I've been pending since 15 april, and called last week and still pending, I think it can be 30 days to 90 days depending on your examiner.

I went pending Jan 12th. There is no real ryme or reason to it. Depends on who you got, and what their work load is. Wish it was easier then that. Like 6 weeks. But there isn't.

This. But April 9th.



Check the NFA Timelines thread, it can be useful to see how long others have taken.

You can also look at nfatracker.com, as the different examiners do seem to have different timelines, and there's an excellent breakdown there w/o having to scroll through tons of pages to see it all.

I really wish there was rhyme or reason to it...like reason dictating if you've been through the NFA process before, they would only have to you check out from the time of the last stamp until the present. But no, this is my second stamp and I've been PENDING for almost as long as the entire process took last time.

Oh, trust me, I know. If we could only wish. I had two forms for my first two MG's, they took a month and three days, and that is mail box to mail box. Sent it in the last day of Feb, took the guns home the 3rd day of May. If they all went that fast.

At this point I wouldn't waste a moment with the examiner, ask to speak to that examiner's supervisor. There are two things govt employees universally hate: The boss on their ass after a customer complaint, and a Senator or Rep's office making an inquiry.  But the Senator/Rep is the nuclear option, after that you may need to invoke that every time thereafter.

I called today and the ATF said my dealer only sent in one copy of the app.

Dealer called me and said I (me the customer) did not sign the form.

Someone is lieing to me. And I think I know who.

Why would you let your dealer send in the forms? I would never trust a dealer to do that. Unless it was Ruben or MM. They would be about the only two I'd trust to have them done right, in a timely fashion. My local C3? Nope. I'll do it myself.

Howard isn't much better then Shippman. I've spoken with Howard on a couple of forms, he was never much of a help. Erine was a help when he was still there. Too bad he got his promotion.

Sounds like I need to place a call to BATFE today and check on mine.  My examiner is Barbara Payne.  
I sent into 2 forms - a Form 1 and a Form 4 - which went pending on April 12 and April 8th.  That's 42 & 38 days in the "pending" status.
Today - June 16 - is 107 days since I sent my forms in.

Since my forms went in just days ahead of yours, I'm hoping that they've been approved.  
I'll give them a call this afternoon and check.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile

EDIT
I called BATFE and my suppressor was approved by Sandra Snook this morning!  
My tax stamp should be on the way to my dealer very soon.
So that's 69 days from pending to approved.

My Form 1 (SBR) was assigned to a different examiner and has been pending now for 65 days.
