Efile Form 4 approval time. less than 24 hours

[Sandman1957]

Not sure if this is becoming more common or just a fluke.

I just had an E-File Form Four on a Winchester 1918 BAR in a little less than 24 hours.  Submitted on the 17th and approved on the 19th!  Never had that happen before!

Approved on the 18th.  Picked it up today on the 19th.  Trying to type too fast, regrets.

I am a dealer. In my experience, E-File F4 to an individual usually takes a week or less (in most cases). In many cases, it takes less than 48 hours... Efile F4 to a Trust can take a little longer (usually 2-6 weeks or so). Still, a vast improvement of the 12+ months it use to take!

I did an efile trust Form 4 a couple of weeks ago, took 4 days.

Call me old school, but I think we should be getting an actual stamp for the transfer tax.  This could be by request after receiving the e-form.  We are paying for that stamp.

 I love the fast times, don’t get me wrong there.  I just prefer having the actual stamped form and not a facsimile with an image that represents the stamp.

Ya baby! I got another toy on the way in and can't wait.

[Sandman1957]

Jim, thank you!   Its been a long time.  I'm having to do some work on it.  Was owned by a movie prop company.  It has seen some hard use. but should make a great shooter!  Will post pictures later on once I have had a chance to "fix" some things.  Here are a few of the ones they sent me, when I purchased it.

Thanks, 

Steve

Congrats on your BAR. I just had a couple of E From 4s approved in less than 48 hours. Submitted on the evening of June 23 and approved around 6.30 am June 25.

Submitted for my m1a1 Monday evening. Fingers crossed for that approval before the weekend!

You guys are making envy here, my dealer helped me do a E file form 4 last week on a BRP SMG.

Had to send the fingerprint forms in separately, but tracking them, it shows they received them.

Now I can only hope.

Thanks  Moose

The last efiile Form 4 I did where I mailed the cards took about 2 weeks, so don't give up hope.  I was amazed since it takes at least a week for the PO to deliver mail anywhere now.

[Rekraps]

Bill, you have connections!

[Moose1]

Bill in Bama-       Good news.         The suppressor was just approved today.     Now for the BRP

Thanks Moose

Not a fluke! My latest Form 4 (trust) was approved in 5 calendar days!

[Moose1]

The BRP was approved in 10 days.    Wow.    You guys were correct.  I was used to the year long wait.     

Hmmm, maybe I should find another toy.  Who cares if I only eat once a week.

Thanks guys

Moose
