The shop i went through (Accutac Arms in Lakeville MN ) is looking into it. Kind of sucks if it's lost. 2 months Fu**** wasted.
It's okay, we say Fucking around here alot. Especially with NFA items.
Good ol’ Accutac Arms, small world. I use to do all my FFL transfers there when I lived in MN
Anyone get a can approved over the past couple weeks. Not talking about paperwork arriving - literal signature on paperwork. Wonder if the NFA branch is still in the office...
Supposedly the NFA branch is still up and running, so it should be possible. I’d give just about anything to have my rifle can out of NFA jail right about now.
There is no Federal shutdown, just state wide. The ATF would be essential. Even if most get sick they said they have procedures in place to allow approvers to work from home.
And... my Form 1 was just approved yesterday.
That’s good info. They’re telling me I’m 2 months out on two different items. Glad to hear there have measures to pump them through
That was my thought and next thing I knew I ordered 3 more and somehow justified it in my head.
I ordered one a couple days ago that I have been drooling over, it was backordered. when it comes in I will have three in the queue and I hope they will batch them together and approve them post haste.
Bought my ultra 9 cb 3/10/20, tax stamp cashed 3/23/20. Hopefully they’ll batch approve my 22TD since I bought that last July
Form 4
Silencer shop single shot trust
Check cashed 11/14/2019
Approved 3/17/2020

Nice! Thats a short wait.
My buddy waited 3 hours in line to get his can Monday from his FFL. Only 2 peeps allowed in the store at one time. Very long line. His was approved in 5 months ( submitted in Oct 2019 )
Dang thems is quick turn around times!!! Might have to add a few more to jail just incase I hit the lottery and get them all approved at once
I ordered one on Black Friday, all paperwork complete on 12-16-19.
Ordered a second one Jan 1, all paperwork complete 1-8-20.
Got a call today, and went and picked them both up! I was expecting a 10-12+ month wait. Talk about a happy guy!

Not strictly on topic, but ATF is getting it done. Bought another RF can yesterday. Got an email today. Form 3 approved, can in the mail to my dealer.
I had two checks cashed (individual) in mid November...nothing yet. Guessing I got fucked into the 14 month crowd instead of the 3 month lucky fuckers.
Weirdness prevails ... B&T TP9 can Form 4 trust sent Oct 15th 2019, approved March 1st 2020 - thats ~ 6.5 months ... however my Saker 556, B&T and KAC MP5SDs submitted in May 2019 nada. WTF is going on with ATF?
You will like the chode on the TP9. If you haven’t, pull a form 1 for the gun. Once it has a can, wire stock and vertical grip it becomes an entirely different gun. In fact, without the two stamps, it’s pretty much a pig.
I swapped out the trigger blade and charging handle for the ones printed by CustomSmith Mfg. Put a Trij SRO on it and you’ll have a great range toy.
Only issue I have is that it’s gassy in the face.

My check was cashed 8/22 so here’s hoping I can join you guys soon with a stamp received date.
Didn’t get the big batch approval I was hoping for with 9 cans in jail. Just called today and found out 3 cans were approved on March 24th and those 3 cans all had the same tax stamp cashed on 6-1-19. It isn’t all 9 at once but I’m at least happy to get some back at around 10 months.... still have not received a call from the dealer yet saying to pick them up.
Man I just don’t understand the ways of the ATF. Total randomness. Hopefully soon for ya!

I can’t believe they just wouldn’t put all yours together for you. What a WASTE of resources.
I was debating calling today but think its just too soon. Will wait until Thursday (318 damn days) then call again. See what they’re saying.

Yeah I don’t get it, doesn’t make sense. Best of luck to ya! Should be soon I imagine!
As I've always maintained, the least efficient way to deliver goods and services is through the government.
Being a government employee I mostly agree with, but I don’t know man, I’m an Air Traffic Controller and we provide a damn good service to busiest safest airspace in the world ?
There are always exceptions to every rule.
I am happy to see the wait times down... it seems like when the wait times go down more machine guns move.. this is a weird time for MG's everyone is used to them going up in price... some still will but some have taken a drop lately.

That sucks. He could clean his office up. There's a lot of papers just sitting around. Just saying. BTW is he still there?
I called ATF today and found out that my Nomad from 17May2019 on a single person Trust was approved on 18Mar2020 (8 months). I spoke with my dealer today to let them knw it was approved, no stamp as of yet, but probably end of this week or early next week (~ 2weeks between approval to stamp arrival).
Thankfully today the state and county gov in NC backed off the "all gun shops are considered non-essential businesses" and must close BS so I won't have to wait until the end of April to mid May to go pick it up!

Yeah it’s a real shit hole for a guy with roughly 34 free hours a week.
Shit give that due an approval stamp and all Form 4's and say have at it.
We will never know the full story or the truth behind why he was put on desk duty, but lets list what we do know.
1. He is making $150k a year. Many watching this make half that and work for it.
2. He is old and probably close to retirement. He will get 70-75%-ish of his current salary for the rest of his life.
3. He decided to video tape his daily work life, while crying the entire time and gave it to CNN.
What I would say to him, given what we know? Shut the fuck up and watch youtube.

Got a single person trust with 2 cans on it from May 20th 2019. Called today and still not been assigned. I am getting so sick of calling and nothing coming of it. Called since 295 days once a week (316 days at present).
Relllllly hoping this week I get approved.

I recently had 3 batch clear from the same examiner, 1 RP trust Form 4s.
Shortest wait was 36 days from check cashed to approved. Other two were at 107 and 148 days.
Definitely got lucky this time, last year I remember getting a form back that took over 400 days.

Form 4 Trust (2 RPs)
Purchased: 04/23/2019
Check cashed: 05/17/2019
Approved: 03/21/2020 (309 days)
Stamp @ Dealer: 04/13/2020
Interesting note - purchased another can (also trust w/ 2 RPs) and the check was cashed on 11/13/2019. As of 04/03/2020 the 2nd can was still pending, not approved at the same time as the one from May. In June 2019 we moved (same state, same county, just different town) so the addresses on the Form 4s are technically different. Not sure if that is what prevented the two from being approved at the same time, as others have been reporting.

Called today for my weekly update (2 cans, 5/20/19 1RP trust) and was informed they are ‘assigned’. What’s the average wait people are experiencing on this wait? I know postal times vary once approved, just wondering.
Is it best to call the atf and ask to speak to the examiner? See what their thoughts are?

If they are assigned you will be any day now in my experience.
Hope you’re right on that one. The wait has been absolutely soul destroying. Especially seeing all these people get theirs early.
