F me. Not making me feel warm and fuzzy about my July submission

 

[jmike1487]

Called today to try and figure out what's the hold up. Mine is still pending from when the check was cashed on 5/17. A few more days and it will be 8 months from the check cashed day.

I'm in the same boat 1 check cashed 5/4, 3 on 5/5, 2 that were 5/6 another around 5/16. I also mailed in a form 1 on 7/3. Just sitting back and wait til I get the calls.

Not to make you feel worse, but I was just thinking about my stamps again.

I remembered Silencer Shop posting a picture of a literal pickup truck full of Form 4s that they shipped off to ATF at the beginning of July. It was $2,000,000 worth of stamps, all at once. That's ten thousand Form 4s.

They posted the picture of the truck heading to the post office on July 12th. I think anyone after that is probably a little ****ed.

My checks (two of them) were cashed just before that. I have my fingers crossed that I make it in under the wire before they start on that particular massive pile of forms.

Mine was submitted 7/7 so idk if it'd be in that truckload or not. I saw it too

You should be any day now then. Mine that cashed 5/2 was approved 12/20 and Engage got the stamp last week.

"should" being the operative word. We all know there is no rhyme or reason to the atf. He could just as easily be waiting another 6 weeks.

keep that it is actually coming soon though.

I talked about this in another thread I believe. I was told 8-10 months for form 1s. I can't speak for Form 4's. Seems like they're pretty busy.

there are varying factors, but from what I personally know E-file F1s are around the 6+ month mark and 4s were around the 8 month mark...

On ARF someone went pending at 5/5/16 and approved 1/3/17. Still waiting for the stamp to show up.

...I have 5/9 pending, so I am hoping the stamp shows up soon.

6/12 pending I am hoping before the end of Feb.

my form 4 went pending 5/4. I guess ill shoot my dealer an email and see how things are going.

They usually call you the day they receive the stamp. It's taking longer than people think.

I usually email my dealer once week when the date gets really close to 8 months. But I've also gotten 3 suppressor from him lol.

Yea I figured. I like to check in once in awhile and see what kind of return he is seeing.

Past the 8 month mark a week ago. Last time I emailed my one dealer it was back in November. Checking here and nfatracker, i am thinking probably anywhere from now till early Feb. My other form 4 went through a different dealer and I havent even sent him an email yet. I figured that one probably wont be back till sometime in March.

What wasn't pictured was the truck arriving at the actual post office. After taking the freeway at 70 mph, more than half the envelopes flew out the truck bed. So only about a thousand submissions made it in that day. It's all good.
