They're not that bad.....for the most part. Least most are getting them back in under 13 months

Still waiting on one from January 2018

efile form 1
trust w/ 1 RP
Submitted 6-13
Approved 7-31

Had an error on my form 1 and my examiner messaged me about it. Fixed the problem and mentioned the outstanding form 4 so she sent a message to that examiner, she had no real reason why it hadn't been processed but said since I've received forms submitted after that then there should be no reason for the hold up

The good ol days!

2013-2014 I had 2 that only took 2.5 months (but 3 weeks to mail back). Good ol days when trusts were quick

3x form 4 suppressors individual

cashed 10/2/18
approved 8/6/19

 

[Goodcat]

341 days since cashed on a form 4 trust. Come on..... any day now....

 

[M67]

And to think.....some see 6 months of waiting as painful....

My oldest outstanding stamp is back at last, after receiving several form 4s submitted months after this one, and 2 efile form 1s in the past 4 months. This is truly what it looks like when paperwork gets lost in someones file and sits there....and sits....and gets more crap thrown on it so it can sit some more.

Called numerous times.....ATF said the forms weren't lost but still waiting FBI approval and that's all the info they could give me.

587 days from send off until back in hand (painful 19 days from when it was approved to in hand)

1 responsible person on a trust....never had a correction notice sent out (didn't need one)....it was just lost in a black hole

Ooh excitement. Bought my suppressor (also a SiCo Hybrid) about a week after yours, check cashed on Jan 3rd. Can't be too long now

 

[dung]

I bought mine in Dec, but the check didnt get cashed Jan 22....I hope I am in the same boat.

I wouldn't get too excited. It's seems there's a 3 month divide on form 4 approvals. There's a few that's come back from late Nov and Dec, but majority of them are from late Sept into Oct. It's almost like someone knocked over a pile and when picked up they mixed them in with older forms

 

[tv1217]

Yeah I've been watching the approval threads on Reddit. It seems to be divided by whether it's a trust or individual, with the individuals being ahead.

MG transfer directly to my C&R license from an out-of-state dealer. Submitted Dec-20-2018, approved Sept-9-2019.
Now the wait begins for the UPS truck.

I'm assuming individual?

Yep, I think you read too fast and missed it in my post, I said F4 individual, lol
