Because it's a needlessly convoluted bureaucracy with no incentives to expedite.
Cuz the fun things in life cost you time and money.Not complaining but just wondering why it takes so long to approve a form 4?
With all of the computer databases available to the Fed, you would think that it should'nt take more than a week or two.
Just wondering.
I'm sure this makes too much sense, but does the $200 tax go to the NFA office's budget? Or does it go to a general fund, from where it probably goes to pay interest on our foreign loans? You'd hope that an office that generates $X/year in taxes would be automatically eligible for up to $X/year toward their operating budget. I wonder what the cost of processing one of these forms is...About 2 yrs ago, they beefed up the staff.

With budget cuts all around, etc, should be interesting if the 4-6+ months become status
quo for now.
NFA wait time calculator. Given the date your check was cashed or the date your application went pending, info about what type of form you filed, etc, it gives you the probability of your stamp coming in future months. If you try the calculator, let me know if it gives you any trouble.
On a tangent, you all know about NFATracker.com, right? Share your NFA milestone dates there so others can get a sense of how long different processing times are. I downloaded the data, fit some statistical models to it, and turned it into an NFA wait time calculator.
Sorry if this is a double reply -- I thought I replied earlier, but I don't see it now.Why does it need to know the caliber? That's not relevant to the transfer time.

Caliber is there because an earlier version of the calculator was showing links to subsonic ammo and I wanted to narrow the links down to the right caliber. I should probably replace the "Caliber" drop down with one for "Inspector", which could figure into the calculation. I haven't yet done the math to see how significant the particular inspector is. Some people say it makes a difference.
Another time consuming thing is your finger prints go off to the FBI for processing and that takes time, another advantage of a trust.
