Been 125 days since my Form 4 was sent off. Got a call from the NFA branch today saying that they needed some missing information for my finger print cards. I provided them the information and the lady advised me this would initiate my FBI background check.

I'm curious now if I will see an approved form come back soon. Anyone have a rough idea how long it takes from here?

About 9 months unless they start working the backlog off.

The fact that they acknowledge your forms existance at 125 days is awesome!!!

My last one was purchased 7/27/16 and it didn't show up in the system until 2/3/17. Pending date was 8/26/16, but they never touched it till February.

That was my thinking! I was shocked to hear that it was anything but pending much less moving forward.

This one was mailed 4/25/17. My last one was bought in late June 16 and didn't come back till 4/24/16 (damn having Capitol Armory to go to. Walked in and picked up my 556 can and walked out waiting on a .22 can. )

Curious what was missing?

Was it the SSN? Local dealer here says they've been calling on all of his asking for it, as it's never been a piece of info he's populated in the past.

ETA: saw your post in the other thread saying SSN was one of the items (but not sure what else was "missing")

Three things missing were SSN, place of birth, and date of birth.

You're saying it's going to take 9 additional months from this point?

I'm at about 410 days since pending. About 490 days since my purchase.

I'm going to start calling every day. I've already contacted my Congress critter and am waiting for a return call. I'm off next week, so I may have to see if he's going to be around and swing by his office.

I'd stop by Rubio's office, but he's a worthless cocksucker.

There have been a couple of posts on this site where forms have come back from late January of this year, and I did see one from mid-April.

I wouldn't count on it, but it is possible that you might have it soon.  I have 2 in from April 26th of this year.
