Oi, just do what some folks here did and buy an NFA item (silencer is cheapest) every month. After a while you'll be taking possession of something pretty frequently.

Form 1 on a trust via SilencerShop (NOT EFORM):
Sent: 9/17
Cashed: 9/22
Approved: 12/3
In-Hand: 12/10
Believe me, no one is more surprised than me. That's, what, like 2.5-3 months door-to-door? Fastest I've ever heard of on a paper Form 1.

Wow, that's not bad. I know eForms have been rolling lately. SilencerShop did have an issue with their new e-Form 1 service where ATF rejected the first round of submissions because they wanted a box checked in a different manner, but for a paper e-Form that's awesome. Maybe with e-Forms running now they don't have as many new paper ones to deal with so they're catching up?
Bought a Kel-Tec SU-16D9 with a bit of my bonus money this year. I know it's not a KAC gun, but it's the ultra-light (< 5lbs) shorty rifle my heart has always desired, and it was only $530 shipped (plus transfer fee, plus NFA tax theft), so it was about the same price as a PLR-16 anyways, plus I'll get warranty support with it. Probably will go with a FF3 as an optic since I have a spare ADM mount lying around.
Doing the math here, unless there's some kind of radical break-through in wait times, I expect to see it around August 2019 (1 month for the form 3, 7 months for the form 4).

EDIT: 2 out of 2 approved.
Merry Christmas!

Me too. Just popped in and hearing about this eform stuff. What dat all about? What does it save in terms of effort (a.k.a. things to do) ?
(I see peeps still waiting upwards of 7 months doing them and then someone just said it could take two weeks???)

Holy shit, 1 week?!?! I may sbr a few things i had no intention of SBRing due to the quick turn around
It doesn’t really save anything other than wait time. You still have to do everything you would for paper forms except actually filling out paperwork as it’s all online. The only thing you have to mail to the ATF is your fingerprint cards. You still have to mail your CLEO copy as normal.
Check cashed: 1/26/18
Hit “FBI Background Check Hell” at some point.
Approved 12/18/18 using background check from eform1 after calling my examiner.
Early Christmas present
Form 4 individual, but transferring to my 03FFL(C&R)
Sent: ~4/10
Cashed: 4/25
Approved: 11/30
F4 received: 12/21
ATF actually messed up and sent me the approved Form 4 with the original tax stamp. It should have gone to the transferor. He called ATF and confirmed. They told him that it was approved and that they had messed up sending it to the wrong address. I sent the seller a PDF of the approved F4 to print out for shipping. All good. My "new...old" toy will be delivered next week.

They are not currently processing any forms during the shutdown.
Just received that info via email yesterday that they are running a limited staff.
Great....This shutdown could be the mother of all shutdowns too. If they cannot compromise in the next few weeks it'll be after inauguration in 2021.
