I has been 16 months since I bought a can.
Maybe I'll give SS single shot trust and DA a try. 41F is bullshit. |

Moar This. Look at NFATracker.com and follow the trend line. It seems to be dropping precipitously. Currently people are getting F4 to Individual from November and the trend line is down. If you submitted a F4 to Individual in May, my estimate is you'll have it within ~150 days. After that things might stabilize, might go down, might go up, might go away. (Fuck I hope) Submissions are *WAY* down now after the rule change screwing trusts. Quote HistoryQuoted:

LOL @ "a few short months." Fuck off. I got in and out before the 41F horseshit and won't be buying anything else until these Nazi fucks relent on the bullshit infringement of my rights.

Sorry for sounding ungrateful earlier.
Thanks silencershop for the hustle. With the implementation of updated computer entries... any chance where it could link us to an account where they've seen that the applicant has already had multiple approvals and can speed it up even more? All of us are already in the government records with these tax stamps. |

This is exciting stuff. Anything that can be done to alleviate wait times while working within the current framework is great news for everyone.
The best part is this is something ALL dealers can use for ANY Form 4, not just silencers. |

Is the background check for NFA exactly the same as NICS or is it more in depth? If so there's no reason to wait 12 months it should be instant.

There is now a system in place within the BATFE’s NFA DIvision, that will allow nearly everyone who files a Form 4 to transfer controlled items, such as silencers, a genuine chance at receiving approved forms in a few short months. Alongside the ATF, three silencer industry stalwarts spearheaded the best modernization of the registry in 83 years: Dead Air Armament, GEMTECH and Silencer Shop. That's pretty awesome news! I'll be back in the NFA market if wait times drop. |

So far, I have waited a sum total of 18 months for 3 NFA items, each one took months longer than the last. Plus it was funny to talk about picking up a can, in both the silencer sense, as well as the .gov thug sense. |

Background check at point of sale is the most that should be required, if that! The very next democrat president will extend wait times out so long you will die waiting on approval. |

Maybe when the amount of cash coming in slows down post 41F they'll reexamine that and someone will decide to go back to the old way to get more of our money. I don't need anymore NFA and I'm not going to spend anymore money until they change it or HPA passes.

As someone with eight Form 4's pending in a post-41F world I understand the questions posted here. The new system will speed everyone up, regardless of Form or barcode.
We all should still be fighting for deregulation. Join the ASA. Write your legislators. Educate. But incremental changes with tangible positive results is exactly what everyone needs under the current system. And I will continue to buy. Next up is a Dead Air Wolverine and Gemtech Mist through Silencer Shop.

From experience working Gov't systems that run fingerprints, it take about 48 hours to get results from the FBI. IIRC, anything more then 3 or 4 it was lost in the system and had to be tracked down.
Second, it seems like double work to require that info for a persons 2nd or 99th NFA transfer.. NFA branch must be doing everything manually with a card catalog or something. With custom software (which allot of Gov't agencies use), an NFA transfer shouldn't take more then 10 minutes if done right. |
