As simple as the eform is on the .gov site, why would you bother with SS? I've used SS for suppressor and SBR stamps, so I'm aware how that process works. I submitted for a SBR on the .gov site on 11-13, stamp in my email on 11-27. Submitted for suppressor on 11-28... View Quote |

I'm about to submit a Form 1 in the next couple of weeks (still listed as Out of Stock on SS website). This will be my first one with 41P.
Is there anyway for me to get a copy of my finger prints and photos from SS since they have all of that from a Form 4 (still pending) that I used them for from earlier this year? |

...and for half that amount, you could buy a fingerprint pad. Free cards from the ATF. In business to roll as many FP cards as you need. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

As simple as the eform is on the .gov site, why would you bother with SS? Self submission: 8 Fingerprint cards @ $7.00 each = $56.00 Parking downtown for fingerprinting = $40.00 (4 RPs @ $10 per vehicle) Time spent chasing down fingerprint cards for 4 RPs = immeasurable $96.00 + time spent if I submitted a Form 1 myself SilencerShop submission = $34.95 Time spent purchasing and filling out the Form 1= less than 1/2 hour Total savings by using SS = $60.00 plus a lot of time Even with the wait it's worth it to me............ NFA stuff requires a lot of patience and I learned to live with it a long time ago. |

mine has been in since 10/6/18 I don't think they are going to get this fixed. they held it for over 3 weeks b4 efiling it then atf had issues with ss and they(ss) said it would be 2 weeks b4 I would get an email to certify. then 30 days out from there for approval the 2 weeks and the 30 days have passed and nothing, no email nada. ss is not really handling this very well. now they get kind of short when you inquire. they should at least keep customers updated. mine has been in submitted electronically for over 10 weeks.
my form 4 had the check cashed 4 days after filing at the beginning of November. |

FYI: I bought ink pad and card holder on ebay and ordered the print cards directly from the ATF.
After a couple of practice runs I think the prints turned out fine. I would highly recommend anyone considering doing it themselves to just go ahead and do it -- it's really not that bad at all. I submitted everything like the week before the shutdown, so I have no idea if they will be accepted, but I highly doubt they will be rejected. I'll report back here if for some reason they do get rejected, but I am skeptical they do anything other than give a quick glance at them to make sure they look decent and then move on to whatever is next. |

I used SS Form 1 service right when it came out in 2017 and everything went as expected. Decided to Form 1 another lower and found this thread. I think I am willing to try the ATF eForm route. couple of questions.
1. Can SS print all RPs prints off so I can mail them in? 2. Will I need to submit any other doc besides my trust when I submit to the ATF. I think the above will help me get started. Any guidance is appreciated. |

I contacted the shop today and inquired about finger print cards. I have 4 including mine to get and was told for privacy reasons I could only get mine and not anyone elses. I get it. I may go by tomorrow and pick mine up and see what additional steps the other folks need to do in order to get theirs. 3 RPs are here in Austin and we can get them easily. The 4th is in DFW so that makes it more difficult. I am ready to start the Form 1 eform process sans their service. I have researched and already started filling out forms. It is not too complex.
I also inquired how much longer it would be until the SS would be able to offer the Form 1 service again. They said hopefully soon. They received verbal approval from the ATF a week and a half ago. They will proceed with their process once they get the approval in writing. No ETA not that. Good news yes, as for when, who knows. If I am able to go tomorrow I will post back any additional details as pertainent. |

Hey I can't wait for Silencer Shop anymore for my Form 1 and would like to verify if I am doing this right. I plan on just mailing the forms to and not doing E-File?
I am in Michigan and I was going to use Dept of Justice , Bill Schuette Attorney General in Lansing to mail my CLEO copy to, is this correct? I am mailing the Form 1 with Fingerprint card(s)and check $200.00? to this address National Firearms Act Division (ATF Forms 1 and 4) P.O. Box 5015 Portland, OR 97208-5015 On the fingerprint card Signature Official box would be my name signed, The Employer Address would be Self and my address and the Reason Fingerprinted box would be Form 1? Any Help would be appreciated |

I’ve got 3 with SS. Oldest is at about 300 days, then one submitted about 2 months after that one, and then the last got caught up in the whole ATF fiasco. Only today was able to certify that one through the ATF e-form site via number sent to me by SS.
Had one go through when they first started. Slick when it works. |

You do not need Silencer Shop to do your Form 1. E-file is really simple. I did my first one in January and it is super easy. My Form 1 came back in 30 days.

The ONLY thing that makes SS worth it is digital finger prints.
I've done 3 different ones since November. Got my prints done by a place that does them digitally, and saves them. I can roll in a and have two cards printed up in minutes for $20. Done. Yeah, yeah...roll your own. I have enough shit cluttering up my office. |

I'm not certain they're doing much with them right now. I had all three of mine go through them to get resigned, all of them linked to the EForm page to get that done, then one of them immediately said fingerprints mailed. The other two are pending review. This all happened on 2/25. Seems like they turned it on, it started to process, then it stopped again. View Quote |

How do you figure SS has stopped doing anything? Once the application is accepted into the efile system and SS mails the fingerprints, the rest is all BATF. It sounds like two of your forms are waiting for the BATF to start the review, and one the BATF hasn't got around to yet. What status do you expect them to have.

I stopped by yesterday and today and got my finger print cards and one of my RPs prints. The third person is having them mailed. Just one more to go. Per the two different people I talked to, they have a 1000 or so back log. They have just rewritten their software to accommodate the new process and when they get written approval they will begin to move those through. If all goes smoothly, they will turn the Form 1 process back on. If you have all your prints on file with them I believe it is worth it especially if the RPs are in different locales. My time is worth more than the $40 for the service but to each his own. I am ordering my lower tommorow and should be able to submit in a couple of weeks.

Quoted: SS had to halt their process, ergo stop submitting paperwork. They have that 1000+ to go through and will be emailing customers to make a few additional steps in the process to get things in motion again. Part of that is sending the prints to the ATF which I believe they have started as it was pointed out to me the 8-9 medium priority USPS boxes that were being wheeled out while I was there - “those are all finger prints”. They are working as fast as they can but are subject to the speed of the Fed. Add a 30+ day shut down and 1000+ in backlog and things get complicated. In the several years I have done business with them they have always been up front and set expectations. I do understand in regards to that your mileage may very. View Quote |

I'm aware of the history. My comment was directed to jhereg, who seemed to imply that the process is stopped again after being restarted becaus he hasn't seen any status change on his items since 2/25. My point is that there is nothing to indicate that means the process is stopped again. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
