ATF eForm 1 mega thread. Process and approvals!

[JRT]

As with everything the ATF does this notice to the federal register is cryptic. It does mention additional eFile capabilities and reduction in paper. This may be the 60 day comment period leading up to the release of Form 4 eFile.

Federal Register :: Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed eCollection eComments Requested; Revision of a Currently Approved Collection; Application for Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of Firearm-ATF Form 4 (5320.4)

I received an approval email on a Sunday once. Don’t count out the weekend. I’ve done 9 or 10 eForms and I feel like they come later in the day.

Now that is interesting. I figured it would be typical gov agency crap (9-4 M-F)....

 

[CoastieRon]

Was able to get away and have my lower(s) engraved today. I can't say enough good things about Tony @ 2AEngraving. Did both lowers as I waited, and it took like no time at all.



It mad a really cool sci-fi sound too....

Just got the call that my Omega9k knockoff stamp came in today. Unfortunately it will be a bit before I can pick it up.

 

[Steelitall]

Prints arrived 2 weeks ago today. I keep refreshing my email, hoping....

That's nothing. I about died of email anxiety yesterday since I've been waiting on my stamp AND we had a offer in on a house. Didn't get the house, so I'm hoping the ATF sees fit to send the stamp soon. I'm in need of some stress relief.

The eForms site is currently down. How am I supposed to confirm, on an hourly basis, that my Form 1 is Submitted/In Process? This is madness.

It’s down every Wednesday. You will get an email the second it clears.

I suppose that depends on your definition of "too long."

Yeah, my 2 cans were submitted the 3rd week of June, and they both came in this past month.

It amazes me that my eForm 1's take 15 days, +/-, and a paper Form 4 takes 10 months. I mean, WTF?

I currently have six in jail. I work hard to forget them, and then when I get the call, it's just like Christmas come early.

That's just a form 1. I don't have anything else pending (yet)

Honestly, they could bring in a ton of revenue if they processed Form 4s in a timely manner.

Yeah, I am pretty happy with my silencer collection. I can kind of cover all my bases, but if I knew I could buy the can and get it in 30 days or less, I def would be buying more.

If Mass wasn't so retarded about such things, I'd be buying them all day long! There was a cop at the range last weekend with a .30 cal can shooting subsonic. What a treat that was to experience!

Get yourself a friend in NH and do a trust. You fund the purchases and your friend holds on to the cans. Join a range near the friend and shoot away. If you're in the trust as a RP you can posses the suppressors in all 42 suppressor legal states in the country. This applies to SBR, SBS and machine guns. F Mass.

I know the ATF can not change what's within the realm of the NFA registry, however change has to start someplace.

“While DOJ and ATF have historically not supported removal of items from the NFA, the change in public acceptance of silencers arguably indicates that the reason for their inclusion in the NFA is archaic and historical reluctance to removing them from the NFA should be reevaluated. ATF’s experience with the criminal use of silencers also supports reassessing their inclusion in the NFA.”

Nothing would make me happier. Don't care at all about my wasted tax stamp money.

Me too!.

I'm on day 20...the suspense is killing me. I e-mailed them today and they got right back to me within an hour. Said my prints were processed and waiting for the ATF Examiner to review. Hopefully I don't go to the back of the line for inquiring.
