I'm still waiting on a F4, with a trust, from the same time.

Waiting on a Form 4 from 6/12/18. Not expecting it until late March or early April.

I have a Efilr Form 1 Trust in since 12/2/2018. Yet many come back in short order. Calling them goes nowhere. Containing elected officials didn't rate a reply.

Found this today. Sounds like the ATF has their own issues.

Called today again... approved Monday 3/4.

Update: Mail was quick so I have it in hand 3/9. 11 mo. from mailing, 10 mo. from check cashed. I think I’m done with Form 4’s for a while. Maybe I’ll do an e-file Form 1 for my next suppressor and make something cool.

What happened to our hopes and dreams of the new administration making this process more streamlined?

I think a lot of that was the president trying to defend himself from a witch hunt ... and now the verdict is in. Prior to yesterday democrats thought Muller sat at the right hand of Jesus and could almost walk on water. Today, 2.5 years over 25 million dollars later ... not so much.

The only thing that comes to my mind is Elsa's song(from the movie Frozen)... Let it go, let it go, LET IT GO!

I don’t think the probe had a single thing to do with it. The simple fact is that speeding up the NFA process is nowhere on Trump’s radar, just like the HPA wasn’t either. There is absolutely zero indication that now that the probe is over, he’ll suddenly go pro 2A and direct the ATF to speed things up.

I think the most realistic scenario is that the ATF simply adds Form 4 to the eForms process on their own, which I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

Did I miss something, are eform 1's back on line?

When the eform 1 went off line a couple years ago I decided "no more NFA for me, 25 stamps are enough" ... then I came across a F/A M-11 and decided 26 is a nice round number

The truth is I really don't like braces, although I own a few ... the SB and Tail Hook look okay are great for people in states that don't allow SBR but Kansas is okay with anything NFA.
Now that I've gone over my "limit" I might as well SBR my 10/22. There's a couple more I'd like to SBR but off hand I can't think of what they are ... My new limit is 30 ... and it's a "nice round number"

Curse you Andyb for taunting me about "my limit"!

... if you don't you'll find an excuse.

Very cool, thanks Dwill104!
I've been so focused on my Baja restoration since October that I haven't been paying attention ... plus, that's where all my fun money has been going!

Three Form 4's, two submitted together May 18 and the other June 18, back at the dealer two days ago. Used a trust.

Called ATF today.
Been waiting since 1/11/18
Got the same old message about pending FBI.
Then the lady said “hmm since you’ve been waiting over a year, do you wanna talk to your examiner?”
sure why not?!

So the guy picks up and tells me basically the same stuff - pending FBI - nothing he can do.
However he also tells me that the FBI backlog is so bad right now that it will likely be another few months before mine sees the light of day.

I’ve been told by a friend that some folks are talking to their senators/congressmen to get a fire lit under the FBI - with good results.
He says he’s heard the same - but can not confirm.
He then gave me my FBI NTN (nics transaction number) which would be needed if I was going to pursue that route.
Called one of my senators today and left a voice mail for the person who handles that type of stuff.

Spoke more with the Senator office that same day.
Had to sign a waiver form to let them go to bat with the FBI for me.

After about 3 weeks got an email back from them saying basically "ok we spoke with the FBI - your form was approved by them - it's moving on to the ATF now"
Called ATF today - 3 business days after FBI said ok... ATF approved the stamp.
Now I just need to wait on the USPS.
14 months from submission to approval - and only after I tossed a senator at them.
This is absurd.

This is where my signature goes.

That is FUCKING absurd ... if I remember correctly you have other NFA items as well.

I still feel that after we get our first stamp we should have a card or something so they run a NIC's check to make sure there is nothing new on our record and just give us our stamp/item.
We, the ones applying and adhering to the law aren't the criminals!
