F4 Turnaround!!! Update.

DBautista · #1 09-20-06, 21:36

I must say...

I am VERY impressed with the people at the ATF! There is something positive going on at the WV NFA branch, my Form 4 was processed in 15 working days!!!

Check Cashed: 8/29

Approved: 9/18

IN HANDS 9/25!!!

The forms were sent a few days prior of cashing, but that really does not matter...

This was an individual suppressor transfer, but this is my 3rd Form 4 and I have a Form 1, maybe because I have paperwork on the books to speed things up?

I see this as a serious problem... I am an NFA crackhead and I have a .45 can in my sights...

I'll tell you, if you want to add a suppressor to your collection of goodies, NOW is the time! Turnarounds are QUICK! My last one was 33 days and I thought that was fast....

Pics will soon follow... Im just waiting for the forms to get to my dealer!!!

Guy at the local club said that his turn around was 22 days. It appears that the ATF is speeding things up a bit.

I mailed mine out on August 24th and it came back approved September 18th. That's mailbox to mailbox.

Damn that is quick are you all doing the individual route or Trust or LLC?

SuicideHz · #6 09-21-06, 13:51

I went with a Trust.

Mailed 8/23 and approved 9/19. Not in hand yet...

Form 4 for suppressor BTW.

rob_s · #7 09-21-06, 14:57

Mine's a trust, and it was a Form 4 for an SBR.

Mine was individual, I was going to go Trust, but my CLEO has no problems with Class 3!

Looks like Suicide and I mailed about the same time!

I sent mine out Sept 4th (my b-day and a gift to myself

), so hopefully it'll be here soon. This is my first NFA item (SBR), so I'm kinda expecting it to take a little while longer.

Were any of these quick turn-arounds for first timers?

Mine was approved in 16 days. First time for me. Form 4, Trust. My Form 1 was sent the same day (8-21) and the check has been cashed but I haven't seen anything yet.

My last one wasn't my first, but my first one took about the same amount of time. It got held up a bit because they lost (or I forgot to send) my trust paperwork. If I remember correctly I got my notice that I needed to send it in about a month after I sent the original form and check. I can only assume that if they had the paperwork that they needed at that time I would have gotten the approval.

DBautista · #12 09-26-06, 20:12

Forms were in my grubby hands 9/25.

EVO-9.

Fun.

Yes, I am a pepper eatin' mother-trucker.

GastonG-NoVa · #13 09-27-06, 17:09

TWO WEEKS....5 DAYS.....paper work is back at my dealer!!!!

WOW....ATF is on top of things it appears.

Got a M4-2000 5.56 can.

SuicideHz · #14 09-27-06, 18:41

Got my suppressor on the 24th- paperwork was back at dealer on the 23rd.

My first time.

shark31 · #15 09-29-06, 16:43

Mailed individual transfer form 4 on 9/5,check cashed 9/12, pending on 9/19, and approved on 9/25. Paperwork came in 9/29.
24 days mailbox to mailbox

Wow, that is impressive. My form-4's came back in 33 days and I was doing handstands I was so happy. It took NFA Branch one year 10 months to get back to me. I called and called inquiring about an item I applied for... and when they finally got back to me they said I needed to re-apply with the new forms. Sometime from the time I sent the forms in, to the time they got back to me...there had been a change in the forms. Nice...

Anyway, glad to hear they are turning things around now quickly.

Buy up now guys...

DBautista · #18 10-29-06, 20:01

Wow!

This one came back! I know its only been about a momth, but I got ANOTHER CAN last week!.

Its the YHM .556/223.

Awesome. Not too much louder than the m42k and cheaper!

For those VA folks: GO to the Armory, MARIE will hook you up. A nicely priced can and HEARING safe!

The ATF is turning its wheels!

Derek_Connor · #19 11-07-06, 18:28

ATF is really cranking I tell ya.

They got my FORM 4 on Thursday of last week (2 Nov), check was cashed yesterday.

Im going for the record...

vinesr6 · #20 11-09-06, 23:11

I'm about to get my first can, so I have to wait 'til my FFL/SOT has the can and then submit the F4 correct?....Oh yeah my Form1 was about 1 month, mailbox to malbox...
