According to the Calculations....



Anyone putting a Form in today will/might receive the APPROVED Forms in the middle of December 2017.

Personally I'm looking at October ±7 for MY APPROVED Forms

I have no clue.  Mine was a trust.

Anyone have any input on this?  I don't see why it would matter.

Sent in my trust June 1, 2016, received June 6th, and got the stamp for my can (Huntertown Arms Kestrel 5.56) March 3rd.  We had a kid at our shop send one in late October 2016, was received Oct. 31, and he picked up his stamp on January 20th.  His was an individual.  Go figure.

The problem with this one is the averages.  It's 12 months and 3 months.  The older approvals are dragging the average down, meanwhile they're just now coming into the largest backlogs.  If you look at our own members, from check cashed to approval average over the last 4 weeks is 261 days.  And it's only growing, day by day.

I was thinking background checks on an individual would be faster as appossed to a trust that may have more individuals or other legal roads that have to be checked.

Like I said a day or so ago: The Average Wait Time is now about 40 Weeks.

Anybody putting in a Form tomorrow might get it by mid-December, currently calculating December ±15.

But you don't know how fast things will go once they get through the huge mass sent last June/July

Once they are through that huge pile processing time will shorten dramatically.......

Wow, you must be living right.  I submitted a Form 4 in early June 2016.  Check was cashed late June 2016.  Still waiting on the stamp.

3 form 4s/trust, paper, submitted on the same day.


77 days between ordering and the form three getting approved.  Ordered March 2016.


269 days from the time I submitted the form 4 and the approval date. Submitted May 31, 2016.  Approved February 25, 2017.


12 days between the time the form was approved and the day that the stamp arrived at my dealer.


More stuff still pending.

We need a control number on these newly approved stamps. 

If you efiled, you were given a control number like 20163192XX. That's the only way to gauge their progress.  

Last I heard, this was the # they were up to:
Approved: 03/16/2017 
Control #: 2016314XXX

I had two e file f1   Come in at 34 and 35 days so it spoiled me, the last two e file f 1  in early 2016 took 4 months then 6 months.

My previous f4 trust took 5 and 6 months respectively. I filed my last f4 and the check was cashed June 22 2016, so still waiting. Frankly I have had enough of this shit so no more for me until the times are realistic or we can buy over the counter.

Eforms for form 4s were no longer available at this time last year so there are no control numbers.

You Might get your Form approved on or about December 8 of this year.

ALSO:
Anybody putting in their Forms in Today might get APPROVAL on January 2 of Next Year.

I'd have mine by now (ordered 6/6/16), but according to SS, the ATF "lost" my paperwork and they had to resubmit on 7/5/16, check cashed 7/14/16.

Do or don't, I don't care, but that's a really dumb reason.  Would it matter if it was a one week wait?  Do you put money into a 401k even though retirement seems far away?  It sucks to have to wait, but you just forget about it and it will eventually come in.  If you want to do it right, start filing one a month.  Starting early next year, you will have a new toy every month for as long as you continue.  Now that my wait is over on all my NFAs, I am glad to have them.  When I am out shooting, I don't think about the wait at all any more.

It's stupid. The system is broken. I submitted 2 at the same time last January. One came back in May and I was excited. The next came back this January. Checks cashed January 21 2016. May 20th on the first one and January 24th on the 2nd one. Both were trust's. how is it that one came back approved 4 months almost to the day and the other pretty much right at 1 damn year. I got them so I'm happy but sheesh.
