Mailed my f4 out this morning, now just have to wait.
I don’t know if this is a record but it might be.
I transfered a suppressor to an individual (not a trust) and the form 4 only took 7 business days to approve and get back to me. Hell, the form 3 transfer took longer then that!
That’s right, 7 business days, from the time the ATF received it until I got it in the mail. :eek:
I guess its hit or miss.
My RR M16 hasnt even transferred to the dealer yet! Its been about 6wks.
How well do you know the dealer? I often suspect that the dealers don’t do things when and as quickly as they say they do.
not very well. But he is on subguns list of “reputable dealers”.
I don’t think it’s malicious or criminal or anything, I just don’t think they’re as excited as we are since they have no personal stock in receiving it.
David, first your using the wrong dealer, IMHO. 
Second, my form 3’s are running about 15 - 30 days on average, something that should only really take a few days, but that’s another story.
Form 4’s out to customers are going 30 - 90 days on average, with the one at 7 days being an outlier.
I used Harlan because he had the M42k in stock and I gotta spread the love around anyway. 
When it comes time to buy my 9mm upper and suppressor, you know where Ill be going
Forgot to update earlier…
13 days from door to door form my Form 4, transferred to a trust. My first form 4, but I had a form 1 previous to that, so my trust was already processed before.
35 calendar days from when the 2 Form 4s (SBR & Suppressor) went into the mail box to BATF&E, to when I got the call from my FFL/SOT (2 days ago) that the Forms were back with the Stamps and items ready to be picked up. These were regular submissions (CLEO signoffs, fingereprints, etc.), not Trust or LLC.
Edited to add: P.S., if you ever need a good FFL/SOT in Nrothern VA for an NFA transfer, call Farrokh at Innovative Tactical Solutions. Great experience from start to finish – would use him again in a heartbeat (and surely will . . . )
Mailbox to mailbox Dec 4 to January 19. Considering the holidays falling in there not too shabby.
Individual, not trust or corp
quick question guys,
Do I need to fill out proof of citezenship fomrs when using a trust?
Yes. I am 99% sure you must but you may not have to.
I am SBRing my lower now and I will fill out a citizenship form. Thanks for reminding me. I forgot about that part. I was hoping to have it all done this weekend.
Yes. Just one per NFA.
OK so I need my form 4 and 1 cert. of compliance per NFA, and cert. of trust. Im using a trust so that all I need to send, right?
I didn’t. I have three transfers on my trust in the last year. I just fill out the form 4 and include a copy of my trust.
