Omega in ATF jail

Has anyone heard if the ATF has started processing the barcode form 4s yet? I know they had a backlog to clean up first.

Thanks

When filing my form 4 the dealer reported that the barcode takes off at most 48 hours. I don’t think this is going to be as big a thing as people suspected.

I would be willing to bet that's one of the reasons we've seen such an uptick in approvals. Or am I just giving SS and the ATF too much credit?

Individual forms have one set of prints to process. Most of the pre 41f(p) should have been processed by now. Any new trust files have more RPQs to process. Makes sense that the singles are being processed quicker than the multi-person forms.

Hah. Now I feel like an idiot, I completely forgot about that aspect. Do all RP on trusts get the barcode treatment as well? I think most trusts are single trusts, anyway. But I guess even then verifying all the legal stuff in the trust doesn't reduce the wait times.

At this point, none of it really matters. The ATF doesn't have any barcode system implemented on their end--- so it's just extra ink on the form. The long parts are the background check and the legal examiners going through the trust--- data entry isn't a time consuming job.
