I am finally in a position in my life to purchase some of the toys that I have wanted. I am starting the NFA trust paperwork tomorrow and then plan on buying and SBR and a suppressor.
I was wondering what the current turn around time is for everything. If I begin tomorrow, how soon would I be able to have both the SBR and suppressor in my possession? Thank you for your time. |

My experience, in the last few years, has been anywhere between 9 days (eform 1) and 6 months (paper Form 4). The 9 days was an anomaly; screwed up the initial submission and it got fast tracked when I caught it a few days later. But it literally was 9 days between initial submission and approved F1.
I'd plan on 6 months and hope for 4 (my last paper Form 4 took 4 months). Got an eform 1 pending right now, at about a month. |

Welcome to the NFA world. Congratulations for making it here. If the item is in already in your state and at your dealer, the ATF is taking four months to approve forms 1 and 4, according to my experience, which is consistent with ATF tracker. If the item is out of state, then the dealer must submit a form 3, which is a dealer to dealer transfer. This adds another month to the above time. Some dealers will start the form 4 while the form 3 is pending (I won't get into that issue). If the item is out of state and is being transferred from an individual to your holding dealer, then that will require a form 4 transfer to the dealer. That can take anywhere from one month to four months before the holding dealer can start the form 4 to you. In effect, if the item is held by an individual, who is out of state, the process requires two form 4s. The good news is that a form 4 to a dealer is often approved quicker than a trust/corp/individual to trust/corp/individual form 4. There is also the shipping of the tax stamp, once ATF approves your item. Add one week; however, add 30 days if you are unlucky, as testified to by some exasperated souls in other threads. Also, if your process includes a CLEO sign off, add however long it takes your CLEO to sign. In some places, it's a simple door knock and request, signed the same day. In some places it requires a formal written request. That's the approval process. I notice you said you're SBRing an item. If you're adding smith work to an item, sometimes, that can be longer than the stamp approval process. |

you best hurry 41P is on track to start in Jan so it will shred most of the trust benefits. They say if you app is in process it will not get bounced. Don't start rumors Agreed. As of right now there is no evidence that 41p will ever happen. Don't share comments like that unless you can back them up with cold hard facts. Otherwise you're spreading rumors and there are way to many of those floating around about the NFA as is. |
