NFA wait time 9-19-13

[orientalexpress]

I submitted paperwork the last week of November 2012. I called them yesterday and the woman I spoke to told me it was approved the September 13th and it would be mailed out within 30 days. So if I get it here by the end of the month it'll be about 10 months.

Did you have it kicked back for correction or anything??  I submitted a F4 in Jan and got mine back in early August.

No i didn't have to get anything corrected. The only thing I can think is maybe because it was done under a trust. Also it was actually in the mail today.

[scoutfsu]

Mine was a trust too.  That's really odd that yours took so much longer than, well, pretty much everyone else.  I hope that doesn't turn out to be the same story for my 2 F4's...

I had 2 form 4s sent in Nov that errored in April and i still got them back by July, also on a trust.

[orientalexpress]

Maybe I'm just unlucky.

Could have also been your case handler I have heard some are slower at getting work done than others.

Some examiners are faster than others. Our examiner has a history of being slow. Now they have assigned one person to do a few states rather than luck of the draw like before. My last one was by SantaMaria and took 97 days. She has a history of being extremely quick.

Here is the examiner list:

I have had two Form 1's submitted since April 1 and went pending June 29. Hoping to have it by December.

Talked to a Class III guy today.  They are getting about 17,000 forms a month.  The have some interns doing the initial paperwork, and then sending to the agents.  Got to be a crap job.  There are 2 pendings now, too.  Initial pending and final pending.

I purchased a couple of suppressors this week and was told the current wait time was 15-18 months. Ouch!

Form 4 submitted early Feb approved Oct 28. Not yet received.

 

Submitted mine 2/6 and still no word.  Surely I'll get it any day now.

Yupppppppp! I'm with you scout. I'm tired of waiting months and months, then some more months. I have yet to even call on my two in right now. One went in June, and the other July. So we'll see...

They don't give out pending dates anymore so it wouldn't do you much good to call.  They are now quoting 9 months from date received.
