NFA wait times
I did 2 form 4's on the 3rd and one form 4 on the 4th early. During the day I could not get the forms to come up.

I got all three back in less than five days. (Was just notified of the one from the 4th today.)

Nice.

Certified my eForm at lunch and the gun store was pleasantly surprised no issues, no glitches, and it went through first try. Which he said definitely has not been the case lately.

Same for me today. An eForm 4 via Silencer Shop. We were both very surprised.

Just got a response that silencer shop has OKd my form 1. Now I have to certify via atf……except there’s no one working there as it’s 2100 central time (atf is eastern time).

So I guess I gotta wait till the morning and play the submit refresh game till it gets accepted.

Tried it and after an hour it was verified and accepted.

So now I wait

The eForms nonsense isn’t quite behind us. I went to certify a Form 4 with Capitol Armory yesterday, and did the PIN dance for a full half hour before it finally went through.

But, on the bright side, I submitted two Form 1s on the second. Both came back today.

Did you receive an email?

I have been hearing people say the email system is not working right, but that just people talking.

My FFL said they won't call, so I guess I'll have to give them a shout. Plus, the ATF website didn't have my processing number, didn't show anything

When I was getting my own tax stamps before I was an FFL/SOT, I got the eForms emails each time a stamp was approved, even for a MG on a Form 4 and had to go through another SOT.

My suppressor was submitted about 30 minutes ago. Hoping to get to pick it up in the next week or so. We’ll see.

Waiting on a Form 1 submitted 1/8 and a Form 4 submitted on 1/15. Put in another Form 1 this morning. Hoping that it might kickstart a batch approval.

My form 4 was approved today, submitted Jan 19th. I was expecting a much longer wait with the deluge of submissions but I’m pleasantly surprised.

Got a call from my LGS today saying my Form 4 was approved, but never got the email myself. A lot of people have been reporting this happening recently. Actually approved yesterday, but still no email, and not in spam folder either, so had to have them print out my copy. Still nothing on the Form 1 submitted a week before this one was submitted, but at least I can check those myself.
