"Who is my NFA Examiner?"

General Firearms NFA

Starting 7-2-2011, there is a shuffle going on in the NFA Examiner World.

Previously you were assigned, as an individual by the first initial of your last name or as a Corp/Business by the first letter of you company name.

Starting 7-2-2011 you will be assigned by the State you live in

Attached should be a copy of the letter from BATFE…

Below is the approx times that yuor examiner is averaging…you have to add “both” numbers to get a seudo- accurate total of days you are going to wait after mailing it off…

I’m curious to see if this improves wait times or makes them longer.

3

The attachment for the examiner is pretty small. Try to resize it

Here is a link to one that is easy to read.

Its interesting to put a name to the person reviewing your paperwork, rather than it being some ambiguous “other”.

Sounds like my guy is in the middle of the pack. I’m guessing their average times have more to do with volume and sick days than much anything else.

6

This only impacts those mailed after July 1st right?

7

I keep tryin to forget about my stamp and everytime I do someone posts something lol. STOP it! Just be patient! lol

8

Does anyone other than me feel a bit nerdy knowing the names of government bureau employees as if they were players on a pro sports team?

9

nope i talk to my examiner when ever i need something or help. been a nice person for years. not the jack booted thugs like the alpha soup folks.

nice person
we both love dogs and rescue them

i may be nerdy but it doesn’t bother me.
dont worry about it, u are in good company.

good luck

With the increase in applicants using Trusts, maybe these examiners are well versed in their respective States’ trust law.

11

Great, I get the guy with the most states, Shipman has 9 more than any other examiner. He should be clogged for decades…

12

Where did these numbers come from? Says 53 days from pending for my examiner and I’m over 75 and still waiting…

13

tag for later reading

14

Back in june my examiner was Frushour, when I called a couple weeks back its now Shipman.

15

Santamaria - 39 Days from Pending till Approved…LMAO

I have been pending a Form 1 since May 25th and she is the examiner.

Guess she decided to change her time line and make it longer.

16

Nicole Dudash’s times look acceptable :cool: get it girl :sarcastic:

sounds like me every time I have a gun-related package on the way, constantly ‘reloading’ the FedEx or UPS tracking page

17

What?

Date sent to stamps received is the total time. Pending to approved is a chuck of that. You wouldn’t add the two numbers. Can you please clarify?

18

IA and HI not free states when it comes to NFA. MN doesn’t allow silencers which are the most transferred NFA weapon.

The other states are mid to low population states.

The assignment by state was figured by taking the total transfer by each state and dividing them up equally so each examiner has roughly the same number of transfers to process, but could have more or less states, depending on population and if the state is NFA friendly.

19

Please explain? MO is plenty NFA friendly, actually just had a law change making it EASIER to possess NFA items. Prior to it you had to have an FFL(C&R sufficed), now you no longer need the FFL.

I wasn’t aware of that. I see this law takes into effect on 8/28/2011
