Got an eForm 4 approved today at 220 days. Last one was 200 days. Hard to call it a change in trend but we're still a long way from 90 days.

I'm still waiting on my eForm from mid March. 212 days and still waiting. What date was yours submitted on?

March 14 and still waiting.

I hit my 1 year mark on my last paper Form 4 3 days ago. The nice lady at the NFA Branch said "any day now".

E-file Form 1. CZ Bren 2. Submitted 8/24/22. Approved 10/18/22. 55-Days. I have been waiting 7-months on e-file Form 4. Oh well.

Edited to add pic.

I e-filed my Form1 9/16/22. E-filed Form4 thru my dealer on 9/22/22. Hoping to get at least my Form1 back soon.

I helped my friend E-filed 2x Form1 on 9/26/22. We sent his fingerprint cards via USPS Priority mail the same day. HE received an APPROVAL on one of them in 8 days. I couldn't believe my eyes when he emailed me a copy.

I think every once in awhile the ATF decides to tease us and send a couple out in the wild with silly numbers so we don't feel so depressed about the normal times.

Today ended with a nice surprise. A PAPER F4 submitted 13 months ago arrived at my dealer. I needed this particular purchase and tried to hedge my bets by buying another and eform4 last March to see if I could get it earlier, but no luck that one is in the current eform4 queue.

I can only wish I am as lucky as my friend. I have the stock I need to make by B&T APC9 SBR. Refreshing my email In box every hour like a madman.

At least you have light at the end of the tunnel.

I did a Form 1 Efile when they first started.. Everyone else....two or three weeks. Mine... Six months.

If I was an examiner I'd pull one off the wrong end of the pile every few days just to give somebody a win and keep the internet guessing.

I imagine you'll see the eForm one fairly soon. I talked a customer out of cancelling his paper form and re-submitting via eForms in May and it panned out.

54 weeks and just picked up my Dead Air Nomad Ti. That will be the LAST paper Form 4 I ever do.

Who knows someday soon at the rate that Eform4's are delaying paper might be faster.

Got some good news in my Inbox this morning.

I e-filed my Form1 9/16/22 . APPROVED 10/26/22.

E-filed Form4 thru my dealer on 9/22/22. Hope it doesn't take an entire year.

Don’t see that. Right now they are prioritizing burning through the backlog of paper from 4s still outstanding from 2021. Once they get caught up on that, they’ll pick up the eForm 4s again. I don’t think filing a paper F4 today will get you faster service than an eForm.

it was 'tongue in cheek'. I suspect that soon the ATF may actually say no more paper. But as I noted in another thread if they add millions of more eforms to the queue then we are all doomed.

OK today's Nov. surprise courtesy of the ATF.
Eform1's. 9/5,10/4 and 10/5 all arrived today.
I'm pretty happy with that considering some of the numbers of days others have seen. I was a bit worried as I had submitted a question to "ask the experts" on a specific issue on these and never got a reply so just guessed on what to do. So it all turned out OK.
Now if my eF4's from 8 months ago come through I will be a happy camper for a bit.
If December brings brace registration all this will be a happy memory.

Submitted e-Form 4 through Silencer Shop 3/12/22. Approved 11/2/22. 235 days (7-months, 21-days). Dead Air Sandman-S.

My last remaining item in NFA jail. Hopefully I'll get some F1s out soon, once I get my fingerprint cards.



Will be submitting a F1 on the Ace soon, so I can install a heavy stock to balance out the can.

Hot damn. Hopefully my Modx-9 will be coming up in a week or two, then.
