| Dealer claims he sent my form 3 july 25, he says he still waiting. I bought a can from silencer shop, they only took 2 weeks. What are your wait times for form 3? |
|
Quoted: No, I bought a sbr and the seller had to tranfer it to my dealer here in georgia. He says atf has noy sent back the f3 yet. ok, so you were talking about two different items. Form 3 will vary, I have had them range from 6 days to 91 days this year. anything under a month is good in my book. Good luck.

How in the world is silencer shop doing it in a week? Luck. I guess whomever stuffed it in the pile, didn't pay attention and probably stuffed it in the middle so when they bring that stack to approve, it happens to be mid way there! Just like some Form 4s in GA, I know a couple guys who got theirs 5months door to door and everyone else is doing 6 months and some weeks. I guess just depends on where they start on the pile. If you watch the ASA video, you will see bins full of papers ready to be approved. Just what I think, I could be wrong. I can not think of a reasonable reason why some forms that submitted 2 weeks apart, one would be approved 5 months and the other approved at 6 and half months. |

I send two forms in two week apart and they were approved the same day. |
| i call to check on Form 3s on things that are being sent to my dealer, NFA branch won't tell me anything about it other than one has been submitted. i call on everything now because my first suppressor manufacturer never sent one while he told me he did, pretty much lied to me so i don't trust anyone now. |

I'm not sure how silencer shop does it, but they get their stuff through the system. I wonder if they are part of the electronic form 3 submission process. My first one with them took 4 weeks, next 3 took 2 weeks. All this summer.
It's another plus for buying from them. At least in my own little experience, their stuff moves faster. |

No such thing as electronic submission. Dealers can either fax or mail them. |

Quoted:
form 3 submitted end of may. its now the end of aug. 12 ish weeks and counting... There is a problem if its taking more than 12 weeks. I would call the dealer or whoever is responsible for it. I could see 8 maybe 9 at most. Mine took 7 weeks, the norm seems to be 6-7 weeks (except silencershop somehow getting them in 2-3 weeks) |

Perhaps I read it wrong. In either case, silencer shop gets theirs approved really quick. |

Quoted: Quoted: I had one that was 13 days at the end of March and one that was 68 days from May to July. you think it matters where the f3 is coming from? |

Quoted:
Called checked on my form 3, atf says no record of it on file, WTF. So did dealer not send it? FYI - it's not your Form 3. It's the dealer's Form 3, and the ATF doesn't have to tell you anything about it... Why not ask the dealer to see a copy of the F3 from the transferring dealer? |

When I called, all they asked was serial number and who trasfrd it, them said no record of that serial in their system. What could any one gain by telling me its being processed. Dealers swears they mailed ir, and sent a second copy. |
