| I just called the NFA branch at the ATF and asked for the progress on my form 1. The fella that answered said that my paperwork has been sent to the FBI for final approval. My question is why does the FBI have my form 1? The guy said that it was a normal thing and that my paperwork was just going through the appropriate hoops. I may be ignorant, but I didn't know that the FBI was involved with this process at all. Please help me to understand how much longer this process may take. the guy said "a couple of weeks" |
| OK, with me being a very impatient person, I called back and asked them to explain a little bit more. They said that it is the fingerprint check that they are waiting for. Is this what they refer to as a pending date? I'm just trying to figure out a basic idea of how long it will be. They said that they sent them out to the FBI on monday. Any help is greatly appreciated. |
| Mine went pending on August 1st. Called this morning. Still no joy. Hopefully soon, but it probably doesn't matter that much since I went and spent my SBR money on a suppressor instead. So as long as the Form 1 is approved before X-Mas, I should be good. The Form 4 may be another matter entirely. |
Thank you. I haven't felt like this since a kid before Christmas.

| I know the wait sucks but you still have a long way to go. Mine only took 10 after the check cashed to go pending but a lot of them have been taking a lot longer. After mine was pending it took 15 days to get approved and I don't know when it will get back to me. It really sucks buying your first full-auto and then not being able to play with it but at least we can still own them. Good luck and I hope the time fly's for you but I know that hasn't happened for me. |
