I just submitted 3 Form 1's over the course of one hour. The control number was 866 higher for my last submission than my first. If that's the normal volume that's a lot of information being handled by a few people.

Sounds normal when the price is reduced to “free”.
(Which is a good thing)

I submitted my annual massive pile of 5320.20 last night.  Each submission was for ten guns which weren't interstate transport exempt (AOW, suppressor, and C&R with me having a C&R).  There was anywhere from 8-20+ submissions between each of my submissions, and I want to say that each of my submissions took 5-7 min or so.

This tells me two things:

1.  When the price goes to $0 for most NFA transfers, the paperwork increases exponentially.

2.  I'm not the only guy who has no life on a Saturday night.

Pretty much everything generates a control number, including .20s. That number reflects total submissions of all types, not a specific type of submission.

Honestly, trying to make guesstimates based on control numbers is kind of silly.  Just submit, and it comes back when it comes back.
