DZelenka Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 I just received a January 27, 2020 submission on a suppressor for a Trust customer. It was approved on June 26th. I am waiting for an M16A2 to transfer on a Form 4 to my license. It was filed March 31, 2020. That seems to be a long time for a transfer to a dealer. I also noticed that eForm3s are taking about a week rather than overnight.Is the Colt M16A1, the same that’s posted on Strumgewehr today? If it’s one in the same. Cool. We’ve been waiting since 4/17 as pending for a Form 4 transfer to our SOT. All was mailed in by the transferor 4/2. DavidIt is (It is actually an M16A2). It is a beautiful gun with very little wear. I have it on GunBroker for $1,000 more to make up for their fees, but I expect it to sell from one of the boards. I will tell you something that is ridiculous. I sold an M16 to a non-dealer individual the same week that I bought the M16A2. He received his stamp the same week I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifthmdec Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 It is indeed a nice M16A2. Looks like I’ll use your Form 4 time frame as the unit of measure. We’re at a few days over 4 months from it going pending with an examiner assigned to it. At your previous post, I figured approval at 5-6months A couple of years ago, we had an incoming Form 4 MP40 bring back at 33days from pending. Post Covid seems to have created a backlog.

Hopalong Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Form4 trust Cashed 4-8-20Approved 8-21-30 4.5 months!!!! Amazing how it dropped from 10 months to 4.5 months in such a short time. What happened ??? I mailed my Form 4 Individual on June 12, 2020, and BATF's records show it as accepted on 06/17/20 and in pending status. I asked the call agent if he had a ballpark figure on approval - he said they're averaging seven months. I would obviously be a lot happier at 4.5 months.

Porschedog Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 It took almost exactly a year from Thanksgiving 2018 to Thanksgiving 2019 to,get the stamp for a suppressor. I used a trust to purchase it. One of the guys at my club recently “built” his can; he received the stamp in just over a month.that will have you looking at drill presses at Harbor Freight!

83Baron Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Looks like I just beat the curtain call No but it seems that the wait times are pretty favorable. I have an Individual form 4 went that went pending 9/15/2020, and it was just approved on 1/18/2021. I still have the snail mail wait but hopefully others are seeing similar times. Just an update, the stamp arrived at my dealer on 2/2 so just a hair over two weeks from approval to receipt. It is a nice surprise since the ATF said it could be upwards of 60 days to receive from approval. Edited February 5, 2021 by 83Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy artillery Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I certainly hope transfer times won't slow down. My most recent approved transfer went pending on 11Sep20 and was approved on 4Jan21. I received the stamp on 16 Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
