I'm curious to see if this improves wait times or makes them longer.

The attachment for the examiner is pretty small. Try to resize it

Here is a link to one that is easy to read.

Its interesting to put a name to the person reviewing your paperwork, rather than it being some ambiguous "other".

Sounds like my guy is in the middle of the pack. I'm guessing their average times have more to do with volume and sick days than much anything else.

This only impacts those mailed after July 1st right?

The ATF National Firearms Act (NFA) Branch is pleased to announce that as of July 2011, ATF Forms 1, 2, 10 and ATF Form 5320.20 will be assigned to a legal instruments examiner for processing according to the State of the applicant's address. The NFA Branch also will begin assigning ATF Forms 3, ATF Form 4 and 9 applications to examiners by the State of the transferor's address. Applications already pending at the time of the change will continue to be processed by the examiner to whom they were previously assigned. Historically, applications in the NFA Branch have been assigned to legal instruments examiners alphabetically based on the name of the transferor or applicant. A chart showing the new assignment distribution is below.
The ATF expects this change in the assignment of applications to better enable NFA examiners to develop State law expertise and more knowledgeably and effectively respond to our customers during an era of unprecedented and ever increasing application volume. Please contact the NFA Branch at 304-616-4500 with any questions about this change.

Was that supposed to be some kind of sick joke, I have friends who are still pending from May/June 2011

One would think that $200 would buy a simple processing of paperwork & background checks with a little efficiency.

This list can't be right or either it's changed. Jason Frushour was my examiner and I'm in MS.

What?

Date sent to stamps received is the total time. Pending to approved is a chuck of that. You wouldn't add the two numbers. Can you please clarify?
