BillinBama Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 I just received the approved form 4 on a suppressor I did in December of last year, slightly less than 8 months. The last two were 9 months, so things are moving in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted August 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 I made a big dump of 13 (big for me) Form 4's in June, I'll be interested to see how long they take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 You lost the month of June to the deluge of SBR Form 1s that were filed just before the May 31 cutoff date so figure on 9-10 months. IIRC at some point in the last couple of months I did a status check on my Form above and was told they were averaging 270 days which would tend to confirm that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillinBama Posted August 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2023 Yeah, Scott, I'll call them up and tell them what a good guy you are and to put you first in line, I'm sure my influence will get approvals within days. I'll tell them the 'big guy' said do it. (rolling my eyes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyboy Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Just received two E Form 4’s that were both submitted on January 8th. 7 months total. A third e-filed form 4 submitted on July 14th was unfortunately not batched with the other two like frequently occurs with paper forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyboy Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 It’s crazy to think that 7 months is considered lucky these days but it’s better than the year plus I hear others talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APEXgunparts Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 (edited) Today I was notified that my E-Form 4 that I filed on 10 October was approved. That is just shy of 5 months, or 177 days. Last one was 6 months. Both were done with .EFT filed fingerprints. At the ATF meeting at the Shot Show the NFA division head did promise that the processing times were going down as they got more staff trained.

StrangeRanger Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Even if the he addition of the .eft files didn't shorten the process they are still the biggest improvement in years just for the reduced hassle in filing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APEXgunparts Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 So, funny story. Today had me quite tied down at work, so much so that at lunch time I didn't head over to my transferring dealer to collect the above mentioned approved transfer. At days end I noticed another e-mail from the NFA branch with another approval! This was another form 4 that I had completely e-filed ( with .EFT files, etc ) on 09/28/2023. It was approved 02/02/2024, that is just 128 days. So, the NFA division chief does seem to be making processing faster. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Well I am in the process of doing an efile. Let's see how long this takes. Last paper form I did was about 14 months, and that approval was Christmas time 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
