And now for some good news...

It seems that the ATF NFA Branch has added staff. They are apparently up to 15 examiners (there were previously 10), hopefully the alleged 15 month wait time will drop?

Maybe they can get things moving. I still recall when they relocated to VA from DC and after a couple of months for the new people (who replaced the lazy ones that didn't want to drive out of DC) things sped up a bunch and times were down to a few months. Also wish their old tech branch boss was still there - he was a good guy who would give you a prelim yes/no over the phone on approval letters and even explained the whys if it was going to be a no and how he might accomplish the desired result.

Could anyone tell me wait times under the previous administration vs the current one? Also the number of employees and number of submitted forms is a factor. I'd like to get all those numbers and do a comparison. I'd love to know if there's a big difference between the two. I'll submit the facts to my congressman. May not do much, but if they are taking our money ($200 a pop), I'd say we have some reasonable expectations legally.
