Waiting on a form 4 right now. The predicted time to approval was.... yesterday. Now that the e-file system is supposed to be up I need to order something else.

I wouldn't hold your breath on the Eform 4s, I would give it 4-8 weeks to work the kinks.  Id rather paper file and see how the Eforms works out for other people.     When did you file a form 4?  I filed one back in July for a sheen gun and sure would like it to get approved.  Where are you coming up with a predicted time?

I am but a mere peasant.  If I can save up and buy a couple machine guns, anyone can.  I drive a 20 year old truck and eat Ramen noodles.

Are you paying for college for one kid with another going in a couple years? That is where my gun money is going. lol

Teenagers cost a lot to even feed ramen to... We go though it and ketchup by the truck load.

No college yet, but I have 4 kids from 7-14 that can eat me out of house and home

Why does it take so long from approval to actually receiving the stamp?

Because they can.  What incentive do they have to move any faster?

There are a lot of factors at play here.  

A common answer used to be that examiners would only mail things out a few times a month.  I think that's a thing of the past and most current examiners mail at least once a week.  

Another factor is just the post office in general.  Coworkers recently got married and I found out about the wedding the week before.  My invitation arrived two months after the wedding.  They sent it three months before the wedding.  Five months to go from her house to mine and a distance of about 6 miles.  

The final factor, at least with form 4 transfers is that the approved form is sent to the dealer or seller.  Then you are at their mercy as to when they notify you.

Why would they hurry? Have you never been around gubbermint workers in any form? 

Now, if they got paid by the # of approvals they would indeed get off their ass.
