Unfortunately, our dealer is a prick...too bad there is not another one worth a damn around here. Just kidding, Steve (Rangerwalker71) is a great guy! If you are in West Tennessee and are on the fence about getting into the NFA game, get in touch with Steve. I was using my cans (at the range with him) 3 days after I bought them. THANKS BROTHER!!!

And for the AAC wiggleage people, I have 4 barrels that I have mounted and timed 51T brakeout (flash hider/brake). She locks up solid as a rock on all 4 without an iota of wiggle. Just give it a good final heave with hand tight and it will go over the last tooth. Did this on one that had a little play at first and worked fine. The next test mount on that brake didn't require the same amount of force at all. Almost like I broke the mount in.

None. The TBAC, I hope, shouldn't take longer than April 2013 to be in my hands. And the AAC Element II, which I ordered this past April, still hasn't arrived at my local SOT. I don't understand why it is taking so long. I'm getting the itch to cancel it and purchase something else.

I just picked up my Silencerco SS Sparrow this past weekend. It took around 6 months from when I sent the paperwork in to went I picked the suppressor up. I think it was 25 weeks total time.

Re: Form 4 wait time

I think you forgot the word ‘Minimum’. As a San Antonio resident and being few weeks shy of one year and waiting (on at least one) I can tell you; while I hope the wait times do go down the system is FAR from perfect and you cant just say 'as a matter of fact': "5 month wait".
If you have actual wait time data such as sent dates, pending dates approval dates and so forth I’d love to hear them

Re: Form 4 wait time

It took mine a little over 6 months from start to finish. Bought/mailed forms on 3/15, approved 09/09, BUT the dealer had to return the stamp because the examiner didn't sign the forms Got it back 09/28.

You would have to have used delivery confirmation to know when the paperwork was delivered and you should be able to check with your bank to see when the check was cashed...at least that's what I do.

I just kept looking online at my bank account to see when the ATF cashed my check.. I used a personal check so I could easily track the date of them cashing it. .. ATF does not waiste any time getting money. Chances are if you send in your money (check) they cashed it within a week. I found this number to help out- I'm sure it's been posted before. I hope you have copy's of your paperwork. You will need your info when you call them to find out (serial numbers etc.)

To get the status of your transfer, call the ATF's NFA Branch at 304 616-4500

Re: Form 4 wait time

So much for decreasing wait times if you go by NFA tracker statistics. My wait went from a 72% chance in December down to 57%. I've been checking periodically and as the time progresses the wait seems to be increasing along with it by 5-10% a month.

 

[karb]

Re: Form 4 wait time

RIght, Tracker -was - saying every 5 days would shave a day off. Look closer on that graph, and scroll down. It appears that the update was in sept., so perhaps the wait time computer is still in conjunction with sept?. I have noticed some May -check cashed- were starting to come up on approval.

This thread has gotten quite though.
