Re: Form 4 wait time
They are just clearing November pending forms right now.
I got mine from end of november just yesterday. So about 5 months from pending. Maybe there are going to start speeding up soon.

Even though nfatracker is accurate info, there's a reason people post these threads. The last approved form from Pickles is Oct pending on nfatracker. I rarely look there to keep up with the most current approved list. This thread and ar15 thread have the most up to date info. There are forms being approved from mid Dec - just not my examiner. Who is TX's current examiner?

I had a form 4 go pending 11-25-11 and get approved 5-18-12
It has picked up some, so look for it to start speeding up this summer and be quick for at least one full year!

I don't think that's correct anymore - Pickles has been doing TN - or at least for my last 5 transfers since the re-org. When I originally called to check on three of them, I was assigned Lamburger - but they arrived with Pickle's signature. Bowers isn't even listed.

Re: Form 4 wait time
I'm getting ready to mail my form 4 and trust (mostly likely tomorrow after I get my trust noterized) and I'm just curious as to how much of an affect the 12 sub contractors will have on the wait times (I know this is the million dollar question with this thread). I figure if they're doubling up on their man power I hope to see my suppressor this year... Or is this a pipe dream?
This waiting period sucks... Nothing like shelling out a grand and not getting the goods in a timely manner.

It should help a lot. Contractors are usually extremely productive, because unlike the full government employees they can actually be fired.

This is true. When I was in civil service (5 years, after 21 years active duty Army), besides coming in at 630 and leaving after 5, working through lunch, being assigned "committee duties" there were medical boards to complete that there simply wasn't time for. Civil Service rules say anything over a 40 hour week must be compensated. It's federal law the command wouldn't comply with (they had their ways, I mean, you're only scheduled so much work, but those phone calls and record keeping chores still have to get done, right?). With no comp. time forthcoming, as more of us refused to do the extra added burden of administrivia, this work was assigned to more of the contractors, who often stayed to 8 PM and came in on weekends to get the work done. Or? They'd be fired.
Bureaucracy always multiplies to fill up the available space. A year after I left, none of the contractors were still there after their one year agreement.
I don't suppose this is going to work out much differently for NFA branch.

In order to speed up the process I submit my form and check by priority mail with a signature requirement, do not forget to include a 12 pack of Bud light with dry ice to keep it cold. I am thinking that I will get my form on the fast track!

Re: Form 4 wait time
Maybe a good sign, but it seems that a bunch of November and then December pendings got approval last week. In one example you have a single examiner issuing approvals from mid November and then early December in consecutive days. There is a flood of Dec pendings now approved on NFA tracker today.
Anyone have any Form 4 to dealer transfers lately? That seems to be a hard one to guess. Mine will be Dudash on the F4-dealer.

Re: Form 4 wait time
question about my form 4:
i live in PA. the paper work the dealer gave me says to send it GA. why wouldn't it go the chick that does PA forms?
i haven't sent it yet. i am waiting to hear back from my dealer about some questions i have about how to fill out the paper work on a trust. basically, the areas the forms ask for a name, do i put my name, or the trust name, or both? the dealer didn't know. he kept saying, "it should be fine". which is F-ing awesome by the way...

You put the trust name if your using a trust to obtain the item. You put your name if you getting it as an individual with LEO signatures.
You send the form where instructed to do so.... on the form. Your dealer is the kind of person we don't need handling Class 3 items if his knowledge is that limited.

All the Form 4's go to Atlanta first then they go to WV where the examiners get them. That's where they cash the checks.
As far as the Trust - on your Form 4, Block 2a should be the Trust's legal name and address. On the back, Block 15, the first blank is the Trust's name. The signature line - I sign my name and print how I'm affiliated with the legal entity (I use a Corp) for a trust it should be Grantor. You'll also need to fill out a 5330.20 certification of compliance.
I'm assuming you do have a trust already drawn up?

Re: Form 4 wait time
Block 15 - I do put how I'm affiliated. If you're the Settlor on the Trust, I'd put it.
Compliance - Block 1, your Trust's name; Block 2 your name. You don't need to fill one out for your wife ; Block 3 - USA; Block 7 - Sign and date.
Following this, I've be approved from Snook, Feltner, Lamberger, Pickles, and a couple others who are now retired.

4 months? People will be jumping for joy if they get back to 4 months. You're lucky if it's less than 7 months (6 months from pending). Form 3's are taking nearly two months....

Re: Form 4 wait time
i am getting into the mind set of 9-12 months, just so i don't get antsy.. if it is 9, then they will be here for my birthday!!!
koz, thanks for the info and advice. you saved my ass. i scanned my form 4 and my certification of compliance to my lawyer, and he said they were filled out wrong. i implied what your advice was, and you were correct. i had a funny feeling they were not right when i was filling them out. i guess what tipped me off is when the dealer said, "it should be fine". i looked at him and said, "fine??? this is a long 9 months for it to be 'fine'". again, thanks man!!!

Read the past posts and average the times.....
They don't have 12 examiners, one retired about 8 months ago.

With the current examiners + contractors it should fingers crossed, shorten.
Go to nfa tracker to see what current times are.

Re: Form 4 wait time
Does the state/examiner have any relationship with the amount of wait time required for completion?
