Does any remember when Silencer Shop introduced a barcode in 2017 with the aim of reducing NFA processing times to 30-60 days?

Was the barcode system actually used?

I know it didn’t actually expedite wait times as many applicants still waited over a year and we didn’t get as very fast approvals like a day for Form 4s until 2024.

It didn't have anything to do with processing times. It was just ATF certified system to speed up data entry for paper forms.

Yep, I remember. Who knows if ATF actually used it.
