Mod edit: we'll use this thread as our running tracker for 5320.20 forms. Please make a note as to whether you mailed, emailed, or faxed your forms.  DO NOT post until approval is received.


I submitted on 5/12, wondering if I'll get it back in time for CWTII.

Not much info in the approvals thread, and I couldn't find anything in NFA Tracker.

Submitted 4/14. Haven't seen anything in the mail yet. Getting nervous, as I'm heading out of state for the Memorial Day holiday and would like to bring SBRs with me.

Called NFA branch this morning and they told me that my forms are still pending. Apparently travel forms are currently taking 45+ days to clear. 45 days from my submission date will be next Monday. Guess the in-laws may have to make due with just suppressed pistols. 

Made a note on my calendar to submit my forms for 2018 on 12/1 this year.

Have any pistol lowers?  Put the uppers on them and take them instead if you can't get the 5320.20 in time.

Good thought. I converted the one pistol lower I had to an SBR right before the 41F cutoff. Haven't yet replaced it with another pistol lower. Project ideas >> gun budget.

I don't have the exact dates with me (at work), but I submitted one by email on July 4, got it back in the mail around 7/30. Approved date was ~7/25.

It was right at 4 weeks from email to snail mail at my house.

Should I even bother? Better to mail or fax?

10 days start to finish is how long I'd expect an ATF examiner to process lunch, not a form. I be blessed.
