Frank Iannamico Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 The examiners have worked from home for years.The first time I visited the NFA branch, in 2010, I asked my sponsor-host if I could take a group photo of the examiners; there was only one there. The cubicles were all empty, he then told me that they work from home several days a week. As I recall they started doing that back when fuel prices really skyrocketed That is why is will sometimes see forms approved on weekends and holidays. I had a form approved on the 4th of July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If MG prices do not fall then I will put the cash in the stock market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggytree Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I wondered if they worked from home as many of mine have been approved on weekends. Interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 what if an examiner took a pile of forms home to work on and ther dog ate them ?? just wondering It would be the same as the old days when we used to fax in form 3's and the fax paper spool fed into the shredder. They were early adopters on the whole green/ recycling thing at NFA branch. I still have some thermal paper here somewhere near some of my crispy irradiated forms during the ricin thing.

DZelenka Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I picked up a good looking Colt M16A2 yesterday at a pretty good deal. Unfortunately, it was on a Form 4 so I'll be waiting for a couple months. If anything else comes along at a right price, I would certainly look at it.

johnsonlmg41 Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 I mailed one 3/2 and the check posted 3/10, but times have changed? I may pick up a license in 8 months and resubmit it to clear in a day, because this whole thing has gotten out of hand. There is no logical reason form 3's clear in a day or two and form 4's are pushing a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no logical reason form 3's clear in a day or two and form 4's are pushing a year? Well, with an eForm 3, there is no background check. All they have to do is make sure both licenses are valid and the SOT is paid and they can approve. Also, there is no time wasted mailing something to Oregon and then shipping it ot West Virginia. Beware though, if you get and FFL and SOT, you may have more of a propensity to impulse buy. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense at all It's a privilege that costs $500 per year. Seems cheap to me, especially since it gets paid for through profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
