Got my first eForm 1 SBR approval last night. 29 days  - hopefully an indicator that things are speeding up? This was through a trust, btw.

The 10.5” 5.56 upper has been great (suppressed), but I honestly might enjoy the Bear Creek Arsenal .22 10.5” upper more. 500 rounds with no malfunctions. Looking to run at my local .22 steel matches.

My first form 1 was approved in 35 days. Submitted one on the 12/2 so we will see how fast this one will be or not be.

Congrats on the form 1!

I had one come back recently at 19 days. Quickest I've seen reported is 15 days.

I’ve had 7 EF4s approved in the past 30 days, the longest having been submitted in August.  Two were filed in Mid-Oct and were in the final batch approved right at 6 weeks.

I have no clue WTF the ATF is doing at this point.  

Still have 1 pending that was submitted mid November.  May go pick up a few more cans at this point since I’m apparently on a lucky streak.

My 2 previous form1 sbrs came back in 14 days.  the most recent that was 18 days but that’s was probably due to the fact that they had to verify the SN since it was a new model from the mfg and wasn’t in the drop down menu.

Just filed one this morning with electronic finger prints to see if that is any faster or shorter.

All filed under a trust with 1 RP

Congrats. I just received my approval for my SP5 today. Was surprised to see it on a Sunday. Submitted on 11/28/23.

Obviously a dumb question, based on the post so far.

When did Form 1 SBR start taking so long?  Was it during the pistol brace fiasco?

I just submitted my second yesterday, but 18 months ago, me and four my buddies all got ours approved in 10 days or so, mine was actually 8 days.

Side note, I’m worried my 2nd app might get rejected.  Box 3D is where you put in a county, my form yesterday wouldn’t let me enter a county.  The county shows on my profile correctly on the eForm sight, so I was at a loss.

My app 18 months ago has the county on it, this time it was blocked from selecting or entering one.

Immediately after submitting I sent a message to them with my app id and alerting them to the problem.

I’m also gonna call my ATF office tomorrow morning and ask them if there’s anything I can do.

Not sure what else to do…

Beginner’s luck. SBR form 1 submitted 12/1/23 approved today (14 days). Now to get some parts to finish an 11.5” upper.
SS kiosk, single shot trust.
AFT offical: Brian Martin
Waiting for my first suppressor (Cat's Ass) to get transferred to the dealer to submit my first form 4.
Maybe checking the status 3 times a day helped?

Sent in travel papers for next year a few weeks ago. Got an email asking about a couple of items(encrypted) from a "CONTRACTOR". Speculating here that they have hired contractors to help with the workload.

61 Days for me right now. The ATF must hate me as my last one took four months earlier this year.

My most recent one was 60 something days. Most from earlier this year was 7 months for me. Except for 1 random 50 day eForm 1 approval and a 50 day disapproval during those 7 months.

I’m actually surprised mine came back as fast as it did without issues because it was my first item on a new trust, and I didn’t fill out the “additional description” field 4.h.  Apparently this section doesn’t really matter for the examiner.

Submitted 11.1.23 individual to SBR my 15-22. Figured there was a big problem as I’ve never waited more than two weeks.  Called the ATF last week and she told me I was approved on 11.11.23. Logged into my account and sure thing there it was. Lesson learned to check my account periodically as the ATF emails sometimes don’t come through.

Put one in a month after OP (12/22/2023)... got back today (12/28/2023).

SIX DAYS! And that counts Christmas.

Sent in two eForm 1’s on 12/22 and received them both back today. 15 days counting Christmas and New Years holidays. Pretty impressive. The form 4 wait will continue.

This one was quick. Holidays and all only 5 business days.

Damn!

Last one I submitted was a paper form, waited 10 mos.

I guess it's time to submit one on E-form.

Did a form 1 last night. Interested to see what it takes.

Years ago it was literally two weeks or less for me on a few occasions.

5 business days for me!  Through an eForm Trust.  Crazy.  Still waiting 9 months for a Form 4. Starting adding my social hoping that speeds things up.  I just submitted another Form 1

Fastest one for me so far, filed on 12/27 and approved today...so 8 business days.

Individual, e-file, MKE AP5

Filed one for my Zastava M85 yesterday and Galil Ace 13" this morning...hoping they glide through the bureaucratic bowels as easily.

I just submitted one Sunday.  Mailed prints yesterday.
First one a few years ago was 11 days.
Another a couple years ago was 17.
Hopefully this latest one will be quick.
I have one more to do after that.
