    My FFL received my Surefire "k" can from Grant on 01-24. I had all the paperwork filled out and signed and the package was sent via Priority Mail to BATFE on 01-26. Package arrived at BATFE on 01-28.

    3 weeks later I received the unopened envelope back. It said wrong address. I had sent the Form 4 to the address marked on the Form 4, BATFE in Chicago. After 30 minutes of searching, I found out that the BATFE had moved it's office that approves Form 4's from Chicago to Atlanta in Dec 2006. My local FFL had old forms.

    I resubmit my paperwork to the Atlanta office on 02-11 via Priority Mail, if I remember correctly it arrived on 02-13 in Atlanta. Check was cashed on 02-19.

    On 03-20 (Friday) (31 days after check was cashed) I call to check the status. The Agent that I speak to tells me I have to wait 45 days from the date the check was cashed before they can tell me anything. She told I can call back (after the 45 day period) with the serial number of the NFA item and they will be able to tell me the status of my Form 4.

    When I did my Form 1 last year, from the day I sent it out to the day I received it back in my hand, was less than 30 days. I was guessing this would take about the same amount of time, I guess I was wrong.



    Good luck



    S/F,
    Jeff



    Update: I called 10 days ago and was informed that my Form 4 was in the "Fingerprint Examination Process" and the woman from the BATFE told me that once the Form 4 has reached this stage it's usually 2 - 5 weeks until I should receive my Form 4 back ............ Guess I shouldn't complain, as my last Form 4 took almost 11 months (late 2004).






    S/F,
    Jeff

    **** UPDATE ****

    Just got off the phone with the ATF

    I went pending 4/11/08, 4 weeks and 4 days from my check clearing.

    examiner: Ted Clutter

    I was told it is taking 4-6 weeks from the time it went pending and closer to 4 weeks.

    Check was cashed 3/10/08.

    I just talked to BATFE earlier today and I got my form 4 approved on 4/14 . I sent the check and form in at the end of February. So, it looks like 1.5 months is the current turnaround right now.

    My check was cashed the same date as yours. I'm resisting the temptation to call them.

    Ted Clutter nice name.

    I just talked to the ATF and they said that for every call they get it will take another day to look at my form and approve it so

    KNOCK IT OFF!

    Is there a way to find out who your Examiner is without calling?
