What is the current average wait on a form 1? Done with a trust?
Had a form 1 done back in October 07 that took around 40days. Any change?

Mine arrived at the BATFE on 23-JUL-08. Went pending 03-SEP-08. Current trends on the other site suggest about 30 days after pending to actually have the papers back in your hand. Looks to be about 90 days given that data.
I hope to have mine soon.
Just got one back, check was cashed Aug 10. So about a month.
It was for a LLC.
I mailed one out on July 3rd. Went pending late August, but I still haven't seen my stamp. 3 months is probably a good bet right now, door-to-door.

+/- 60 days........roughly 30 days before it goes pending and another 30 days for approval.
40- 60 days for me
I think it is slower in the summer.
90 days is the word on the streets for current trust jobs. I'm at day 20 on mine.
People keep saying the ATF is backlogged. This could be because of peoples' worry about the next administration. Although I don't think the NFA is high on most leftist's radar screen.
3 months door to door on a very recently received Form 4 for my trust, if that helps.
I believe 60 days is a good average now.I have noticed, over the years,the speed of the process tends to be related to current political sentiment.During the Clinton administration, I had to contact the NRA and threaten the ATF with a lawsuit to get a form 3 processed.The weapon was for "duty use" and the picture I submitted was of me in uniform.Go figure.We will test my theory after the election.Get them while you can!
'How do you see if it's "Pending?"
Eric! :D
My Form 4 just arrived yesterday. 61 days total.
Yay! That gives me hope that I will see mine before Christmas.
'How do you see if it's "Pending?"
I called, have your SN of the item ready
Back in feb form 1 SBR was less than 60 days
Form 4 can was a little over 60 days.
Both w/ trust.

Hello from sunny South Florida!
My form 1 on a Quicken trust, took 7 weeks from mail box to mail box.
Examiner was Andrew Ashton.
I'll be posting picks on the SBR picture thread later...they won't be "Stick" quality but I'll try my best.

Mine went pending on Sept 12 and they just approved it Oct 27th.
Actually, according to the NFA Branch customer service guy I talked to they normally experience a drop in requests during the Summer months. But this summer is the opposite (I wonder why? :D).
My Form 1 check was cashed September 19th. We'll see when I hear anything back from them.
I just spoke with NFA, mine went pending Oct 10 (form 1), she said they are all backed up, and it will prolly be another 30 days, at least,,
