Plan ahead - Form 5320.20 took 6 weeks

[Theoldhag88]

I called today. They said the wait is 60-90 days.

 

[Theoldhag88]

Not sure why this got sent back, was it because of the postage or was it refused at NFA branch?

 

[atilla]

they stamped POSTAGE DUE on it twice, so i'd guess that was why.

 

[Theoldhag88]

resent today, lets see how long this takes.

 

[Theoldhag88]

so i recieived my form back for corrections around the 10th and sent it back in, and now they have no record of me ever submtting it.

has anyone else recieived one back for corrections with a sheet that tells you exactly what they need corrected and for it to be sent back with the corrected docs?

yes.

i promptly forgot to send that back. i called and the person who answered the phone said it was no big deal.

i've since called and my shit is still pending. no record for you is no bueno. do you have proof they cashed your check?

 

[warwickben]

yes.

So I still haven't lost the bet !!!

 

[Theoldhag88]

my stamp is good to go, this was a 5320.20 to transport it to NH.

 

[atilla]

So I still haven't lost the bet !!!

not yet.

 

[Theoldhag88]

got my approved 5320.20 back today, the boom stick can now go north of mass.

 

[hv55maxx]

can i assume a 5320.20 is to transport an NFA item across state lines?


seriously considering this in the future and would like to know all i can first

 

[Theoldhag88]

yes it is, or if you are moving permanently

 

[mordeeb]

Have they ever thought to maybe not make people fill this form out unless they are actually moving to the location? I am sure this would save time for the NFA branch...

 

[Theoldhag88]

I'm sure they have, but they have to track those dangerous weapons!

most folks submit one in january as it can be good for a year IIRC.

 

[Theoldhag88]

mine goes from 1JAN-31DEC

 

[soam]

Mailed in my 5320.20 for trips to NH today, so we'll see what the wait time is like. I'm hoping that with their improving times processing Form 1s and 4s that they've also gotten better with 5320.20s.

 

[Theoldhag88]

keep us posted, im about to send another one off as well.

 

[GP89]

I just got one back in 2.5 weeks. Mailed Apr 4, approved date stamp of Apr 10, received yesterday.

 

[Theoldhag88]

what did you send with yours?

 

[Theoldhag88]

just sent one out today, lets see how long this takes.

 

[willbdavis]

I'm filling out my first 5320.20.

What do you guys put for "5. Reason for transportation of firearm?" My reason would be for the NES Monadnock get-togethers.

Is "Exhibition" an appropriate answer?

 

[Theoldhag88]

i always put "attending multiple training events in NH for CY14.

 

[mordeeb]

Do you have to put down an exact address like if i want to go to a couple different ranges and then shoot at a friends house all out of state what do i put down?

 

[alpha1]

No, you only need one address in the state to which you are traveling reflected on your 5320.20. This will cover you for travel within the entire state.

 

[mordeeb]

i put down "multiple" for the actual street address

 

[alpha1]

You need a psychical addy.

 

[JuergenG]

You need a psychical addy.

Mad House, Concord, NH?

 

[alpha1]

Not psycho....psychical

 

[mordeeb]

Guess we will see, I said that I am going to multiple gun ranges which is true as well as other places.
