I recently had a suppressor with an error status because it was missing the Certification of Compliance. I was doing 2 transfers with a trust in one envelope and only sent one 5330.20 in. There must have been a mistake somewhere. I just sent in the compliance form and received my stamp a week or so later.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

so, you are saying they are necessary even for a Trust ?

copied from page 5...

"nor is the submission of ATF F 5330.20, Certification of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B), required."

</div></div>
The date on that link you provided was from 2008 so it is a few years old. As for sending in the compliance form, ever since I got that error for not sending in the 5330.20 for transferring and item with a TRUST I always send it in and haven't got an error on any of my items on a trust since

So I would guess yes based off my transfer experiences.

Cvarney once the error is corrected you will normally get it back fast like 1-2 weeks tops. I have had three errors to correct in the past and this is what it was for me each time. Good luck PG

Re: Form 4 wait time

They cashed my check within a week, now I wait.
Is there a way that you guys are checking on the status
of your NFA approval?
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

You really need to read back before you post a question.
this is page 1 of this thread.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: TypeR632</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Phone, you need your serial number for the item. Number is
304-616-4500, store it in your phone. </div></div>

it will be under your name for individual or your trust name under a trust. you may also need your dealers company name.

otherways to check this are to compare pending to approval times here or visit other places such as nfatracker.com

** no information is as good as NFAs (listed # above). if you have any basic questions please contact your dealer.

For the rest of us here
I'll start working on a work on a basic suppressor FAQ for a sticky. Im no guru so ill put what i know and have you other guys help me fill in the blanks.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

I didn't realize that I'm supposed to read 40 pages back before we ask questions.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

And for what it's worth, you'll be told only if it's pending or not. You will not be told when it will be approved. You WILL be told that approval times are approximately 6 months from the time the application became pending.

Got everything needed to the ATF, the guy that was going over my trust there was William Thurston, and a note from my seller mentioned "inspector #8" or something like that was assigned to it. I got an email from him this morning saying he's recieved everything and is passing it on to the examiner for approval. So i'm guessing around the 1st of Dec roughly. I imagine it being a holiday week will slow it down a bit too. But it's nice to see the end of the tunnel.

Re: Form 4 wait time

mine is pending 6/14 and all they have told me is that it was transferred to the examiners desk on Oct 24 and is just waiting on his signature. I didn't realize that they would give you a date on that stage. I would hate to see the amount of paperwork on that desk!
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

304-616-4500

you need your serial number
name that the item is under (your name or trust name)
who you bought it from

at least this is what she asked me today. you may need more info or less depending on who you talk to. it is the govt after all...
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

NFA tracker is no where close to accurate anymore. My can went pending August 27th and it keeps telling me I have a 58% chance of December which in reality with the 6 month waits I'm looking at late January or early February of next year.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Sorry to break it to ya Broker.... your most likely right. I received a problem status/notice November 6th, resubmitted correction and it went pending approval 15 November.... still nothing (my original pending date was June 22).

Dude... That's total bullshit man. Tell me he refunded some of your money at least? You should post up who ever it was you used so no one else gets shafted like that.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

they never charged me a transfer fee (i would have flipped) & person handling transfers was fired (because of these and many others) and gone for many months now.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

GOT THE CALL TODAY!!!

And on my birthday ! ! ! How's about THAT!!!

Went pending June 25th. 4 days shy of 5 months !!!
