At any rate they're getting into July pendings for those holding their breath. </div></div>

so, in theory, you should be bout 2 weeks out, right?

as far as the error letters, do they go to the dealer or the owner of the item?
 
#2,008
Re: Form 4 wait time

2 weeks or less in theory. I emailed a PDF of the schedule A they needed, and the assistant said it should be approved in the next day or two. That's how it went with my last error letter. That one I snail mailed the correction back and had the approved form in hand 2 weeks later.

Error letter went to my dealer.

Re: Form 4 wait time

so this is what it felt like as a kid waiting for christmas! i'll be 33 soon, so its been awhile since i've been super excited about christmas. i'm definitly calling off work the next day!!!

and this has nothing to do with our cans coming around christmas time. it just happens to be that way.

the reason i ask is that my dealer is not very good at calling when things come in. i ordered a storm lake barrel, and he told me it would be 6-8 weeks before it came in. so i happened to stop in one day ask if it was in yet. "oh, it's been here for awhile". this was on week 10. also, if you call and ask on availabilty or price for a gun, they say, "i'll call you back on that". oh well...his loss.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Called today to check on the status...
(Mind you ive checked on my 3 form 4s before and got their pending date.)
1 form 4 had a problem status but was corrected the next day (on its own) *raised eyebrow* and the agent on the phone could not tell me what the problem was... *another, raised eyebrow*
And my other 2 forms, no longer have any record....
agent said "call your dealer".
I am beyond words, msg left with dealer.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Sorry for the repost if doing so...

I am sending my forms in today, I realize it takes 6+ months. What happens after approved? The stamp(s) are sent to the dealer and then they call you to come pickup the can(s)?

Pretty much how it goes down. Approved form 4 shows up with stamp and you come down and do a 4473 and away you go.

I am no FFL so forgive me if this is wrong but it is my understanding that a suppressor is considered a firearm by the ATF so it should be going in and out of their log book and the only way to get to out of their log book is a 4473. A NICS check is not required unless the item is going to a trust/LLC,Corp or other entity in which case the person picking up the suppressor has not yet been checked out.


Hopefully a dealer can step in here and elaborate as I'm sure that is a very shitty representation of what has to happen lol.


Edit:
Also I went straight through TBAC and when I picked my two up I did a 4473.

Re: Form 4 wait time

30P-1

Form 4 sent in 3-25-12
Check Cashed?
Pending May 25
Corrected Serial Number around week of September 1
Approved 9-27-12
Stamp lost between NFA Branch and USPS
Sent in request for certified copies
Received Certified Copies 11-21-12

Result of the royal mess, a satisfied TBAC customer. The accuracy and repeatability on my Collier Rifles 308 meets my high expectations.
Thanks to TBAC and the members here who led me to my purchase. Your advice (covertly acquired) was invaluable.

I sure would like my damn stamp!

Interesting. Just asked my new dealer and he said he does but no call in also. Looks as if I will be doing some on my new additions. Sorry about that looks like my old dealer is going to get an ass kicking come audit time.

Re: Form 4 wait time

I have received 6 stamps via trust. From two different dealers. I have filled out the forms 4473 on them all and never had any of them called in on the instant check. From my understanding is the trust owns the stamps. Hope this helps. But hell I could be in the wrong also. Lol. All 6 were cans

I used to never fill out the 4473 at the shop where I do my transfers but on the last one they had me do it, however they didn't run the check, not sure if they changed a rule or something perhaps? The other cans I all bought prior to last year.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Sent out my forms in mid may, can't remember the exact date. Just got the paperwork kicked back because ATF wanted me to remove the last 2 letters on a model name, so hopefully 2 weeks or so and I'll have the can back!

Damn, I might not make Christmas with the Thanksgiving break factored in then. Went pending July 17.

Re: Form 4 wait time

last time I called and spoke with atf agent deameon, he told me this is the final stage where its waiting for final approval. He estimated me at 30 days.
I gather (and these are my guesses), that the assistant has checked the form and put it on the examiners approval desk. I also think approval will be less than 30 days but they are factoring for gathering up a new pile and mailing them out.
Sounds like youre almost there, good luck
