I called again to see if they had an updated address...nope. Stephanie said that the FFL needs to write a request to change all pending forms with new address. Damn it. I hope usps forwards the mail from his old home address to the new one. I really can't catch a break.

Damn. I feel for you. 

There re really is no excuse for the processing times we see. The system is so inefficient it's pathetic. 

Have trump sign an EO that prevents them from cashing the checks until it's approved and watch those times go way down as they suddenly find ways to improve the process.

Uh...you forget they don't work on commissions.  They get paid no matter when or if your check is cashed.  As a consumer it would only seem right that the tax is paid when the stamp is issued, however expecting the .gov to move quicker by not cashing your check...well I don't think you know how government works. It's not the private sector where we expect results!

Not to derail this thread so I will add

Trust form 4

Pending 6/16/2016
Approved 3/8/2017 (almost a week before my 6/14 pending was approved)

My guess is some examiners are enjoying the overtime and some are less motivated by $$.

About how long is everyone seeing it's currently taking for checks to be cashed?  I mailed in one F1 and one F4 about two and a half weeks ago.  F4 was through the dealer so I paid them the tax directly and they paid the ATF for me so I have no way of tracking if that was cashed.  F1 I bought a USPS MO and I'm not sure if I'm checking it's status properly on the website, but it still says no information.  For anyone that's used a USPS MO am I correct in assuming I can track whether it's been cashed or not running a 6401 inquiry at the website here:

Usually cashed within a week. We notify our customers if we send the check.

I understand exactly how the government works. And the examiners don't have to work off commission. 

You dont think if there was a pile of cash sitting somewhere that the treasury can't touch until they complete the transfer and they won't find away to speed the process to recognize that money?

my point is if you take out a lot of the inefficiency the wait times drop.

Silencer Shop told me today ther payment was processed on that date, that's what I meant by "Check Cashed". We look to be in a very similar time frame. This is my first can, but by everything I can gather (ATF wait times, postings here, etc....) I'm expecting end of April or possibly longer as the times have been growing as we get closer to 41f dates.

Looks like they are hitting the bow wave of pre 41f forms now. NFA tracker shows them working on the week of 6/20 now.
I'm figuring Ill see my 7/5 submissions around mid April.

Ordered 6/3
Form 3 Approved 1/13
Form 4 Submitted 7/5
I'll be calling my dealer this weekend to see if they are on the shelf. If they are, I may make a trip in for a range day. Might as well shoot 'em if they are in.

Usually you get several emails from them one is submitted F4 date, the next is check cashed date.  Not always true but the majority of mine I've gotten two emails.

I agree, and in the past that has been the case, but on my last two SS submissions I had to call to find out when the check was cashed as no email was sent. They were really busy so it wasn't a big deal.

Called CA, however they just have the automated answering service saying you will get an email when paperwork arrives. Their website FAQ deal lists 5/27 as the most recent approval date they are seeing. Nothing in my inbox yet. Hopefully this week as I'm headed to a friend's ranch to slay hogs and would like to have my cans.

Just received my first can in the mail from CA. I sent the Non over the counter and 4473 the day they emailed me to them. In my excitement I forgot to sign the non over counter form. Lol. This was my first stamp approval and blew it. Lol. They called me and let me know the day they received it. I redid the form and sent it again but uploaded it on the CA site as well so they could check it. All was good round two. They waited the 10 days required and then shipped right away. Sure I wanted my first can NOW but with 5 more pending with them I wasn't about to drive there each time or wait until they are all approved and make one drive. It's pretty cool getting a suppressor in the mail. Oh must be another package from amazon honey. ;)
