I think there is more than that. I dont buy the were swamped. I think that could be some of it but there has to be more.  cause I did 8 form 1 over 4 months, half paid. I have received back 3. so I have 5 form 1 out there and 2 form 4 sitting out there the cans dont shock me. but the from ones make me go WTF. cause they were submitted at the same time they picked 1 out of each group I sent. so since the back ground check is good for 100 days, I just dont get it. like ok you got 3 back ground checks with good to go.  look at the others and use the 3 good NTN.

but there I go trying to understand any govt agency .

Nearing 90 days myself. Everything is slower for me, always. When they call NICS for a 4473, they always get put on hold for 5-10 minutes for “further review” and it has to be approved by someone with a Brady ID. My NFA stuff has always been slower than everyone else too.

Bought 4 cans June - Aug of last year.

The first and last have been approved but not the middle 2.

Well looks like my senator got a response from ATF, and it's not good.

All 3 of my NICS checks are delayed, with the first NICS check being run a month ago.  I have a perfect criminal record- not even a speeding ticket.  It's my understanding that delayed = denied for NFA items, unless you get super lucky and get a UPIN before the 90 day time limit on a background check expires.

I did notice that when I moved to FL background checks take 30-45min, but I chalked that up to the state system being slow as FL doesn't use NICS.  In other states I'd only have to wait 5min.  I have bought multiple guns and have a concealed carry license.  I even had a form 1 approved back in 2019 with no issues.

I'm at a loss as to what to do next.  I asked my senators office if they could contact FBI and see what's the problem with my background.  Everything I see related to UPIN's has people tracking down their arrest records and sorting things out.  However I literally have nothing to show because my background is perfect.

As soon as I found out I was delayed on mine, I applied for a UPIN. It didn’t even take a week for them to approve me for it.

I’m asking an examiner now if they can re run my check using the NICS check. I’m hoping they will, but I have a feeling they might say no since the UPIN wasn’t on my original application.

Mine has been delayed since March 16. Like you, I don’t recall ever getting a delay for a NICS check in the past.

No, they've gone well over 90 days in the past and eventually get approved. IIRC the issue is that if they don't get an immediate response they go into a queue that only specific people can work.

Nathan is adding my UPIN to my form.
Guess I’ll see if it actually makes any difference. Seems like it’s a gamble. UPIN might yield an immediate proceed or just start this entire delayed process all over again…

I don’t think the examiner has any control over how the background checks are run.  I thought that the FBI does the background check and all the ATF examiner does is wait for the proceed or deny from the FBI.  They don’t run checks on their own, or ask the FBI to run it differently.  Also believe the ATF’s stated position is that if there is an issue with the background check coming back denied or taking too long, they can’t help you with that.

I dunno.
Nathan said he would add my UPIN to my form. Whether or not that means they will initiate a new NICS check with the UPIN, I have no idea.



On another note, I see someone just posted an approval from 1/17, so congrats to that guy. I’m 4 days behind.

I guess the NICS system must be pretty damn outdated and/or unorganized.
You’d think while doing whatever means it takes them to approve me for my UPIN, they could also see I have a pending, delayed check and mark the thing as proceed while they’re at it.

I'm surprised some of you are getting examiners to respond to you.  I submitted several brace related e-form 1s from 1/31 to 2/8 that are still pending.  I had an e-form 4 approved 4/6 and sent e-mails to a couple of examiners, over a week apart, to ask if they could use the same background check for the e-form 1s, assuming that is the hold-up.  I haven't received any response at all.

Last year, I had 2 eForm 4s outstanding. Within about a week, I got one disapproval for “unresolved BGC” and one approved. I do have things on my record from back in 1979. I was lucky and had an examiner email me back and let me know what the FBI was hung up on. I highlighted what she sent me asking if that piece didn’t mean that the situation was resolved? About 2 weeks later she called me and said she had good news. She sent my response to the FBI person who gave the denial and said they changed their mind and approved it. I refiled, sent her the new control # and she approved it within an hour. I got real lucky. But why within a week, I’d get one approval and one disapproval is sort of mind boggling.

Of course it’s outdated. The entire FAA air traffic control system is outdated (sorry, adding what I know). Many many govt systems are antiquated and ridiculous in 2023. Hang in there dude….it’ll happen.

Thanks.  He's actually approved some of my form 1s in the past.  I don't really have a problem, and probably shouldn't complain.  I have quite a few form 4s, and they have ranged from a little over a month to 15 months.  I've done a few form 1s, and they were less than a month, but it's been a couple of years.  The only concern I had was that most of the approvals I've seen coming back are newer.  It's probably so they can play games with their average processing time.  I filed right after they published the brace rule, so I would have time to re-file electronically if there were any administrative errors.  After 5/31 we have to go paper to correct any administrative issues.  It's a frustrating process, and the best thing to do is just push it out of your mind.  I need to do that and quit reading these threads.

