Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire ATF E forms, aint 90 days

I did one right before xmas and it wasnt part of the new system. I am told it is getting moved to the new system and my lgs said I should expect something any day now. They are seeing alot of those Decembers starting to get approved. Fingers crossed.

LGS told me that they've seen several eForm 4 approvals in 70-80 days for individuals; 100-120 days for those done on a trust. Of course YMMV.

I have a couple in the eForms queue, but not fretting it. Can't do anything to speed them along, so why get all worked up. As long as I see them before 1 Oct, I'll be satisfied.

I agree that a Form 4 (or eForm 4) is pure and utter BS. But they are a 'cash cow' for the feds; not to mention the epitome of government inefficiency.

When I was stationed in the U.K. I simply went into the local hardware store or gun shop and bought a 'muffler', as the blokes call them, over the counter. No questions asked. Should be the way it's done here. No different than buying a scope or magazine.

A buddy just got the call on a Form 4 can this week. 1 year, start to finish.

BADGES? WE DONT NEED NO STINKN BADGES!

I have all of you beat. Submitted a Form 1 on a pistol brace April 25th, and it was disapproved today. Didn't like my passport picture.

I'd be damned if I'm giving the Biden freak show an interest free loan for a year plus.

Once it's "moved" you still have to certify it in the new system at your dealer and the clock doesn't start until then. I went through the exact process with one I submitted in November. Got moved and finally certified in eForms in February and still waiting.

Form one for a pistol brace? Enlighten me just a little bit here. Is this a pistol brace of your personal design to get approved?
Or a homemade suppressor going on a pistol brace item?

He was turning a pistol braced pistol into a sbr I would imagine

Yes, my Haga Defense brace has a 13.5 LOP which is going to be a no no come August. So if I don't want to become a felon overnight like millions of other owners, I can go the SBR route, wait a cool decade for a court to throw it out, or hope Congress tells ATF they've gone too far.

I don't believe there will be a amnesty, grace period, grandfather clause or free tax stamp. Not with this admin. So I'm trying to get this done before the stampede of Form 1's.

I got an email from my LGS today ..... they're claiming an average of 81 days.

It's been longer than that for me and I am ex-military with a top secret clearance, a CWP, a Curio and Relic license and a TSA pre checkmark .... plus I'm heterosexual married to a white woman and I go to church every other Sunday.

Oh, errrr wait.

Same here

I'm at 14 months on a paper one. In truth, its been 16 months because the dealer let it sit for two months before they bothered mailing it in.

If Justice Thomas writes the NY pistol permit ruling, I am hoping he states the 2nd amendment is to be always condsidered under strict scrutiny. In a true just, world, most of the gun control laws, federal, state, and local would then be unconstitutional. Including the NFA and GCA of 1968. Certainly the ATF registry in WVA.

All gun laws are already unconstitutional.

I eform certified mine 2/21/22 - so still under the 90 days but anxiously waiting to hear some good news.
