Good luck!  I sent mine in on Oct. 31 and they got there on election day.  I am hoping for late December/early January, but expecting a longer wait.  I am also getting ready to send in two or three form 1's.

Keep us updated.

Good Luck, and have patience.  If your getting your getting your item from Mark, (BookHound) try to give the guy a break.  Some people call him everyother day asking if their forms are back yet.  In the thirty minutes my wife and I were there , the phone just kept ringing and he kept saying, no man it's not back yet.  He will call you or email you as soon as he gets it back. I mailed mine off on about the 8th of Sept, check cashed 11 Sept,  Mark emailed me last Tuesday night that the form 4 was back.  Picked up my m4-2000 from BookHound Sunday.  He is really good people, he let me get it then instead of waiting for Monday.

Nope, and once the checks get cashed I'm basically gonna forget about 'em till I get the call from the crack dealer.

Thats the best way to handle it.

The less time he's taking those calls them more time he can work with new or returning customers.

Mine just went out today. Thanks again Mark for all the assistance.

PS. Since they are now mailed to Atlanta, this is where the clearance/approval is handled?

Not quite.  From my understanding they are mailed to Atlanta, money removed and checks cashed, from there they are sent to Virginia or West Virgina one by mail and that is where they are approved/denied.

Ok thanks for the info....A friend of mine works for the BATFE here in ATL. He told me to contact him in a couple of weeks and he would look into it for me. Maybe he can help...maybe he can't!!!

7 years ago Atlanta had the entire licensing center I believe but they are decentralizing it.

BH: is my form back?  should I call every day to check now?

yes, do call book every day at 9 and again at 5. and sometimes during lunch, he really likes that!

Dont forget to email at least once a day in case you miss Mark on one of his runs to AAC. Remember the more pressure we put on Mark, the more likely he is to call the BATFE and get our stuff pushed to the top of the pile.

And a certified letter so he has to go to the post office and sign for it, don't forget that!

Huh, I was just gonna call him every hour between 8 and 8.  He ignores his email too much.

You can call the NFA branch to check on the status of a form Just know who the seller and buyer is and the Serial number of the NFA item.  Their number is304-616-4500 .  Just do not call them every day :)

They will tell you if it is:
In the system
Pending
Approved

and the dates.

Here are my last time lines for form 4's for a corp Xfer from Bookhound

Mailed Day 0
Check Cashed Day 6
Pending Day 42
Approved Day 89
In my Grubby Hands Day 93
