Suppressors Form 4 wait time
I was told the same thing but I am going on 10months going on 11months.. total Charlie foxtrot over there at the ATF..
I think I began my form 3 process in Oct 2012. Form 4 didn't go pending for 3 months after sent. Called again and expected to be complete in middle April 2014.
Eforms are the only way to fly. Form 3's fastest was 16 days. Form 4's running 3-5 months,
closer to 92 or You. congrads. get your barrels threaded now.

Shit, mine was sent/cashed the same week. I was hoping for before May. I could submit another one via eForms and maybe get it first....
I had one that was sent in late Dec 2012. Check cashed in March 2013 and it went pending June 2013. I was told to expect it in Feb 2014, so hopefully this is true....
Called yesterday went pending in June. lady said 9 months from pending.

My oldest son has several cans and offered a way to really shorten the wait time. He said that he called BATF about two months into the process to say that he might be moving (which he wasn't) and was concerned about paperwork getting mixed up with a change of address. With this, BATF took his Form 4 to the top of the piles received approval almost immediately.
To me? A rather dubious way to go about it, but it worked for him ... twice.

So your son is a liar and you thought that "sharing" ways to lie to get what you want to be a good idea? Sounds like you taught your son integrity.
Here's a novel idea...wait like the rest of us. I don't know why some people think their time is more important then the next guy.
I'd love to have my suppressor, but I'm not willing to be dishonest in order to have my paperwork pushed ahead of other guys.
You are telling us all that if you are a scumbag like your son, then you can jump ahead of the line.

finally..
Form #1 Pending 3/22/13 Stamp received 1/31/14
Form #4 Pending 3/13/13 Stamp received 2/1/14..
Now to the range...
Meanwhile I ordered another Can so I guess I will be dealing with this stupid bureaucracy for another year... Or more.. :-(
Form #1 Pending 3/22/13 Stamp received 1/31/14
Form #4 Pending 3/13/13 Stamp received 2/1/14..

Waiting on some Form 4s that I need to check on dates. However I had an SBR Form 1 eForm that I submitted on 10/23/13 get disapproved 1/21/14. I have now had to resubmit because I entered "Multi" as the caliber. I realize the mistake was mine, and I should have read up before answering, but I (stupidly) thought that if the answer was in their drop down box choice list, that it was a valid answer. Really too bad that you can't amend an eForm and, instead, have to resubmit. I called about my refund and was told that it should be automatic, within 10 days.
Yep mine got kicked for the same reason... They had me submit the other configuration on a separate letter..
Just talked to my dealer yesterday after picking up my Titan QD that I waited a year for. He's getting E-Filings back in 3 Months! Looks like I have a SAS Reaper in my future!
So is this a complete do-over (the selecting "multi" on an electronic Form 1)? I submitted one a couple of weeks ago using "multi" and I'd like to get out in front of it rather than wait 3 months and start over.
No you should not lose your spot in the "queue".. They will just kick it and you will have to fix it before it goes forward..
Wrong. Electronic forms have no error status. They are denied, you get refunded your 200 and you resubmit and go to the back of the line.
I did not see that he had submitted an e-form. My bad. I was speaking of my experience with paper forms....
So any way to head this sucker off? Or just wait to get rejected???
From what I am hearing you just wait to get the rejected notice and then refile it.
Wonderful.
And even being rejected you will have your stamp before us paper form four jacklegs!

Exactly what happened to me. After it happened, I looked online for thoughts and I came across an example where someone called ATF to rescind their application and "head off" the problem, but they still had to refile with a new application.

You can always try and have it changed. If you have a dealer that you work with, they may be able to call their favorite examiner and change something. Mine did that with one of my form 4 transfers when he realized one page of my trust wasn't correct. That change didn't involve editing the transfer papers though so it may be different. It never hurts to try. Worst that will happen is they say no, you cancel your app and resubmit one ASAP to minimize the time in limbo instead of waiting for rejection.

Just a heads up from the source.
I got a call today from a pre-examiner gentleman at the NFA branch, who was very nice and helpful.
Despite what my SOT had told me, you can not list more than one caliber in the Form 1 (SBR). I already knew they were rejecting 'multi' as a caliber, and my SOT told me to list out the calibers I was looking to register instead of writing 'multi'. I chose 300 BLK and 5.56. The ATF gentleman said that they required that it was just one in that box, asked which I wanted, and then said he would make sure it was corrected as he passed it to my examiner. He did reiterate that I could swap uppers between the two as I saw fit.
He Also said that I had another 3 months to wait likely, and it has already been there for 9 months. We're getting backed up boys.

Sorry Walter but in all due respect I don't believe that.
I sent mine in the second weeK of Jan13 and received my stamp 2 days before Christmas of 13.
You must be a special person Walter in the eye's of the ATF.

Based on what I have experienced and heard, that seems eminently reasonable for an eForm.

What took yours so long? I mailed two in first week of January 2013 and had them approved in September 2013. Nine months to the day.

I hate you all. Im STILL waiting on one of my cans from Jan 2013. Gave it a year (which was the 1st of jan pretty much) and then my dealer started calling. he was getting cans back that he submitted after mine. Well apparently the ATF put a stack of paperwork including mine and a couple other guys he sent in at the same time in the wrong spot or some BS. So he asked if they would rush them through or anything to which he was told 30-60 days >.<
I hope my TBAC 30p1 goes much, much, much smoother!
