Has anyone transferred anything out of state on a Form 4 lately?  How long is the transfer time taking?

Just form 4s are taking at least 4-4.5 months. Whereas they were taking 60-90 days last year. Theyre really backed up right now.

I'm waiting on a form 1 (silencer) that I submitted July 29. Went pending Aug 29.

Yeah, I submitted 3 form 4s, & a form 1 on July 19th & got them 2 weeks ago. Last year was barely over 60 days door to door.

Given the more-recent entries on NFAtracker, it appears that most examiners are just now approving F4's with pending dates (which can be as much as a month after check cash) from late July.

They switched to a new system July 1 where examiner is assigned by state instead of transferor initial...we now have Albert Lamberger. That said, the backlog appears almost uniform across all examiners. They also are a man down since Shipman recently retired and Flanigan left a few months ago...only one person replaced them both.

Strap in and wait is all we can do, I guess. I have a couple double-F4 transfers just initiated within the last month or so that I don't really expect to get until Aug-Sept.

I'm around 95 days pending on a form 4.  I really don't expect approval until late January or sometime in February.

I sold a full-auto lower on form 4 to a guy in OK.  I submitted the paperwork to his dealer on 9/20 and got the stamp on 11/15

They cashed my check on Aug 31st for my Draco form 4.

Still don't have anything.
