    If the line didn't require an answer, I did not answer.

    BTW, just to be clear, I did the online Form 1, not a paper form. I have a trust. Makes is MUCH more simple.

    Three weeks and a day or two turn around.
    Holy hell....

    I think I will be cancelling my paper form 1 and resubmitting via e-file.
    Anyone else cancel and resubmit?

    I called and they said to mail copy of form 1 and letter explaining why, so I did. This was for an SBR which I may just keep it a pistol with the Sig-Tac brace, Anyone have a reason I might want the SBR stamp and stock?

    This evening I received this email from ATF eForms:
    ATF is pleased to announce the return of the following eForms to active service: ATF Form 5 on 8/27/2014, ATF Form 9 on 9/2/2014, and ATF Form 5300.11 (AFMER) on 9/5/2014.

    Please note that at this time no date has been determined for the return of the ATF Forms 3 and Form 4 to service on the current platform. In the interim, ATF has devoted additional resources to paper forms processing within the NFA Branch to augment the volume of receipts and current pending applications.

    Maybe you guys with paper form 4s will get 'em faster.

    The advantage to the trust is not having to add the time for LEO sign off.

    But I have heard of 5 - 7 month returns on Form 4s on another forum.

    Here's hoping.

    My Form 4 (non trust) for my SBR took 8 months and two weeks including a two week delay because BATFE wanted to see the receipt from Engage for my pre Oct 1 lower, even though the OAL was 30".

    what a load.

    Right now eForms does not do Form 4s at all. Maybe around the first of the year.

    Of course, my cans will be in limbo on paper forms, when the eForms Form 4 comes back online and take 3 weeks. :)

    I guess I will just have to buy some more then. :)
