Re: Form 4 wait time

I will have to call tomorrow. July 8th mine went pending. Last week was still a no go when I called. I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Mine has been sent back to the dealer for corrections. Not sure when I called I think last Monday and it was pending still.

Yes, he is my examiner for a form 4 I have pending since 7/15/11. No, it is not approved yet. Yes, I mean "ever". Either they re-assigned him to our area and no forms have come in from him since he was reassigned, or he is new and no forms have come in from him yet. Either way, it doesn't look good. </div></div>

Called again this am. STILL pending (form 4) since 7/15/11). Arrggh! </div></div>

Called again this am.

Form 4 mailed 6/30/11
Pending since 7/15/11

ETA: They now tell me 5 months from date of pending to date of approval. This doesn't account for the 2 or so weeks from date of mailing paperwork to pending, or the time it takes to get the form back.

What's the longest time anyone has had to wait between going approved and getting the stamp?

These wait times are killer.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">4+ months. Guess I should just order one every thirty days and then maybe it won't seem so bad.</div></div>

Think this is going to get expensive, but I guess I will only have to wait 4 months once! Now, what to order next?

I had a Form 1 approved from Snook on Oct 25th and I had the stamp Oct 31st. Odd that you don't have it yet, but at least you're approved...

Qoute:
"I had a Form 1 approved from Snook on Oct 25th and I had the stamp Oct 31st. Odd that you don't have it yet, but at least you're approved..."

I just called today to check, she told me it was approved November 21st! Great, to bad I don't have it yet. She said usually 2-3 days to send out and with the holiday things may have backed up in the mail. Sure hope I get a call tomorrow to say "come get it"!

For what it's worth Form was sent in the 1st of July.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Snook said Form 4's are now running at least 5 months.

I think since July, their volume has picked up a little bit.

My Form 3's are taking a bit longer too. Used to be 3 weeks, now it is 4 weeks.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

If that's the case I should get my stamps around the middle of January. Good grief, I hope so.

Did it show up yet? I suspect yours and mine are lost in the same batch.

I think the ATF has won. I'm not sure I'm going to order any more silencers these wait times are too long.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

I guess i get to endure some of this pain now. I just got all my stuff filled out and sent off. I'm not even going to think about it till atleast first part of May. I'm just going to try to forget about it until I get the call.

Re: Form 4 wait time

F4 wait times have been brutal. I've got customers who went pending on 8/5/11, and we are still waiting for their stamps to come back.

Thankfully, F3 times are much shorter. I mailed an F3 on 11/12/11, approved on 12/5 and in hand 12/8. If only F4's were as fast.....

Re: Form 4 wait time

I had an F3 mailed 11-10, still not back yet. I'll be luck to get it in hand next August.

My F4 went off 7-28 I think, still not back.

I doubt I ever buy another one.
If it were 30-60 days or clear once and get a card/permit/instant ok, hell I'd have a dozen.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Shark went pending July 21 on a trust. Just called to check and found out that it was approved on Dec 9. Hope my stamp makes it here by this weekend.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

I was looking on www.nfatracker.com and noticed that there were no forms approved by Jason Frushour since 2009. And there was a from 3 from 2009 that took him 3 months to complete! I realize that is by no means a complete list of the forms he processes (probably a more complete list in this thread), but was wondering if anyone has recently received an approved form with his name on it. Just wondering.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

I'm waiting on Jason myself, Check cashed July 15th, Pending July 30th. put a call into him on 12/12/11 and was told he would be out this week and possibly next due to illness.

Re: Form 4 wait time

I've got two Form 3s 'in process' for Liberty Suppressors:

1st mailed by Liberty on or about 10/21/2011
2nd mailed by Liberty on or about 11/18/2011

Neither have been approved or returned.

More like 0% in. I still have the Form 4 process to wait on.

Let's not even talk about the SBR lower paperwork that I mailed on 9/9/2011 and another last week. I created a "meeting reminder" in Outlook (email program) that pops up on the 9th of each month as a reminder. I think the reminder just makes me madder.

They cashed mine on November 15, so we are in the same boat. Maybe sometime next year, if the wait times do not get longer by the time they start working on November.
