Poprivit Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I just had an interesting experience regarding a Form 4 transfer. I mailed the paperwork via Priority Mail to the NFA on Dec. 20. They got it Dec. 23. Now, that should mean that the 90 days are up - right? WRONG! A quick phone call to them and this conversation ensued. Me: "But you recieved the paperwork on Dec. 23." Them: "We don't start counting the 90 day period until the paperwork goes 'Pending.' Yours didn't go pending until Jan. 14, so we have until April 14 to process the Form 4." However, they cashed the Postal Money Order on Dec. 26! I guess they just took a long Christmas vacation. I also guess these people aren't answerable to anyone, especially us low-life dangerous, killer, evil gun owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 You did well. I mailed two Form 4s on Dec 9. Checks cashed Dec 15 but did not go pending till Jan 7. Be patient. They'll eventually be processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSMGguy Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 Happiness may be not having any Forms 4 in the mill. I regularly email a guy in Florida who has three pending at once. I don't envy him the heartburn, but he's in for a great day when the approvals come. He's bought an MP40, MP44, and M1A1 TSMG. Talk about being bitten by the bug! He has no other Class III guns. He's hot on the trail of a M1928A1 now, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
