The F4 to individual seems extremely... well, inordinately fast.

I got my Maxim 9 that I submitted in late May. I did the SilencerShop method. Might have had something to do with it.

Not going to complain.

Received four personal Post 41F Forms back.  All were individual transfers.

Dead Air Mask Suppressor

Form 4 from dealer
Mailed:  3/1/2017
Approved: 9/29/2017
Received: 10/15/2017

228 days door to door



PTR52P  Short Barrel Rifle

Form 1
Mailed: 5/30/2017
Approved:10/26/2017
Received: 11/2/2017

156 days door to door.


Over 100 day reduction in approval/received time between the two applications which were mails 90 days apart, which seem like a good sign.

I had two addition Form 4 transfers for machineguns (individual to individual) come back as well.  Both applications were mailed in mid March 2017 and were approved on September 30th.   Not sure what date they arrived in the mail as they went to the prior owner but I picked the guns up on 10/19/2017.  Right about 218 days door to pickup.

They don’t notify you. They send the approved form to your dealer and the dealer notifies you.

Finally got the call today...Christmas came early

Three paper form 4s...all on trusts with two responsible parties...all-mailed together December 12, 2016.
2 suppressors
1 machine gun

Not sure of pending date

Stamp signed 11/24/17, arrived at dealer 12/4/17. Picked up by myself 12/5/17

I was pleasantly surprised as I expected that it might be kicked back. When we sent in the packet, we only included 2 fingerprint cards for each responsible person.  Later of course I read that you need 2 fingerprint cards per person per item.

Time to start buying more...

Not likely. Just a few posts prior to yours, someone posted that they received two forms back with different examiners on each.

Yeah, but if you'll look back through this thread it's also clear that some states were clearly ahead of others. For some of the busier states they may have multiple examiners.

Put in a form 4 the first week of February 2017 (Saker 7.62).  Put a form 1 in for an SBR the first week of March 2017.  (Don't remember the exact dates but the checks were cashed within a week in both cases).

Called the ATF for the first time today to check on the status.

Form 4 was approved on December 10 and the Form 1 was approved on December 11.  Just waiting for the stamps to arrive!

Both items were submitted via paper with a trust. There were 2 people on the trust.

Not sure if it anything was actually expedited, but my dealer closed down a few months ago where this is being transferred.  They were told the ATF was expediting everything and all NFA items would be approved by October 1. Obviously that didn’t happen and NFA branch said they weren’t expediting anything when I asked.

Form 1 trust, sent in 26 October 2017. Two items, one got in my hands on 9 November, the other? I have no clue because the seller is unable to return phone calls or emails, the ATF first said there was a problem with paperwork, then last call said they had to have a supervisor look at it and would call me back. Which means I’ll call them again Monday.

Moral of my story? Be careful who you buy through. My seller notified me that one stamp came through AFTER I reached out to them at the one year mark asking if they’d heard anything. I got the impression their plan was to wait for both stamps before saying a word to me. I’ll post the angry recap of the whole incident once I get my second can...
