December 25th is when I was charged for mine. I’ve heard nada.

Edit: Mine is on a Trust.
 
I'm sure there's some quote about charts and data being inaccurate, and if I knew it, I would post it here to describe the ATF wait times.

Or you could just go submit for one and by the time it arrives you'll still be waiting for the times to come down. BTW, I used to think that way too. I was waiting for the hearing protection act, etc, etc. I now have two and waiting on one more. Probably submit another soon. ?

I know the HPA will never happen. The whole system is dumb. It should just be as simple as a NICS check and it's yours.

It's just a personal thing about paying money for something and not being able to actuall posesss it for months and months.

What does the barcode forms do for you? I took in my prefilled forms and the dealer redid them with barcodes. At least I got to look at the pretty boxes my 2 were in before they disappeared into his back room. Checks not cashed in almost 4 months.

Are you saying that your checks submitted with your form 4s written to the atf have not been cashed in four months? If so, I would check up on that. My cards are always charge right after they get the forms. Have you called?

Stop calling. I hear alot of whining and crying. Get off your asses and write some letter to some congressmen, ATF, the President and whoever else gives a fuck and lets get this broken system fixed. Fuck it's 2019 and it's the fucking computer age and we can't get a decision in 3 days?????? Bitching like a bunch of women does nothing. Get pro-fucking active.

The NFA community needs an organization like GOA that can coordinate members efforts, inform, advocate, and lobby. I'm a member the ASA and I don't see that robust activism. I don't see the NFA getting repealed, but I certainly believe Congress can influence the ATF and FBI to streamline the process. Write the letters and make the calls.

I have called a couple times a month every month since october, sent a letter to my representative in January, been forwarded to talk to my "examiner" twice, (went to voicemail both times) in february. Check cashed April 3 2018, still pending.

And drill sergeant up there (79steeler) still doesn't get it right, although what a great motivational speech...:rolleyes:. It shouldn't take even 3 days to get a decision. Should be as fast as NICS check, or even better, no check. If you can't legally own a gun, you technically wouldn't have anything to suppress.

ASA has not impressed me. Now FPC on the other hand, I like their attitude and initiative.

NFATCA exists, but there's been some complaint/accusation that:
  • They are too industry-centric
  • The private individuals are too focused on their MG collections, and expressly don't want anything like a repeal of the Hughes Amendment as it would reduce the value of their collections
  • They work with ATF, but very often seem to be actively advocating for more regulations
Some of this is just the perception of what happens when you work with a government organization, but they generally have seemed rather less open an org than they should be. For example, we're on page 94 of an NFA specific thread and this is the first mention, based on a complaint we need an org to advocate for NFA stuff.

One example of a complaint about a ruling they supported: https://blog.princelaw.com/2016/05/...king-again-now-regarding-silencer-engravings/

Our store got two ( same person ) stamps in today that we sent out Jan. 24th, 2018. On an Individual form 4 !! WTF ????
 
I'm going to write to my congressman. Is a hand written letter too much to request an inquiry? Will an email get ignored?

Stopped by the gun shop/ indoor range/ SOT dealer this afternoon. Happened to inquire about the status of my stamp. Halfway through my question to one of the folks that worked thete, out of left field, the loudmouth clerk behind the used guns counter blurts out, "How long?!" And immediately followed up with, "Good fucking luck!" As I was answering his q question with 11 months. He then tries to school me on the shutdown and increased wait times. The guy I was originally addressing could see I was getting irritated at his colleagues rant. He offered to go in the back and see. Sure enough the stamp came in Nov 19th. It had been sitting there for over 3 months. What's worse, is I called and asked about in the beginning of February and was told no. Total dickbags.

So correction to my previous post.

Check cashed 4/10/18. Stamp received 11/19/18

With such stellar service, you should probably let everyone else know where this was so that they can experience the same excellence.
