NFA wait times and BS thread

Yes it is! Just checked my email and there it was. SP5 only took 10 days. SP5K took 25, I was getting worried...hard to say that when I've waited months in the past.

 

Me all excited to get to the LGS to pick up the can

Person in front of me picking up a Barrett. 50 cal can for their Barrett


Me I didn't know I could feel disappointed on tax stamp day.

 

308 and 5.56. Test fits done locks right up on the solgw nox on the 5.56

 

Those .50 cal cans are ridiculous.

 

It was yuge

 

8 months wait for me

 

Stock adapter arrived. Need to decide on sights. Thinking an Eotech 512, or I might splurge and order the XPS2 with the sage reticle. I'll also put a Magpul grip and stock on it. Going to drill the tube end out to have access to it so I can put copies of the necessary paperwork in there so I know I always have it with the launcher.

 

Looks perfect for the 4th of july.

 

My first ever stamp was approved today! Rugged Oculus. Certified on 2/24 and took 165 days.

Lucky for me my LGS doing the transfer is closed on Mondays so one more day of waiting...

 

For everyone not already aware of the mega thread on reddit that gives insight into current times, here is the link.

The E-Form process really screwed a lot of people over. ETA for a paper Form 4 in October was 4-6 months. The flood of E-Forms has pushed that to 13 months as of today. Last week it was 12 months. Next week it will probably be longer.

 

Which October were paper form 4’s running 4-6 months? I can assure you that 4-6 months hasn’t been normal for paper form 4’s in over 2 years, I’ve had 8 approved form 4’s from 2018-current and my average wait time is about 13 months.
Before eforms our shop was seeing 10-13 months for paper form 4’s.
This is a BATFE staffing/FBI NICS backlog issue and not a “OMG we’ve received so many applications with eforms, we don’t know what to do” problem.

 

The "NFA Wait Times" page on Silencer Shop's site showed an estimated 4-6 months when I paid for my suppressor and trust last October. The wait times didn't start stretching out until after the electronic Form 4s went online.

 

I bought a can last October paper form from SS
Check cashed mid November my expectation has always been a year. Can prior to that was 10 months

 

I like SiShop, I’ve used them for most of my NFA stuff, but their info is just as inaccurate as the ATF’s, ATF just recently updated the Eform estimate to 160 days from the 90 day “goal” that they had posted after 2 months of people from late January, early February asking about their statuses.
Ask your local dealer what the wait times were on their most recent approvals and you’ll see 13-14 months for paper and 5-6 months for efile.

I bought one on paper forms in November, I figure it’ll be Feb or March before I see that one.
I did an E-form 04/28 and I don’t expect to see it until November or so, and I think that’s being optimistic.

 

I already posted in the what did you buy thread but finally got to pick this guy up today!

 

Anyone have a SBS double barrel?
I seem to be having problems finding a Hammer Coach other than CZ, so I am looking at options.
I am wanting one to do a 12" SBS. I'm kinda put off from internals due to lack of the extra safety of external hammers, but thinking maybe a O/U would be interesting.

 

167 days today on my Bower's Bitty

Eform 4 Trust

 

10/22 take downs need form 4 now?
