    You should be able to log in and print it out. For e-filed they don't send a physical stamp.



    Guess I also need get it engraved now too

    Better safe than sorry since everyone has an opinion on it should or should not be.

    Yes.

    The email that they sent you telling you that it was approved will have a pdf attachment of the approved Form 1 with the stamp on it. That's all you get with an e-file. You never get a piece of paper or an actual stamp.

    Form 4 Suppressor
    CC processed 5/16/16
    approved 2/2/2017
    Stamp in shop 2/27/17

    9 months 14 days. Just outrageous. Almost a month between approval and the arrival of the stamp, equally outrageous.
    What do YOU do for a living? When you finish a project, a job, a report does it take you a month to send it out?

    Just got my can from Engage today, I think they batch mailed based on our check/card & approval dates, I much prefer when I can send it myself and get tracking. Can is awesome and Engage was really easy to deal with (minus Brutus humping my leg).

    Purchased: 5/11/16
    Paperwork: 5/18/16 (First NFA purchase, needed to get trust done)
    Check cashed: 5/31/16
    Approved: 2/19/17

    Crazy to think but I submitted an individual suppressor form 4 at the beginning of September 2015 & had my stamp back before the end of November ... 2015!

    Will it ever be like that again?

    In a few years. Maybe.

    The checks on my last two were cashed the first week of July. I'm expecting them in April. If I'm lucky.

    Once they finally catch everything up to July 14, do you think times will speed up? I'm guessing that is when the mad rush ended.

    I'm guessing yes for a short period of time . Then they will let go all of there temp help and back to super slow !

    Right now it looks like 8-10 months. At best, I've seen in the last 2 years is 4 months, most going 5-6 months. But it's worth the wait.
