/24
Received 9/4
Sara Jones (facsimile)

Nothing out of the ordinary other than my form was signed with a facsimile stamp instead of the typical written signature...

From my perspective things are certainly getting quicker!!!
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

I mailed my form in on 3/22
haven't heard anything yet... my dealer said the wait would be better if I tried to just forget about it until the stamp showed up so thats what I've tried to do(about every other day!) my dealer had the can in stock so evidently that saved me some time on waiting based on what I've read above. Am new to the forum and this is my first can purchase.Also, my dealer wrote the check for the stamp. I haven't seen others post this. would this have any affect on wait time?
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

It took from October 2011 to February 2012 just for my dealer to get the can I wanted in. In the end it'll be almost 1yr from start to finish. So I would say buying a in-stock can is ALWAYS a good idea
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

My dealer also writes my checks. I sent in my last form 4 in the las week of february. Should be back any time. I have two guns waiting to be hushed.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Has anyone noticed how nfatracker.com has slowed down over the past week or so? There hasn't been very much data moving through their system.

a few weeks. They won't put you at the back of the line for an application error.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Happy birthday to me. My wife just gave me my AAC SPR/M4. Paperwork filled out on 3/6/12 and mailed soon after. Approved on 8/31/12 and I believe my dealer had the paperwork on 9-7-12. On a trust. Good luck to all those waiting.

I just got a corrections letter dated 13SEP2012 asking for my trust documents. Funny thing is that my trust documents were part of my packet when I sent it in April. When I sent in the trust, I only included 1 copy even though I was sending in forms for 2 items. Maybe that's why they needed another copy of my trust documents. Either way, I wasn't expecting approval stamp/correction letter until early October. I got the Trust in the mail so hopefully I will get my stamp here in a couple weeks.

Unfortunately, the cashed to pending seems to be getting longer again, but that might be from each reviewer. Mine went cashed to pending in 7 days.
