MindCrime Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Does anyone know the status on the BATFE Form-4 e-file? I was told late Summer or in the 4th quarter of this year as they are working out code issues. It would be nice to have a 1 month wait instead of 8 months.

mstrmstr Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 First trial swarmed their servers. Trial of new server system probably early 2020. The snafu still is the paper FP cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 the fingerprint cards have nothing to do with it. They are having issues with their programs. They cannot coordinate and process a form 1 for reactivation from a form 5 machine gun. Until that is handled an efile form 4 is out of the question. Even if it's done, times are unlikely to drop all that fast if at all since that's where the volume is, and that takes examiners, that they apparently don't have? It's now been "years" and they haven't caught up, they obviously don't have a plan to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miacovet Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 To throw in my .02, I called the NFA branch and I asked a few questions and they said there wasn't any estimated eta. for the e file form 4 to start working and it unfortunate.

challenger70rt Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Yeah, I did the same via email, but then again, they almost assuredly wouldn’t tell us anyway even if they had one, which I’m sure they do. A) because they hate us, and B) because they’re the govt and they do as they please for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
