current ATF wait time

[Mega]

Yeah I have two stripped lowers in the safe i am thinking of regerstering at least one of them as an SBR.

Got to have at least one SBR in your inventory.

Yeah I got one on a Form 1 in the pipeline now. Hopefully approved by X-Mas. Just debating on whether i want a second one registered as an SBR or not.

If one is good, two is better. Just sayin.

Too true.

I may have a build change on my Frank-N-Build 9mm. Will take a pic as soon as it arrives.

Forget ATF wait times. GEmtech wait times are really starting to urk me. I have 4 different answers from three different people and what was suppose to already be in is now possibly another two weeks out.

Was hoping to get this Form 4 done BEFORE the next Silencer Shoot.

You guys should check out NFA tracker if you don't already. My examiner is Ann Felter, and someone who went pending 2 weeks before me just got approved last week. Most examiners appear to be just getting forms that went pending in the middle of May, but some are already into late June.

NFA Tracker is way off now. Most approvals seem to be running 5+ months, but there's no rhyme or reason. I called about my Form 4 because the Form 1 that was sent in with it together got approved on 8/29. I was told it was still at least another month out before it crossed his desk. They must be slammed.

Um, well I followed my examiner on NFA tracker, and people with a F4 using a trust that went pending around a week before me got approved about a week before me. You must follow your specific examiner.

I understand that. Lately, they seem to be off as the wait times increase. I followed my examiner and by their calculations, I should have had my approval by now, but I'm still a month out. I guess he's the one not following NFA Tracker...

 

[Kingjamez]

What calculations are on NFA tracker and what does " following " mean? If you track your examiner, it is correct, by definition.

 

[ar15dave]

So far I have seen 5 1/2 Weeks to 5 1/2 months. Figure I will see the paperwork when it arrives or check every month or so ater the first 3 months. Watched pot never boils, as they say.

"Following" was an attempt at levity meaning the examiner wasn't where NFA Tracker says he "should" be. NFAT is showing my examiner at 60 days from pending to approval. I'm already 100 days from pending with another month or so go probably. Since the increased delays seem to be recent (probably in part due to their reorganization) it will likely take a few months for NFA Tracker to reflect the increased time.

So you are telling me that other people who went pending with the same examiner as you and using the same method(individual vs trust) are approved and you are not. The real test would be if someone with the same examiner and method who went pending after you was approved.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm simply saying the wait times seem to be increasing lately and the NFAT times are not as accurate as they were previously.

Something is not adding up here. How can you possibly be 100 days out, with NFA tracker showing 60 days average, and no one who applied after you has been approved? That simply can not be.

I used NFA tracker today to great effect. I had been monitoring similar Form 4's to mine and noted that a few who went in a week before mine, were received last week. So I decided to be a little more patient, and not 2 hours after consulting NFAT did Mark at 2A sales call to say my Form 4 was back and I could pick up my suppressor tomorrow. Yahoo!

Glad you got your approval. I didn't say no one who applied after me has been approved, although that would make me feel better. I would have no way to have the data to make such a statement.

When did yours go Pending if you dont mind me asking?

 

[rcpd34]

And who was your examiner?

 

[Bigpapa]

The end of next week will be 3 months and still waiting, form 4 , trust, examiner - Shipman.

 

[Kingjamez]

My examiner was Ann Feltner and I don't know when it went pending but my check was cashed on May 17th. Pretty much on par for Ann's normal turn around times.

 

[Flipz]

Was this for your Osprey? I still have another month or so to wait. Mine has been Pending for 2.5 months at this point. Cant wait to get that phone call from Mark!
