Thundercat97 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 My 1919A4 paper was picked up this past weekend. It was approved on Jan 10, 2013 and the ATF cashed my check on Jul 23, 2012.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmagee1917 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I feel that if MGs became available again , the price on all of them would fall big time. Between 1987-88 ish and 2000-ish , 1919A4s went from $2250 to $2500 and just about ALL others did likewise ( as far as increases ) . If something was too much higher , people passed . 1917s and 1941 JLMs were about $3500. After 2000 when 1919 sideplates dried up , they went through the roof and the rare ones were "uncapped" .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I sent my Thompson paperwork in 6 months ago today (I've been counting the days, obviously). Am disappointed to read samnev's post. Does anyone have an idea how long the ATF is taking these days? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lone Ranger Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Roughly 6-7 months and increasing. The "evil" sequestor - not a budget cut but a reduction in the amount of spending increase from FY12 - resulted in elimination of overtime. Number of pending applications recently surpassed 40k. Allegedly the much talked about hiring of examiners is proceeeding since it was in progress before the reduction of spending increase hit. No idea on an ETA yet or a true "net gain number" and productivity will decrease short term as new people are brought up to speed. Not to mention if the influx continues to go up as it has since about 2006, it may end up being a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwiifirearms Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I sent paperwork Oct 29, 2012 and the stamp arrived May 16, 2013.That was in-state, dealer to trust on form 4, Machinegun.6.5 months. You should be in the "any day now" phase.-Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Put in a Form 4 end of February.Spoke to NFA today.They recieved it 3-11-13It went pending 5-13-13. The guy at NFA section said it should be approved by November. That is a little more than 6 months. More like 8 months. Sort of like waiting for the wife to have the baby.Important thing is,Uncle Sugar got the check ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lone Ranger Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 It's going to get worse and soon. One of the casulaties of the non-spending cut reduction in the rate of growth sequester was OT for the examiners. As I write this there are over 43,000 pending transfers and volume of incoming continues to increase. If the current trend continues, the number of forms received this FY will be 210-230k.

Chief762 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Chief, Give it 2-3 more weeks. I bet you will be celebrating the Fourth of July with it.Yeah, you're probably right. That's what the dealer thinks, also. Hey, some good news for our Louisiana NFA folks...HB277 passed in the LA Senate. The bill eliminates the State Police involvement in the NFA application process. Bobby Jindal will sign it into law, I'm sure. If signed the law would take effect by August. How about that! Chief762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoscoeTurner Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 That is good news. After my first experience transferring a NFA firearm out of Louisiana I have avoided any further such transfers. It was a royal pain dealing with the Louisiana State Police NFA drill. Chief,Give it 2-3 more weeks. I bet you will be celebrating the Fourth of July with it.Yeah, you're probably right.

Chief762 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Finally got an approval on my Form4 for the WH Thompson! In 3 weeks it would've been a year since I made the deal. It was a 2 stamp deal. It was approved 6 days short of 6 months from pending. Who does ATF send the stamp to? The dealer or the transferee? Chief762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) It's been 7 months and 16 days since we signed and mailed the form 4 and still no tax stamp. I had really expected to have it by now. I found the ATF phone number and gave them a call. Was told that it's still pending and should be completed within the next 30 days, so transfer times are indeed creeping up. Mine's looking like it will be 8+ months. But at least I can finally start to count down the days, and there will still be plenty of summer left to enjoy the new Thompson.

Chief762 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I received my tax stamp on July 8th. The form 4 went pending on Jan 7th. So 6 months + a day. Picked up my gun(WH 1928) from my dealer yesterday, so I'm pretty doggone happy today. Pictures will be posted soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
