But why would the atf say it was an  efile if it was paper
View Quote


I'm curious as well...I have several F4s pending early April which is why I asked.  Quickest paper F4 I've received was around 190 days from pending.  I wish it was less but who knows.

Don't even bother asking them about an approval date.  Those are pretty much answered with a highly pessimistic Magic 8-Ball, held by someone who isn't the examiner.

All they do is take the pending month and add nine...

JUNE APPROVALS COMING IN NOW!

SILENCER SHOP wait times blog

I honestly think ATF is gonna clear all the back logs by JAN 1 then get 41P going so they don't have to grandfather anyone.

I was told yesterday that the NFA Branch has now burned through all their OT budget. It will take some time to see how that affects the speed of approvals.

More examiners getting rolling, but less OT for those working. Might see fewer Sat & Sun approvals? (Not sure how they schedule their examiners)

It's a new fiscal year, so it wasn't budgeted for 2015.

Makes perfect sense we just went through a stupid thing like that here. Either way I am glad they made a huge dent in the backlog.

That used to be what the second pending date used t mean, but that has been done away with.  Pending now only means your form is in the system...

Mine went as follows... just found out today both Form 4's were approved...

Mailed on 5-13; check cashed on 5-21; went into pending 5-30, was given a projected approval date of 2-15; found out today APPROVED 10-2

So all in all, about 142 days from putting it into the mail box to getting approved.

Octane 45--------6/16/2014-------------7/15/2014--------------------------------

I tried to check for the Pending dates on the first 3, but the lady at the other end of the line at the ATF was rude and kept telling me the approved date like I didn't know what I wanted. Damn Obama.

I didn't document the date I mailed everything off. But it was about 1.5 weeks before the check was cashed. Not bad. 4 Months to approval from Check cashed date.

Now only if my dealer would get on the ball.. I still haven't gotten my sparrow because of some mailing problem with him..

^^^^^^ This...and when the average drops from 7 months to 5 months...we'll see 2-3 month approvals and they'll tell us 5 months.

So I heard one theory that they were going gangbusters because it was the end of the fiscal year and they were burning up their extra money. Any chance that is the case??

I would love to see it keep getting faster and faster.

BATFE really needs to be moved back to Treasury and/or have all or a portion of tax stamp revenue go toward their own operating budget. If ATF directly, or Treasury indirectly through their ATF bureau, were to have such an easy $200 for each stamp it would be nothing to them to hire low level gov employees en masse to approve multiple forms every hour. They'd go on a hiring bonanza.

It's a shame they were moved to Justice in the post 9-11 knee jerk DHS and related re-org.

Get the serial number and call the ATF and ask for the pending date.

Check cashed and pending are two completely different dates.
