Bill in Bama Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I got notice last night of an e-filed Form 4 approval, the approval date was yesterday, 2-13-24, and I file in on 12-22-23. I think that is a modern record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffshot Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 that's for Form 4 transfers and not Form 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslingerdoc Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 From my experience and looking at Atf’s stats on their site efile is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwallace84 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Please let this be true! my last form 4 suppressor from capital armory took 76 days, efile. but I just did my first transferable and submitted the efile form 4 last week. Here’s to at least hoping that I’ll get it for most of the summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyboy Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 E-Form 4 filed 10/13/23, received 2/15. Pretty much 4 months on the dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_O Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 I had a 1/5/2024 submission approved 2/16/2024. I couldn't believe it. I'm still waiting on another one from last May lol, but still very happy about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 I had one come back over the weekend for someone, it took 48 days.....but yet I have eform 4's that are pushing 11 months....makes no snese at all!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 had 2 eForm 4s recently come back in 4 weeks. Fingers crossed that my paper form 4 follows suit. The engineer in me keeps trying to figure out what changed or why some scenarios go fast but I can't come up with any pattern. I'm definitely going to buy more cans if this keeps up though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorwso Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 just had 4 come back in two weeks i guy bought 3, last month, got another 1.5 weeks ago its aproved the other 3 had a shit examiner, still noy approved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun_nerd Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 I had two purchases on eform 4s submitted in Aug '23 that were approved mid-Jan '24 (about 5 months). I then had a third eform 4 submitted around thanksgiving that was approved in Jan a day or two after the first two (47 days). So, as others have said they appear to be batching the approvals.

Bill in Bama Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 I just sent off five 3-file Form 4's (all same customer) so we'll see how long it takes this time. Maybe at some point before I die they will get routine transfer times down to their stated goal of 2 months or less. Maybe pigs will start bombing Washington too.

Got Uzi Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 But what no one is able to answer is WHY?? Why are we seeing this kind of turn around yet other people are still waiting 10-12 months on eForm 4's.....something doesn't add up here. Are they letting the others sit so they can process the new ones in record time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The efile EFT as individual method seems to be great. And also I had an approved from 4 can, and several (non brace amnesty) form 1’s from later last year. Not sure if having that EFT file associated with those helped in any meaningful way at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioBrett Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Suppressor, submitted 2/10, approved 2/27. Last year did "paperwork" in April, somehow submitted in June, approved in November. The one before that, 366 days. So it's slooooowly getting better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill in Bama Posted February 29 Author Report Share Posted February 29 4 hours ago, M60D said: Possibly just not as many weapons changing hands these days for F4 transfers Three weeks ago the system showed 194,xxx transfers in the works (Form 4). So I don't think it's slowing down any. The transfer times then showed 188 days for e-file and 201 days for paper. 13 days difference might not even be worth the effort if there's a glitch in the system. Of course, my 53 day e-file transfer approval defies those numbers, but as has already been stated, there's no rhyme or reason to when one gets approved. That was true when it was all paper and it still applies with e-file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asebullshark Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Pretty Darn Good: Submitted for a transfer to Form 4 on January 11, 2023; approved February 22, 2023. 42 days. Best: Submitted for a transfer to Form 4 on February 24, 2024; approved March 6, 2024! 13 days!!! Both of those were electronic filings on Form 3s to Form 4s. I really hope this is an indication of the Bureau really getting things in order. I haven't tried to transfer any of my much older items that are on paper forms.

Abbey Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I’ll be a test case.
