I just sent my paperwork in, and live in the ATL area (if that's helpful in answering the question). Any idea on how long of a wait time I should expect from when the check is cashed? I get the impression that wait times have been reduced of late. Thanks.

I applied for mine May 5th and the check was cashed on 5/29/18. I was told 200 days.

Going to be a while. Best forget you ever bought it. I've got a buddy who's check was cashed late August for a Sandman S on a Form 4 trust. He is still in FBI Background check phase. Another buddy has a November check cash date that he is still waiting on too. I myself have a late January check cashed for a Sandman K i'm waiting on.

I'm also waiting on a Sandman-K filed on a trust, check cashed 1/24/18.

I don't expect it till fall.

I am in ATL area as well. Purchased from QRF in McDonough. From linked wait time thread posted by Phelen_Kell:

Form 4 Trust
Pending 9/22/2017
Approved 3/25/2018
FFL received stamp on 4/2/2018

The guys at QRF said wait times are all over the map with no consistency that they can see.

I submitted 2 back in early May and the checks were cashed within 2 weeks. Was told by the gun store owner wait times were 6 to 9 months.

My big question has always been, what do they do for those 6+ months? Is this a situation where they are so backed up that they don't get to review the application for months, and then it takes a real short period of time to run the background check; or, does the background check et all take months to do itself?

OK. Thanks. Hopefully before hunting season. Guess it's simply best to forget about it for a while.

Best thing, set it and forget it!

Don’t you mean buy it and forget it? Much harder to do but necessary!

Oh, another pro-tip here for you.....buy more NFA items. Every few months or so. That way you always got something to look forward to and it helps with the wait.

Still waiting for mine. Cashed late November.

My sandman S took exactly 8 months. I filed individual.

2 months here. But that was 2 years ago.
