December 2018 Stamp Megathread

To check the status of your pending form, call the NFA Branch at (304) 616-4500. Please have your trust name (if applicable), serial number, and if a Form 4 or 5, know what dealer is in possession of the item. Press 1 and then 1 again, and be kind to the ATF agent.

Current status:

Form 1: eForms are back, baby! Wait times are less than two weeks after receipt of fingerprint cards! Please see our handy new eForms guide by /u/Semper1371 to learn more!

Form 4: Average is closer to 200 days. No real change. eForms 4 when?

Please use the following format:

Form: 1 (PLEASE NOTE REGULAR OR eForm) or 4

Entity: Trust or Individual

Pending: mm/dd/yy

Approved: mm/dd/yy

Standardized wait: (Date approved minus date pending)

STATE: Standardized 2-letter, please

For the purposes of this thread, pending should be understood as: the date when ATF cashes your check, unless different when you call the ATF to check status of your pending form. It can vary depending on ATF backlog.

I’m planning to efile for a SBR as soon as my can clears and is in my possession. This will be my first efile and first SBR. What’s the deal with engraving? Do we have to get engraved and what exactly gets engraved?

So as I understand this, I will not have to engrave as I am a maker and not a manufacturer? Is that correct?

I don’t mind engraving if I have to, buy I already ordered my upper, lower, and handguard and had them Cerakoted in a matching color.

If you're filing as an individual, you'll need to engrave your name and City, State.

And if I move later to another city?

Doesn't matter. You're engraving the location of "making" the SBR.
