Has anyone heard of a reduced wait time if you get your form 4 submitted electronically?

A local shop told me the $200 stamp fee is auto-drafted within 15 minutes, and it should get approved in less than 3 months as long as there are no issues.  They just started this process a few weeks ago, and haven't had any approvals come back yet, but if what they have been told is correct, the wait times should go down a LOT.

Anyone else hear this???

Edited:

My buddy and I have 7 suppressors on order, so we hope to have these in before the new CLEO sign-off EO takes effect.

Its still like a 9 month wait, not 3 months. Some Form 3's are taking 3 months or more

Actually, it should be 2-3 months less than mailing in your forms as eForms go pending immediately.  Confirmed with Gary at the NFA branch and others have confirmed it as well.

I won't hold my breath. But I'm hopeful this is true.  I'll just keep submitting forms and try to forget about them.

NFA tracker seems to confirm this. Look at the type of filing and the quick pending dates that people have gotten.

I just talked to silencershop about my Osprey .45 and they are going to submit it electronically for me (since I am from TX). I will see if it get approved before my other stuff I sent in to the ATF by mail a couple of weeks ago.

I don't think the status is going to change on the Eform site. Call them and I'm sure you're pending already.

Any idea how you would file a F1 or a F4 with trust paperwork?

This is all I've found so far...   http://www.guntrustlawyer.com/2013/08/gun-trust-and-submitting-atf-f.html



I'm looking to do the same thing, only having questions about it since I don't have all the parts planned.. they want barrel length, OAL. Guess I better make up my mind and hope I don't have to deviate from my choices.

There's no requirement to keep the rifle in the same configuration as is on the Form 1.

So...  if I register it with a 10" barrel, then decide to get an 8.5" instead of waiting for 10's to be in stock, it's good to go? New to this NFA stuff so I want to be TOTALLY sure before I get going!  If that's the case, I'm submitting my eForm today! :)

I think you will still need the 10" barrel, then you can get any additional lengths you want. You just have to be able to assemble the SBR in the same configuration that you registered it as.

You have the ability to attach files when submitting the forms. Scan your trust paper work and save them as a PDF, Word Doc, etc. There is a size limit per attachment though so if your trust is like mine you may have to break them up into separate files. For instance, Complete Trust Pack 1 of 4 and so on. Each attachment cannot be bigger than 3MB and the total size for all attachments cannot be bigger than 30MB if I remember correctly.

Woohoo! Submitted...  and strangely enough, I got this moments ago..



"Mr
Sterling – for the form 1, you will need to specify a caliber, barrel
length and overall length.  If changes are made or if it has a different
description
after you put it together, please notify us in writing (to the Chief,
NFA Branch at the address on the form).
"



A reply... on a Sunday? wow...
