NFA wait times

Submitted paper Form 4 and the check was cashed in January. I was told by BATF I could expect my stamp in FEBRUARY.

Thats what I was afraid of. I have made 3 NFA apps in the last 3 years. Everyone took longer than the previous one. I sent 3 form 4s in March and the Checks were cashed Apr 15. I bet I don't see an approval for a year now. I think this is deliberate to discourage NFA sales. Credit card companies, and health care transactions go through in minutes or days. NFA transactions shouldn't take any longer. Even with a mandatory wait like 3 months for C&R, it should be much shorter. But I'm sure you heard this before.

I have submitted 5 paper forms (both 1s and 4s) over the past 2 years and every one of them has been between 8-9 months. My most recent was submitted early November and approved mid July.

I had my paper form 4 signed on Jan 28, 2014, check cashed on Feb 7, 2014, approved Aug 3, 2014, TiRant in my hands Aug 6, 2014. Exactly six months, which I think is reasonable.

I might think that is reasonable too ... Except my first 2 Form 1's were back in less than 60 days; this was as recent as January 2009 ... I think it outrageous, but not as bad as my last one that took 337 days, only 28 days short of a year!

If you really want something you'll find a way ...
... if you don't you'll find an excuse.

I'm really not a "kid" anymore ... but I haven't grown up yet either

If it was paper, its far more likely that it'll be an awesome Easter gift.

Gemtech Trek T. Paper form 4 submitted on 5/1/14. Received stamp at my dealer today, 9/29/14.

When I sent it off I thought for certain it would be next year before I received it.

I created a new trust yesterday, and e-filed aForm 1 on the same day. Paid with a CC. We'll see how it goes.

Since July, Trust Form 1s have had a wait time of about four weeks.

I'm at 33 days right now on a Form 1 Trust eFile. Every time my phone beeps that I received an email I get my hopes up only to be let down. Hopefully it won't be long now!

The emails usually come at like 6am.

10?

Holy crap. I'd hate to have to pay that bill.

I'm sure they'll have fun now though.

I have great customers who appreciate quietness. And I miscounted. It was 12 form 4s for 5 customers

Good thing too, the NFA safe is getting full and there's more inbound.

Have you gone out to the eFile system to check? I actually didn't get an email for one of my Form 1's, but when I checked on the system it showed complete.
