Suppressors Form 4 wait time

I bought it on the group buy from Ranger Walker in Dec 2012. By the time it was built and shipped to TX was about 4 months mostly due to an unusually long Form 1 hold.

2. Form Type: Form 4
3. Transferee Type: Trust
4. Forms Sent: April 17, 2013
5. Check Cashed: ??-Apr-2013

Next one will likely be bought from dealer stock and will be an E File for sure.

Looking at 4 months for your next one Eforms.
 
For a few form 4's: ATF cashed checks in late April 2013, received tax stamps mid-March, 2014.
For a few form 1's: ATF cashed checks early May 2013, got tax stamps March 20, 2014.
So... 10 1/2 months.

So exciting. Anyday now and my 30 P-1 will come back. sent paperwork in late april early may of 2013.
 
I bought a Sparrow22 and a Titanium Phantom last year. Mid-march and late April respectively. Got the 22 in last week (its awesome) and still waiting on the 30cal can.
 
Submitted Jan 013
Check cashed July 013
Dealer called today, stamp is in. 3-25-14

Paper forms submitted
Trust
14 months

Next one will be e-file.

No known reason for delay.
 
Well I waited longer than I had to. Found out my suppressor was approved back in Feb, but it's been at my dealer because all he had was the Trust name and didn't know who to contact :p All is well that ends well, so I'm picking up my first suppressor tomorrow!

E-filed my 3 TBAC BA suppressors in mid Nov. (don't remember the exact date), but got the call that all three stamps arrived today :) Looks like we're going to have some quiet fun once I get the muzzle breaks on my 5 DTA barrels!

PS-this a Trust drawn up by a Gun Trust Specialist.
 
Hey, fellow Hiders! Thought I should share my info and hope it gives someone a sigh of relief...I'll use the same format as some of the previous posts and keep it as smooth as possible.

I know my wait hasn't been as long as some, but nine months is ridiculous for any of us to have to wait, regardless! I am currently in the works to set up an NFA trust and can't wait to e-file something! LOL

DG,

You always do excellent videos and reviews, can we expect one of the Cyclone? Mines pending and would love to see and hear some video and your thoughts.
 
Where did you hear that, if I may ask? I'm in the process of having a trust drawn up and I would be pretty pissed if they took away the e-file process.

It was actually posted on the Eforms website. How long? Your guess is as good as anybodies. It needed some major help so maybe they'll do it right this time. Don't be discouraged by it. If you need to paper file then paper file. Class 3 game is not for impatient people and if you are it will teach you patienceance and perseverance!
I have 4 pending Eforms and 9 pending paper forms right now. It's the way it is. :/

I am well aware of the patience needed, as I am already a proud owner. The purpose of my question was because it sounded as though it was rid of all together. On the other hand, if it is to work out bugs and implement a more efficient process then my concerns would be minimal. I appreciate your post/ reply and will have to keep an eye on it.

Does anyone know why it would 10 months from pending to approval for my can? Is it possible in your experience that I may receive it earlier and that they were just giving me the worst case scenario?

My three previous NFA items took 6 months to the day a few years ago.

Or is it partly due to my region/examiner load?

Man this current Gov situation is frustrating!
 
I just got my stamp back for a 30P-1. Check cashed in May 2013, pending in August 2013, stamp received April 8th, 2014.
 
Just got another one back, sent in on 7-12-13, received it on 4-7-14. Not as bad as I was expecting as some of the last ones were longer.
 
I forgot to post this, but I sent on in last year on 6-1-13, and got it back 3-27-14. My first can, and I'm already thinking about another. I hate waiting.
 
Just do it. Always be waiting is my motto when dealing with nfa items. If I don't have one or two in que I'm slacking.

Bought SBR out of state in January. Form4 sent Jan 23, 2014 and received approved form April 1, 2014. Wow, much faster than the 6 months for my last two items. Now to submit the next form4 from my dealer to me. Would be nice if it took 3 months, but I'm not holding my breath.
 
I've been waiting since early February with an e form

How were you so lucky? I've seen lots of folks that are still stuck at the middle of November, I've got two December 24 that I'm waiting on...I was really hoping to have them to go shooting for my birthday tomorrow...doesn't look like that will happen!
 
Not sure if luck had anything to do with it. Class III Designs hooked me up with great customer service. I followed up with Dustin near the 4 month time frame. You need to contact your dealers and have them check the status. Dustin stated they "ATF" usually emailed the approved form 4 without any prompting. Not in this case, he followed through and received my stamp yesterday. I could have had it 5 days earlier on the 4th. The 30PS works great on the 300BO. The 308 will get a try this weekend to confirm zero.

This site mentions "draft" eForms . What is that?
Click to expand...

When maneuvering through a form online, your in - what is known as - draft mode.
The form does not enter into submitted until you meet all the fulfillments, pay, and hit
Submit, and receive a "submitted" confirmation.

People were losing all their work in the middle of the process, or even after paying, because of system crashes.
ATF considers anything that didn't make it to "submitted" confirmation.... In draft.
 
Just talked with the atf. Mine went pending February 24 and the lady said should be done be early August. Mine was efiled for my trust.

So I wonder if the ones that got Efiled and were on a 3 to 4 month track got pushed into the paper pile when they crashed the system and are now on a 9 to 12 month track; Or are the Efiled that were "submitted" before the crash still on the short track??
 
Called today and the lady said mine went pending December 30th (mailed Form 4 early November) and to expect 10 months from pending date.
