Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CovertChannels: I submitted more than ten Form 1s in late February. Two came at 14 days, two more at 1 month,, and all but one came between 60-120 days. The last one was sent back due to an error after the brace rule timeframe expired and I resubmitted a paper form 1 a month ago. In my case, the ones that got approved the fastest were the guns I like the least. My favorite guns took over 110 days to come back. Almost like they know what ones I couldn’t wait for. There is no excuse to not do batch approvals, and I have no idea why it took close to four months to get some back, and others in weeks. That's exactly what happened to me too |

So I have 2 that are at 150+ days now, and 2 that are at 50 days exactly.
All but one is paid. One was a pistol amnesty. I don't understand. The poster that said squeaky-clean background, I don't even have a speeding ticket to my name. I held a security clearance for 2 years, still active. My fucking EQUIP came back faster than this, which for those that know, is  outta I called on the ones that were filed in February, and I got a really short, dismissive "Its in the system. You have to wait". Okay I've been waiting. A lot.I am just about to the point that I don't even care anymore. I knew going in, for my first suppressor, that the wait could be a long time. My form 4 took 400, 415 days, something like that. I just forgot about it. But all estimates for eFile form 1's are in the 30's or 40's. How are mine so fucking stuck. I used EFT's for all of them (no paper prints). A buddy of mine filed a form 1, efile, eft, in April, and got it back approved in May. I think it was 30 days on the nose. What the fuck. ETA I kind of just want my money back at this point. |

Well after waiting since 13 Feb my first Eform1 was denied. I guess my suspicion that it was a problem putting the model number on the Colt Box (CR6920) vs. what was engraved (Carbine) was correct. I did file a second application about a month ago with this corrected, so hopefully this is about to get resolved.
For what it's worth, this means they're starting to nibble at those from mid-February. Hoping this is a good sign my June application for same firearm about to be approved. |

The one I reapplied on June 20 approved today (day after denial of the flawed Feb application). To all those waiting, hang in there. If you think you made a mistake, file a second one while the first is pending. |

77 days on my Amnesty stamp, although I had a number of arrests in my college days that never brought a conviction so I expect it’s going to take awhile. My suppressors have always taken more than a year and the 2 I have pending I expect to see next Easter.

Have you considered making sure it’s correct with the arresting agency, state reporting agency or getting a UPIN? It’s not expensive to get your rap sheet from the feds, to confirm what’s is in your file. |

All of these long waits blow my mind. I submitted 4 paid SBR apps and was sweating that they would be approved before WA cut them off. All were approved in less than 26 days.
BTW, it turn out our fears were unfounded as ATF continued to complete WA F1s after the cutoff. |

Shit is crazy. I just got back one I submitted 7/21/2023. Previous one took over a month so this was a surprise. I have a free stamp stuck somewhere since March though, so clearly no consistency.
No such luck on the Form 4 side. My guess is they assign these to individual examiners, and some are quick and others are not. |

It's comical, it really is.
Tax paid, E-Filed Form 1 SBR since 04 Feb, even called to verified (paper) prints arrived and was told everything is fine and in the package. It's not even anything oddball, just making the stock operable on a PPS-43. Just totally at a loss, not so much as even a parking ticket since 1987. Have an FFL (C&R), live in an NFA friendly County and State, get 4473 approvals (and even PICS/the additional PA for Pistol) back within seconds, always. WTF, is it some "social media" payback, being I like and support FPC and GOA posts and donate regularly to them? Is there any recourse here? |
