Called NFA today to check the status of my form 4 ( doing it as a trust). I called because it had been mailed in, by my dealer back in April. I was told it was assigned and pending as of 07/10/2009. Anybody know about what the aveage wait from here might be. I know some may be sooner and some later, just looking for a average. This is my first NFA item so I really don't know what to expect. Thanks

Re: Called NFA today

every time I wait for a stamp it seems it takes longer, you would think they would have streamlined the system by now!

Re: Called NFA today
6 weeks+ from Pending to approved seems to be the norm at this time.
Anywhere us to 2 months between the check being cashed and going pending is about right, too.
4 months end-to-end is doing good these days

Re: Called NFA today
perhaps you should get the examiner's name and phone number/e-mail addr.
One person (now an examiner) handled a paperwork deficiency for my C&R via e-mail.

Re: Called NFA today
You are lucky. My last can took 2 months from cashed to pending, then 6+ weeks to approved, then 2 more weeks to get to the dealer.
My most recent form 4 had its check cashed 10 July so I guess I'll call tomorrow and see if it went pending.
You would think theis one would go fast since my last one was approved 21 May of this year, but the ATF seems to not have a memory between forms........sadly.

Re: Called NFA today
The class three dealer I use told me yesterday that ATF says 20 weeks after the cashing of the check. That was current as of yesterday.

Re: Called NFA today
If you think that there is a Texas law which will eliminate the need to get federal tax stamps on NFA firearms, please cite the law. I followed the legislative session very carefully, and I'm pretty sure there is no such law.

Re: Called NFA today
paper work went to nfa on april 2, check cashed a few weeks later, went pending june 23, still pending as of august 17. frustrating.
have a buddy that was on the EXACT time line, he has in hand the suppressor he submitted paper work on april 2 AND another suppressor he submitted paper work on about a month later AND we have the same agent as we're going through the same dealer. there's no rhyme, there's no reason, just frustration.

That's unusual. The checks I've sent along with 4 seperate Form 4's over the last year have cleared my bank within several days of being received.
