    Just going off the control number. I'm assuming they are sequential. When I did 2 form1s back in January they were 3 apart. Now the one I just did is 173k apart :whoa:

    Question: On the line on your disapproval notice where it gave the reason for the disapproval, was there also the name and email of your reviewer in the same font and color ? That's where I got my reviewer's name and email from.

    Negatory. I called the main number and asked who my reviewer was since I couldn't make out the name from the signature and it's not printed anywhere. They gave me his name and transferred me to him so we spoke directly.

    First he told me that my new app would go to the back of the line, then he said "Oh, you did an e-file, those are way faster." Yeah idiot, 4 months is blazing fast :rolleyes:

    Mine had a box at the bottom with a reason and "China Watkins" email address.

    Resubmit and send Ted Clutter an email. You have nothing to lose.

    yup, that's what I did this morning. Hopefully it works out. If I have to wait, so be it. I don't have the funds to actually build out the lower and purchase an sbr length upper right now anyway.

    Don't get discouraged. I once sent a resub and an email to Mr. Clutter and actually screwed up the resub:o. I put my self in the back of the line after that one. I learned a lesson from the wife today(retired Fed-38 years), always have someone else proof your submission before you send it in. If you don't have someone, wait til the next day and proof it yourself.:thumbsup: I should listen to her more often.:rolleyes:

    Stamp was approved on 5/20 but possibly lost in the mail... My ffl said he's gonna call on Monday about getting a replacement one sent out. I hope this isn't gonna be a thing with dealing with this ffl. I still have 2 more suppressors that I had sent to him and awaiting stamps

    Hell yeah. Just approved my new app. Got the email at 11pm. Took less than 6 hours :rockon:

    Was it Ted Clutter?

    It sure seems, from the point of view of someone who's never even been near Martinsburg, that he's the one guy in that whole building who gives a crap about his job, and actually goes out of the way to help people out.

    God save us if he ever gets promoted or decides to retire.

    Now if they'd just get around to approving my Form 4 from the first week of January...

    Since you are moving, what do you have to do for the stuff you have pending?

    I don't have anything pending anymore.

    Although I am going to do 1 form1 suppressor and 1 9mm lower before the deadline. Obviously they won't be built for several months after approval and I've already moved. So I guess I'll do a permanent transfer form before building.

    Atf says it can take up to 4 weeks for them to mail it out. I have seen it take up to 6 weeks in the past. But it worth a call. My last 1 took 3 weeks before I received it.
