Re: Form 4 wait time

I am headed to pick up Cascade MC in a few hours. My check was cashed on 28 May and my dealer got the form 4 in Saturday 31 July, really quick turn around for the ATF.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Just FYI, but my former employer just got back a stack of approved Form 4s last Thursday. They were all individual transfers that were sent into ATF between mid January and mid February. Examiner was Nancy Flanigan on all the transfers.

Wow 7-8 months door to door? That is beginning to approach some of the horror stories I heard happened in the early 90's. I sure hope the rest of your trust transfers hurry up and go through!

Hopefully they have an express lane when the Osprey cans from the group buy roll on.

Re: Form 4 wait time

In WA state we almost have to do a trust,never heard of the Chief LEO signing off on one for a civilian,nor have the 2 SOT dealers I use.Can guys in other states do the same and bypass the finger print,photo,LE permission,etc ? I did one on a trust last year and it only took 9 weeks and seemed hassle free,at least as far as dealing with the Feds goes.

Re: Form 4 wait time

How are you guys checking status? I called the other day just to see if it was at least pending and to find out who was processing the form, and so then the lady on the phone says that your form dosent show up in the system till 60 days after the check is cashed.

Not a huge deal as it seems the majority of them are coming back within 60-70 days.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

I think most people just call about once a month. When I called for the first time, it was about 4 days after the form was approved and she just told me the date of approval.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Form 4 suppressor to individual cashed 7/20, picked up today. Would have been picked up 2 weeks before that if ATF hadn't changed their rules about what is an acceptable reason for owning in NC. They "approved" it without a stamp, sent it back to my dealer and had me change the reason for owning. They even told me what to put on the form. Not too bad an experience.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Just my luck....

After 2 weeks I hadnt seen my check clear the bank from the ATF so I went back and checked my postal reciept. I sent the paperwork priority mail with tracking guaranteed to be there in 2 days. Checked the tracking number and found that it got lost in the mail. It did finally arrive 15 days late. Went to the post office and they refunded the cost of shipping for it being late. Hopefull now I can expect the check to clear anytime. Just caused a 2 week delay right out of the box.....Keep your reciepts.

Check finally cleared 9/8/2010

Sent my form in at the end of June and just called and they told me my paperwork was approved and being sent back!!! That is all the details that I have!!

Re: Form 4 wait time

I got in on the GemTech promotion..don't recall the exact month May?????;

Got my $$$ to my FFL a GemTech Vendor as per his instruction. He mailed payment to GemTech.

A guess on my part:
Apparently the payment came in after the deadline but the Post Mark on the check preceeded the deadline, and there may have been a in-the-mail glich.

GemTech approved/accepted and allowed the payment.

*************GemTech <span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">""</span></span>held payment<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">""</span></span>.********************

MAY JUNE JULY.....

NFA did not get payment until August 4th. Paperwrk did not get entered into NFA books until August 30th.


My SandStorm won't get released for ANOTHER ""4 MONTHS FROM AUG 30TH"" as per Nicole at the NFA.....

7 MONTHS......... ...this was a real <span style="font-style: italic">gem</span> of Customer Service!
