The NFA Fast Track (How capitalism might expedite ATF Class III items)

[TGO David]

Check this out.  Pretty cool.  Once again, capitalism and the private sector prove that they can do anything the Government can do, faster and cheaper.

 

Without rule changes, regulation amendments, politicians or legislation, a partnership between the U.S. government and a small private industry group has dramatically changed the process in which National Firearms Act (NFA) controlled items are transferred between individuals and entities. There is now a system in place within the BATFE’s NFA Division, that will allow nearly everyone who files a Form 4 to transfer controlled items, such as silencers, a genuine chance at receiving approved forms in a few short months. Alongside the ATF, three silencer industry stalwarts spearheaded the best modernization of the registry in 83 years: Dead Air Armament, GEMTECH and Silencer Shop.

The goal is to have wait times down to a fraction of current levels.

This is excellent news for the collective but very bad news for my wallet. I am ordering a can from them on Monday to put their new system to the test.

Once upon a time - even in the Obama years - Jeff Meister gave me a call with 5 approved Form 4s that had gone door to door in 41 days.  

With the computer submission that we use today there is zero reason they couldn't do it same day if they wanted to.

I was going to say the same thing, but let's be honest, they don't. Or it'll all go out the window in four years when another Democrat is elected.

Have you got to use or see the new silencer shop kiosk at the Nashville armory yet? It's a pretty sweet set-up.

Congrats on the new suppressors!  Hopefully, it won't take a year for you to get them out of jail.

One of my buddies was in the first unannounced batch of 3,000 bar code test submissions. I've ordered a Sandman K and am excited about not having to wait 12-14 months like I did for my pre-41f submissions.

It's now been over a year wait on my suppressor.  Hopefully I'll get it by the end of the year!

I had the opportunity to use kiosk last week and I am impressed! I was in and out and less then 10 minutes. Whereas before, it would take 45 minutes to an hour to manually complete the paperwork.

380 days!  Hopefully the nfa fast track will make an improvement.

[Esko 270]

I would guess it's really hard to just forget about it  after waiting this long. When I started with my wait in January I thought by now they would have been caught up. wrong! Good luck

9 months seems to be the longest I have had a customer wait recently.  We are hopeful for 6 month waits on our latest submissions. The KIOSK  *is* a very nice addition... and you dont have to buy it from a KIOSK dealer to get that benefit...
