Going to the MO HTF shoot and wanted to take the SBR with me.

Set up an ATF Eform account, filled out the 5320.20 form around 8 pm Thursday and received approval on Friday at 9:49 am.

For the ATF I am impressed it was that fast.

I have had them come back in minutes. Since you are adding firearms from the system itself, it really cuts down on the processing time. I expect the process is 95% automated this point, a huge improvement from the mailed in forms from only a few years ago.

Since ATF put the form 20 on eforms about a year ago, I've filed at least 7 form 20's. All of them I filled out late at night, between 9 and 11 PM, and all were approved the following morning (a normal business day) before 9 AM.
