Sherriff was on vacation for two weeks !!! WTF...over. After he got back it took him 3 days to get to my forms. I guess he had alot of other "more important" things to do but what could be more important than my form 4's Anyway the ball is now in motion...

the wait is what causes people to buy shit they don't need out of sheer anxiety. When I was waiting on my F1 and F4(same time), I bought all kinds of crap, not even all gun stuff. The wife was uber pissed, but it filled my waiting stress.

Best of luck with your wait, I sent mine in (trust tranfer) at the end of June and only just now do those fuckers have them approved and on the way  back.......

From what I here, they are quick about cashing your check, like within a week or two.

Typical Government, Takes your money and then takes their sweet time in giving you back anything for it.

They cashed my check within 3 days of having sent my latest Form 4 in.  Sent in on 2/21, cashed check in 2/24.

Why do they do it as a debit/electronic transfer instead of the check I sent in?

You call the NFA branch and give them the serial number.  However there is no point in calling for at least one month after they cashed your check.

Hm....that usually ends in homicide. Both for the person doing it AND the guy who told him to.

Just something to think about.

If you don't have some patience, the NFA game is very frustrating.  

They can cash your check and it immediately go pending.  Or, they can cash your check and it not going pending for MONTHS.  Once in pending they could approve it that day or it could sit in "pending" for months.  When the examiner says they "mailed it" back it can take WEEKS to arrive at the dealer.

If they cashed your check just relax.  There is nothing more you can do and continuing to think about it will just drive you crazy.  Trust me on that.

And for the record I am in the same boat with you!  I've been waiting months on some Form 4s.

you should call the FFL who sold it to you and ask  them.  they can get more information than the BATFE can.

I won't even think about calling them for at least another month.

Geez, you would think after 4 of the damn things, they would sort of "express" you through, but I guess that would make too much sense.

My last one took 5 months.  I think a lot of it has to do with which examiner you get.

This is my first one not bought from Book, but he was very helpful although he did growl at me a bit.
