SWEET! My 2 form 4's weren't far behind that!
 
  • bought octane 45: 02/2020
  • arrives at lgs: 05/2020
  • fill out form 4, individual: 05/2020
  • call ATF for status update on 12/2020, says form 4 pending since 09/2020
I guess my lgs didn't submit my paperwork for 3 months? I'm not upset, this can is just a toy like my other cans. But hot damn I was hoping to have it by Christmas, a gift from past me to future me.

3 months?
Did the LGS not have it in inventory? Makes me wonder if they were waiting on a serial number to submit.
If not, I’d never do business with them again.
 
Really? Me too. I guess there's quite a few AL folks here ?
Cool. I wish there was a "roll call" type of area for each state. That would be cool to know who is from where. I wish the left side of our screen wasn't a drop-down menu, and it showed all the info without having to click on each and every person's to see where they're from.

I'm in b-ham area. I guess a thread could be done for a "sound off" if you wanted to. Might be cool to see how many AL folks are actually on here

Well with that timeline (I did 2 via a form 4 with trust also), that would put mine to arrive in the last week of February. I thought it was closer. I guess it could come sooner than that as well...

The whole reason I did a form 1 was because "it's much faster" and yet, I still don't have that stamp either, nor do I have the quietbore can yet. You can't even communicate with quietbore at all. I would definitely NOT recommend using them if at all possible! They won't even respond to a damn email inquiry, which is the only option to even communicate with them.
 
Posted this elsewhere, but figured I’d see what this thread though. I’m starting to get a little impatient. I filed a Form 1 eFile back in August and it’s still pending. Gave the NFA department about 2 weeks ago to ask what the deal was. Guy told me he couldn’t say I’d have to speak to the experts? I emailed the “perceived experts” and got no response. The ATF person answering the phone stated typical Form 1 for eFile is 2-3 months. Anyone have any solid contacts to try and get to the bottom of the delay? Has anyone seen similar delays?

Trying to decipher the intent and progress of the ATF is like trying to squeeze blood from a rock. Sorry bro, should be anytime then.

Yeah you're right. I figured that timeline would be on the longer end of the spectrum. My ffl (who's also the manufacturer for the form 4's) has been seeing about 5-ish months so, I'm hoping for this month.

I have no idea of what is the delay on my form 1. I got the cover letter on 12/15 and sent the cards and copies on 12/17. I thought I'd have that stamp by now but I guess the holidays plays into that a good bit so???
 
Ours were cashed on the same day. When you call to check on yours ask about mine. I have a phone phobia.:ROFLMAO:
they are nice, just call them, be polite, and have the serial number of the suppressor and the FFL that's doing the transfer and they'll tell you it's pending and average wait time is 7 months. Since you are just a month out, no point in calling until about 6 months. Some fast approvals showing up but those probably aren't the norm. I've never been that lucky, I'm always right in the middle when it comes to approval times.
 
Area 419 Maverick
Mailed- 7/2
check cashed- 7/13
approved- 12/11
stamp at dealer- 1/6

A week shy of 6 months from the date the check was cashed.
 
TBAC 338 Ultra purchased from Capitol on 2 August 2020, got the call today. Not bad a few days more than 5 mos.
 
Submitted TBAC 30 cal Ultra 9 on a regular trust through Meplat Group in Metairie, LA on 7/24. They send the check so I don't know when it was cashed, but the form 4 was approved 12/29. Now the wait for the stamp begins. Meplat is telling me they are just starting to get stamps in for approvals from late November early December so they don't think I'll see it until the first part of Feb.

Well hopefully that means mine will get here soon. I'm really pissed about the form 1 I did, which was done because "it's faster getting approved " . Not only have I still not got my stamp (cover sheet and Cleo sent Dec 17th), but @quietbore won't even respond to the sole means of contact. (Email).

I will probably end up getting my 2 form 4 cans before I get the freaking form 1 stamp, and who knows when quietbore will send what I bought or even respond to me.
 
Two Form 4s on a trust filled out at dealer on 10/2/2020. Just looked this morning and the checks haven't even been cashed yet. Time to pitch a bitch, or sit tight?

I've seen them cashed as quick as 7 days and as long as 2 months. I would say it depends on backlog, but going over 3 months I'd give them a call.
Did you mail them out, or did your dealer? Do you know if they even received the forms?
I know here lately, the USPS has been very late and/or losing a whole bunch of crap of mine.....

I would pitch the bitch. That should not be. Checks should have been cashed months ago

The mistake was mine - I'm a dumbass and apparently don't know how to find a cashed check via an online statement :cautious: Paperwork was filled out 10/2/20 and the checks were cashed 24 days later.

I wrote check in October and still not cashed. They were no help when I called last week. My dealer is checking on it.
