what is the atf number to call, check was cashed 10 months ago
 
they said it was approved may 21, waiting on stamp, could take 45 days
 
Approved April 21. Today is the 45 days and my dealer still hasn't receive the stamp(TBAC is my dealer). What do I need to do if the stamp never arrive?

I would wait until the 60 day mark to call. Some are taking between 45 and 60 days.
 
Rumor is the delay on stamps is due to inspectors only going into the office once a month or so. They use an electronic system to track the dates, but until the inspector actually drops off the approved form at the office, it doesn't get mailed.
 
Likely for the same reason they don't have a database that correlates submissions. It honestly feels like the ATF's job is to delay the rights of law-abiding citizens. If they would open eFile back up for Form 4's it would simplify a lot of this nonsense just like it has for Form 1's. Why they won't do that, who the F knows.

Because the system DOES NOT SUPPORT TRUST TRANSFER FORM 4S.
 
My buddy just won the lottery and got his stamp last week from a February application.


Does your buddy look like this?

Well, I can't compete with getting a stamp back on an application from February, but just had three of mine come back in 7 months and 11 days (Form-4 signed to stamps received by dealer). Lots better than the 11 month wait I had last time. The ATF must be using their Coronavirus lock down time to get caught up.

I have more in the queue, hopefully after this one they will be released sooner. I doubt it though.
 
The girl that answered my call today has no chill.

Gave my serial, transferer and transferee info and got asked. "Who are you in relation to this transfer? so I answer then get "you're at 6 months and we are running 10 months"

Like a why are you bothering us. So I brush it off and say well I appreciate your help and now I know I dont need to call you for another 4 months and then.... silence...

I love how they act like it's such an inconvenience to do their fucking job. They sit at a climate controlled desk all day, ask three questions, and type <15 digits into a computer. So difficult.

Probably have awesome benefits and fair pay too. Some people are just miserable.

Paid for, and paperwork filled, including fingerprints, at the LGS' Silencer Shop kiosk on 2 July 2019.

LGS received my tax stamp yesterday morning, so I was able to pick up the suppressor yesterday, June 12, 2020.

So have we been able to narrow down any particular way to submit that ends up being faster or is it all fairly random? For my first cans I went through a local dealer back in May 2016 and those took roughly 8 months to get.

This time I did the SilencerShop single shot trust for 3 DearAir Nomads and I’m seeing anywhere from 78 days to 10+ months for approvals. My check cashed on 5/7/2020 so my hope is that I get them before our deer season in November which should be right around 6.5 months.
