2016 NFA wait time

[TheGhost27]

It's longer than 8 months right now

A friend of mine got his form 1 back last week and it took 7 1/2 months...

And I know multiple people that are over 8 'months substantially. Nfatracker also shows over 8 months wait as well

I'd be 8 months as of 12/22.
Its been so long, I sometimes forget that I even have AK Pistol in box under my bed...

About what I figured.
The idea is that MY wait time can/will be considered a Time Base for everybody else.

If you're waiting on a Can and I'm still waiting on mine then know you have some more waiting to do. Conversely, when I DO get mine others out there can know that their waiting period should be nearing its end.

FINALLY!!!! Approval and Stamp came Saturday 12/3. Check was cashed on 4/11/16. That is just short of 8 months. Classic example of Government bureaucracy at work. Picking up the Griffin Armament Optimus tomorrow.

That's a great idea, thanks for helping us out. You should start a thread about NFA wait times.

My May 9th form 1 efile was approved Nov 3, 174 days. I'm late on the update, forgot to post it when it came back.

That's my Idea.

Send the Forms in and start Next Years Thread.

Hey man, thank you so much for being the light in our darkest hours! Please post updates as soon as you get them so we can keep up with this madness. Thank you again, from each and every one of us here in the forum

These are my observations from the last year and a half playing the nfa game

Form 1s are faster than form4s. I believe it's because they are already entered and don't have to be done. Not always but on average. That's not factoring in the form 3 to dealer times either.

As we get closer to the 41p deadline times will go up. I've been saying 18 months for those submitted at the deadline. I hope I'm wrong. Some of the times are promising that I've seen.

There is no rhyme or reason for approvals. I've submitted within a week of a buddy twice. One time his came back weeks before mine and another I got mine first.

With 41p there is no reason this can't be automated with the nics check and be instantaneous. Of course if the hearing protection act goes through this is a moot point too
