Section 4h where you put what will be engraved on firearm, Name, City and State. Every other place on the application I used my full name Christopher.....in that particular section I used Chris. They told me I could only abbreviate the State in that section and that I need to use my full name. I crossed out Chris...replaced with Christopher then dated and initialed my change. Who would have thought that would be a problem? Forms are on the way back now...fingers crossed it wont be much longer once they receive.

Good to read they seem to be moving past July 2016. Only have one in but it's from March. So it'll be a while.

My next Form 1 was cashed 10/12. I'd love to see that letter in mailbox. While I like all of my SBRs, this one has me excited (CZ Bren 805 w/ ACR stock)

Yep will be interesting to see how it goes from this point. I have a Form 1 Individual SBR mailed 02/07/17 and went pending 02/15/2017. Called for the first time this week to check on it to make sure it was in the system.  Now I have to get my form 1 can paperwork off.

ETA: This will be my second SBR, and the first one took 100 days door to door back in 2008. First one was a GSG, this will be the first AR based SBR. CZ Scorpion next after the form 1 cans.

Are they still waiting to mail multiple forms to FFLs instead of singles?  When my can came back in the spring, it was approved almost 35 days before my FFL had the paperwork.  Included with mine was 2 other approved forms (both way less than 35 days).

My 6/26 approved stamp came in yesterday and same thing...4 stamps.

But If i bought 4 cans you know they would have been spread out all over, and no chance of coming back at the same time.

In general, do individual or trust forms come back quicker?

In the past from what I have read individual forms would come back faster. Not sure now that everyone needs fingerprints and photos.

There's an entry on NFA tracker for a March 2017 send off being approved. That's really interesting. I looked at the date on my latest one and it was actually mid February when I sent it in. Makes me somewhat hopeful.

Not always. It would sometimes flip flop back and forth. For a while e-file trust was the way to go.

That is interesting. I have 3 I submitted in late November. No word yet other than card being charged a week later. I think approvals are going to fly soon. No one was buying hardly anything for 6 mos because the rush for 41F.

I'm thinking the same thing. A lot of the trust folks seem to shy away from buying now with the recent changes too. Might keep the back log from happening again.

Could be someone lost a form, someone who never hit submit on their eF1, or even just a bad data entry. And every now and then an ATF examiner will help someone out.

Just look at the pinned post 41F thread to see how well people can read instructions.

Paper Form 1 individual mailed last August 2016.  Cash checked within a week (pretty standard).  I've been overseas and have asked my wife to see if anything arrived in the mail.  It's either in a pile of mail in the kitchen or should be arriving any day....

I would have expected more people to start posting approvals lately, instead it seems everything has slowed to a crawl. I'm on numerous NFA groups on FB and not many people are posting approvals anymore. I wonder if they reassigned people after the glut or just sent everyone on vacation.

Well that's a good point on the instructions. 

The chart it showed up on goes by date Check Cashed. So it was sent in sometime in March. Then again, could be someone trolling. It's all on the honor system.

Or a lot of people don't bother contributing data once they've got what they want.

I know since NFA Tracker changed their site I have a hell of a time trying to log in.

Interesting trend spotted on NFA tracker.

Downward plunging line is mostly paper individual forms 1 and 4.

As a follow up...  Curiosity won out and I called to check status...

I talked to a nice woman named Laura (very cheerful!)   She told me my F1 was currently pending...  (No surprise there)
She then added the examiners are currently working on August but she had seen a few September submissions...

I may or may not hit that 1 year mark...  

This intel is current as of 1400hrs 16AUG2017.

I think it's just they are focusing on Form 4s right now

I submitted a post 41f form 1 trust the first week in September and a post 41f form 4 trust in August. The form 4, which was submitted a month later, came back this week while I'm still waiting on the Form 1.

We'll see.  I submitted a form 1 just over a month after the form 4 I just got back.  I'm betting I'll see it in a month or less.

My individual form1, SBR, mailed 09/30/2016 came back for correction today.

Didn't like that I abbreviated my full name to my initials and last name.

So it would of been a approval if they weren't so picky. I fixed the error and sent it right back out today.

Sad think is that I have another individual form1, SBR, pending from 10-07-2016 with the same problem. So I have that to look forward to.

Anyone know WTH is going on with Form 1 trusts? According to NFA tracker one hasn't been approved since 8/2/2017, I haven't seen people posting approvals for them in forums or online and I had a form 4 trust I submitted a month after the Form 1 I'm waiting for come back last week. I called the ATF but they couldn't give me an explanation.