I asked my senator's staff what to do about my delayed FBI background check, and I have gotten no response.  I'll give them another day or two before trying to talk to my other representatives.  I read on Reddit that sometimes your rep can pressure the FBI to actually investigate your delayed NICS check and give you a proceed, but I don't know the validity of that.  I did some more research and apparently it is possible to contest a delayed (not just a denied) NICS check.  However, you need the NTN associated with each check.  I emailed the ATF and they refused to give me the NTN's, and they also said that if my background was truly clear the FBI would investigate and give me a proceed and that they already have my fingerprints.  I don't buy this claim as I know NFA NICS checks aren't subject to the Brady Law, so there is no incentive to do any manual checking on the FBI side of things.  I suppose I should get a UPIN even if it's too late.

I should add that these are for form 4's, and I've been waiting 9 months on this.  I need my suppressors because I already have mild tinnitus despite being religious with wearing hearing protection.

I wonder how good CA's return policy is?  If I get denials on all 3 I may just return them and put the money towards a lathe and some form 1's.

Not an ATF complaint, but a Capitol Armory shipped to your door Complaint.

What the fuck

Form 4 was approved April 16th - suppressor hasn't even shipped to my in-state dealer yet. Even if it ships today I won't get it until next week. That's 3 full weeks from approval to delivery. I don't even need this can its just another 5.56 suppressor but damn this is tiring. I had another can approved today, one that I actually want, and I probably won't get it until the end of May.

just curious, have you done the 4473 yet? cause once they get that I thought the mailed info to CLEO on the form and then had to wait 7 days to get it back from him once the know they received it. so you figure a extra 2 weeks there. just curious. I guess I am a CA fan boy, cause with out them I would not even be able to think about a can. cause I have no dealers near me at all with out driving 3.5 hours and I tried that and the dealer was beyond rude.

19 total stamps in the past 3 days! 16 today, 2 yesterday, and 1 from Sunday. Everything from today was signed by Trish, who is known for doing most of the batch processes. I still have about a dozen items at my FFL waiting for stamps, fingers crossed that Trish knocks out the rest of them tomorrow!

Everything here is an Eform 4, so this now proves that they do batch process the Eforms and not just the paper forms. Pretty important information for anyone else with a bunch of Eforms and they were wondering if it's possible to batch process them.

I have a 10/20/22 certification via SS website, and its amazing to see the inconsistency in timeframes posted.

Some are 7, some are 10 and some are month 12.

The nonsensical nature of their approvals makes it hard to determine where I am.

eForm 4 - INDIVIDUAL:  9 Days through 9 Months  average 6 Months

I had submitted a large amount of Eform 1s in late February and have gotten about 70% of them back.  All were submitted within 24 hours.  

Does anyone know the actual process the ATF follows for E Form 1 submissions?   It doesn’t appear to be first in, first out.  I am still waiting on the remaining approvals and they have been in limbo for over two months.  

Like all of you, I get upset when people who submitted in mid April have already been approved, and those waiting months haven’t yet.

It seems like random employees are assigned an e form at random and some do batch approvals and some don’t.  Some are fast and others much slower.

According to a video today from Washington Gun Law on YouTube, there have only been about 125,000 amnesty brace form 1 submissions as of today.  Not as many as I would have guessed.   But as the registration window ends this month, I expect to see even longer delays as the system queue gets even longer.

I hope you all get some approvals soon!

The reason it's not "first in, first out" is because of the FBI NICS. Not all background checks get a proceed at the same time. While ATF may review eForms in order and submit the RP's, the FBI background check process doesn't do the same.

They’re not even smart enough to implement a system for approving ‘batches’ or they don’t want to… or to do anything else to make the process more efficient.
I’ve got an active, current Top Secret clearance, like many, many others-and every .mil guy has at least a Secret; they could easily reference those and clear a bunch of submissions with a click.

It has nothing to do with "smart enough", it's what Congress and the FBI Information Systems are allowed to use. Nothing to do with Top Secret or Secret clearances....never has.
NICS is a name and descriptive information check. If your name and that information return no records, you get a "proceed". If multiple records are returned and one has disqualifying information then a Document Examiner has to review before issuing a proceed.

Yes- my point is that NICS could easily be made to talk to other systems where people are already vetted… NCIC would even feed a better system to querie…

NBIS is coming online that rolls JPAS, Scattered Castles, DISS and a half-dozen other intel databanks into one system…if they can consolidate these- getting NICS to do it would be a piece of cake.

They just don’t want to

I had a form 4 denied, it listed the reason as a responsible persons information was missing. I looked at the submitted form and everything looked to be in order, what gives?

E filled or paper?

Was the RP signed in ink? - usually where people mess up; you have to print that out, sign and scan back in

Efiled through SS. It says none of the information is there,   photo's, fingerprints, etc. Same examiner approved another form 4 just minutes before this was denied

Email the examiner and ask about it. Provide the denied control number and the approved one.
