For all of you that wish to File a Form 1 online through the atf, sorry for the news

So if I submitted mine last week, I am to assume that no further action is required on my part...correct?
The news isn’t all doom and gloom, though. The ATF has reportedly secured new funding to scrap their (brand new, very expensive) eForms system and replace it with another brand new one that actually might work. They’re reportedly reaching out to people in the industry for help this time, so hopes are high that a new, re-designed system might actually work and shave time off of form processing.
just make sure you have a submission notification and payment notification.
Why is it so difficult for these guys to get functioning software? Seriously... I do this stuff for a living. It's not that hard if you know what you're doing. Oh wait, I guess I just answered my own question.
Haven't heard a peep yet. I'm hoping ATF follows up with an ETA at some point.
its going to be months, at least, for them to rebuild a whole new system.
unfortunately I think you are right.
So I've got three items waiting for me at my GS. My dilemma is, do I try to wait out the eform? Or do I just do it the old fashioned (paper) way?
Im theory, it is worth waiting 4 or 5 months for the eforms to come back up again, given how much faster it is vs the paper way. But it might take longer than 4 or 5 months, and God only knows what might happen in the meantime to make things morw difficult to purchase NFA items.
Decisions, decisions!
