[Machine Gun Wait Times eForm 4]

My Form 4, done electronically via Silencerco, was approved in 2 days! Glad I was sitting down when I opened up the ATF’s email.

[INDIVIDUAL eForm 4 - New Process Decreasing Approval Times]

Check the status of your form!

I efiled a Form 4 on 20 Sept 23. Yesterday, I logged onto the ATF efile website, couldn’t find status anywhere by using my control number, to include reject tab. So, I called  304-616-4500 and waited over an hour to speak to someone. My form had been approved on 8 Feb! Called my dealer, was told that ATF was in the shop just the day before, and they hadn’t received email. When they checked their dealer folder, my approval was there! The ATF examiner mentioned there had been a recent glitch in the system, but I think it was my phone call that pushed the form through.

[WTK: Is Collar (in Return Spring Assembly) For L2A3 Sterling the Same For the L34A1 (Integrally Suppressed)]

UPDATE:

Received standard Sterling part today, the collar on it (mine had broke off approximately 1/4 of the way around) was thicker and total weight was a little over 5 grams heavier. Ran a magazine through weapon, no issues. So, I think that they are the same.

[WTK: Is Collar (in Return Spring Assembly) For L2A3 Sterling the Same For the L34A1 (Integrally Suppressed)]

Took my PAWS ZX-5 (copy of L34A1 Sterling) out today.  When I was cleaning it up, I noticed that approximately have the ridge going around the collar (holds cocking handle in place in bolt) was broken off.  Did a quick search for parts on the web, couldn't find any for the L34.  However, I found a complete return spring assembly for the Sterling for $25, was wondering if it would work.  If not, was hoping someone would recommend a source for one.

Thanks,

I am very interested in your Colt M16A1. What would be a good phone number for me to call you on Tuesday?

[SOCOM 16 Stripper Clip Insert Set Screw Size]

Come to find out, it is a tapered roll pin that must be driven out from the bottom. FYI, Springfield Armory never returned email or responded to web request- friend at work reached to someone that specializes in M1As.

[SOCOM 16 Stripper Clip Insert Set Screw Size]

After reading a recent Firearms News article by James Tarr, thought I would convert my conventional stock to the Archangel one and use the Vortex Venom red dot that mounts to the stripper clip guide via a Midwest Industries mount. This mount requires removal of the stock stripper clip insert, which has a small Allen wrench set screw holding it in place. Of course the allen wrench supplied with the MI mount doesn't work, and none of the 46 wrenches in my Wheeler Engineering kit fits. Does anyone know what size this set screw is so that I can find the proper tool to remove it?

Times like this make me miss Mike Todd, may he rest in peace.

[Best way to ship NFA items?]

UPS won't ship full auto weapons, FedEx will cost you four times as much as USPS if you insure the weapon.  I am also not a fan of USPS, but not much of a choice.

Are you still looking for a slim handguard and straight magazine?

[WTB: HK 94/MP5 or HK93/53/33 retractable stock]

I have one, not HK, only markings are 31C on shoulder of butt pad. Are you interested?  I switched to a B&T years ago, nothing wrong with this stock.

[WTK EFile 5320 Form]

All,

I submitted my first efile 5320 for a trip this March.  Got a couple of questions:

1) Should I receive anything from ATF (email) stating that they received my request?

2) How long does it take to get it signed and returned (via email) to me?

Thanks,

Lance
