NFA Tracker - Current wait time estimator for NFA submissions

[Teacher Todd]

Dammit!
I'm still waiting on forms submitted/check cashed in December 2018!!
Oh well, congrats on your new arrival.

I have an SBR stamp sent the same time so it will be interesting to see its time frame. Hopefully yours comes through. I swear they knocked a stack on the floor and just through them in a pile. Seems things are coming back out of order if you watch the timelines.

I just came across an interesting part of the NFA for people who register new acquisitions with a Trust. Are you aware that if you have had a stamp approved in the last 24 months you are not required to send a copy of the trust? I didn't either. If you go to this site there if a form generator.

Fill in the short form, hit submit button, and they send you an email of your completed ATF compliant letter that goes with your application in lieu of the trust. It appears the critical information is the date of the last stamp approval and the 'serial #' on the stamp. This eliminates the examiners need to spend a lot of time looking for minor imperfections in the trust.

Form 4 individual right?

Dead Air stuff is awesome. Their Key-Mo is fantastic. I've taken my Sandman S out twice now and it was worth every penny I paid.

Given the fast return on yours, mine may be coming quicker than I expected.

Yup.
Done on the Silencershop Kiosk at Brimstone.

Just submitted a form 4 from sIlencershop. Fingerprints yesterday. I got my fingers crossed I can be one of the lucky to get it in under 4 months.
just seen a guy that got 9 out of 10 stamps in 67 days.

 

[Jcon268]

Yep I had no anticipation of getting another can for awhile but after hearing about the wait times I had to so I'm about 2 weeks in.

 

[WildBills-AR]

Fastest I have ever got one was about 5 months and that was 2015. In 2016/2017 it took 13 months.

Well, I purchased 2 cans back in November that I am still waiting on. This was a pleasant surprise. I ordered a YHM later in July so I'm hoping that one will come home in a week or two. Fingers crossed...

Yeah the consensus seems to be that July was the start of the new form processing so anything before that will be the slow track and anything newer is on the "fast" track.

FYI - This pic was a repost from SiCo. But I have seen about 10 posts in the past week claiming 4.5 months or under.

Interesting picture.....
The examiner did not write the serial number on the stamp?
Or is this mocked up to not show the serial numbers?

 

[Lazyfaire]

Sigh!

Not sure but I have received stamps without the info or serial number on them, I thinks it's just a different way? Or the examiner. Who knows? I asked my Lawer about it he had seen it too and said it was fine. Sometimes they write around the stamp itself too.

I kept hearing about it going faster these days and it looks like its true for more recently submitted stuff at least

 

[Jcon268]

Does anyone have even a remote idea of how many people at BATFE are processing these Forms? Tens? Hundreds? (joking)

 

[ACO]

I heard very few before, but kind of sub-contracted out now to more people.
