a big name manufacturer and he had to send the Fm 3 to Silencer Shop for them to load the mfg name into their system.  Does this sound right?  Since ATF has the info via at lest two eForm 3's already, why can't it just transfer over when I sign in and certify with the SOT.  I've been waiting days and nothing is happening.  Nobody answers email, phone or chat.

Does anybody have the answer?  Is SS on this forum?

It's possible the website's drop down didn't have the MFG so he didn't know what to do.

If you form 1 something, your stuff will get delayed if the MFG or model number are new or not known.

I suspect that the case.  Im interested in how long it takes SS to upload it.  I know on eForms you can just type it in.  We already know what atf accepts because it has had two Form 3's recently.

So dang frustrating.  I should have just entered the data on the SOT's eForms and not messed with this SS system.  SS is impossible to contact.

<----SS Powered By Dealer
For a dealer to upload an NFA firearm to his Dealer Dashboard using "My Inventory" he has to choose the type of NFA firearm and the manufacturer. If the manufacturer isn't shown or the model isn't shown in that dropdown menu he just emails the F3 to SS. They'll add the manufacturer and model to their list and the dealer can then upload the serial#.

SS want to see the Form 3 because they want the menu choices to be exact. If there are existing MG's from that manufacturer on the menu, but the barrel length is 10.5" and the menu shows only 11"? ATF may disaprove the Form 4 because it doesn't match the current Form 3. You don't want that.

You can't certify a Form 3. That's a form that allows tax free transfer between SOT's.
Your dealer is trying to upload the information from the Form 3 so Silencer Shop can prepare an eForm 4  to you. Until that F3 info is in "My Inventory" that cannot be done.

Well guess why?
The last three weeks has seen a huge run on silencer sales because of faster eForm 4 processing) and the guys at SS are buried. They likely arent answering your emails because they can't give you an answer. They don't know what you are talking about because your dealer hasn't uploaded that MG to his inventory. Meaning they dont see anything to create an eForm for.

As soon as SS adds the info required for your dealer, he can upload that MG, then SS will create your eForm draft. THEN you certify.
