Official ATF efile notice

[ORhutner]

I am not surprised. Just happy they are trying to get into the 21st century.

Anyone else unable to get signed in to the Eforms? Followed there directions and won't allow me to sign in to my account, ffs.

I'm going to let it settle for a few weeks before I even try to file anything.

I just created my account.

 

[ORhutner]

Followed the directions yesterday without issue.

 

[vanlab]

Anyone file on new system yet?

 

[broncman]

Followed the directions yesterday without issue.

Just my luck that I will need to contact the Help Desk to straighten everything out.....

You did a "Forget Password" to reset your password correct? Doing so gets you an email with temporary password that you use to log into the new system and change to whatever password to your liking.

Did all that and tells me I need to contact the help desk ....guess Monday I will call and see what the issue is.

I ran into the same problem and got the message to call. I called and got another PW from them.

I was having problems putting a new PW after getting the temp PW.

The problem for me was that I wasn't meeting the requirements for the new PW (having a uppercase letter and symbol.) if you've been inputting a new PW w/o these, you should try again with those added.

On the new PW page it doesn't mention those requirements needed for your PW.

Good luck. Hope this helps.

OMFG.....I added a symbol at the beginning and end of the password I wanted and it went thru no problem. Thanks for your help!!

I was told by my suppressor dealer that the ATF has 275,000 paper form 4s in backlog. Somehow they will have to get rid of those bc everyone will be using the newer forms. What that process will be? Who knows.

 

[SonicBlue03]

They're still working them in parallel. And they'll always have paper Form 4's because of idiot dealers like Threat Dynamics.

I think the positive side of this is that paper forms should be moving faster to clear the backlog, and then the eforms should also have a faster turnaround too.

I sincerely hope so. I just feel bad for people who will still go through idiot dealers like Threat Dynamics.

I just wish the ATF could get this whole process as streamlined as the NICS background checks. For whatever reason, I always get instantly approved when I submit my 4473s, so I always find myself wondering why other ATF forms take so long (unless it's a deliberate move to dissuade people from purchasing NFA items).

Deliberate, same as OSP staffing the five people or whatever to type your info into the NICS system. Your time and your money is more government jobs.
