So long story short.. I purchased 4 supressors from my dealer on 10/1, filled out the form 4s while I was there, attached my trust copies, checks etc. The dealer said they would be mailed out on 10/3..

It's now 10/26 and the ATF says they haven't recieved anything, nor have any of my checks been cashed. The dealer is 1000% the paperwork was mailed.

What options do I have? Can I re submit with new checks, or would that screw everything up if they do infact "have them".. Just kinda worried that it's been almost a month and no word.

Unless you have some sort of tracking number from the dealer, I would probably wait another week or ten days.  Most likely scenario is the dealer didn't mail them out when they thought they were going to, and is now 1000% sure because they mailed the paperwork 10mins after you called asking about it...
;)

If you resubmit, you're basically assuming that the original package is lost/gone for good and you're starting over.  I don't know that it would "screw everything up" if they do have both sets, but it's likely you'd end up with $1600 in checks cashed before you could straighten it out and get one set cancelled/refunded.

That's also why I always mailed my own forms before I got my FFL.

Definitely nothing wrong at this point.

I have several with 9/22 check cashing dates that still aren't in the system.

is its been almost a month and my checks haven't been cashed.

Checks were cashed in 1-3 weeks. But the NFA Branch will have no record of your serial number just because check was cashed. That can be 2-6 weeks later (used to be 2+ months).

Took about a month for them to get my information in.  Checks were cashed on September 18th.  I called on October 3rd and they had no information, then I called on Ocotober 17th and I was told they went pending on the 17th of September!  Yes, I did ask about to make sure I heard correctly.

Call on November 3rd.

When should I begin to worry if my check haven't been cashed? I'm not to worried about the pending dates, I just want to make sure they ATLEAST have the check.

How long did it take for them to cash your check? As that's where my issue lies.

I mailed my last form 10/8 and the money was taken from my account by ACH on 10/15.  I called today to check on three others, but this latest one has not yet gone pending.  I'm not worried at this point...
