How do you get updates?
I purchased a pistol within the last month and want to purchase another, I was told that not only do I have to wait the mandatory 30 days but also the extra 7 days. Is this true a total of 37 days between purchases ?
Check mailed to ATF on 9/3/10
Check cashed on 9/8/10
Pending on 9/22/10
Approved 12/2/10
Can in hand 12/6/10
Been waiting since July on the stamp for my can.
Noob question but what does it mean to go "pending" when your waiting for an NFA item ?
I believe it means it has been assigned to a reviewer and you have about two months left to wait.
Call the NFA division of ATF at 304-616-4500. Tell them you want to check on the status of a form 1 or form 4, depending upon what you have in the system. They will ask for the serial number and then your name. They can then tell you the status.
If you called your dealer in mid-July and ordered a can that he didn't have in stock, a mid-December stamp-in-hand would not be unreasonable (assuming you went through the MSP and didn't use a trust).

That looks like a lot of work!
A Quicken willmaker trust is way eaisier. I've normally been getting approved in 5-6 weeks.
