gremlinx 20 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have atf's number, but with a form 4, do I just have them look up the serial number? With my form 1, I was given a serial number from the suppressor company... Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigj480 203 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 It seems that you have the forms confused. If you built a suppressor using a form 1, you would be the suppressor maker, not any company. So, checking the status of a form 1 shouldn't be any different than what you did for the form 4, but don't quote me on that. I've never submitted form 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gremlinx 20 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I had a suppressor built, on a form 1, hense the builder gave me a serial number... Do I just give them my gun serial number to use to check the status ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevin.rose0@gmail.com 62 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Use the serial number on line 4, box g if they want a serial number. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) save the phone call, I can tell you exactly what they will say when you call them to check on the status: "it's pending". you aren't going to get anything more then that, you just have to be patient, you aren't going to speed up the process Edited May 27, 2011 by Matthew Hopkins 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 save the phone call, I can tell you exactly what they will say when you call them to check on the status: "it's pending". you aren't going to get anything more then that, you just have to be patient, you aren't going to speed up the process The only additional information you might get is that it sat on a desk unopened for well over a month before it went pending. I agree that it is only going to piss you off so save the phone call. I am 2 months into my wait for my suppressor as of tomorrow (to the form 3 took 2 and a half months when it is only supposed to take up to 6 weeks). I figure it will take another 2 months with their current track record. FYI, I sent a change of address notice for my first suppressor (had an SBR, C&R FFL and another suppressor registered to my new address during this time), and I got the letter confirming they received my address change a year and a month after I sent it to them (sent April 10, 2010 and received May 15, 2011).

gremlinx 20 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I just want to make sure it is pending... I'm not in a hurry, my stamps come back in 40 days or less anyways... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My experience with calling in regards to an inordinate delay discovered that it had been processed & approved but the final step to actually mailing it was not done as was indeed sitting on the proverbial desk. I received it about 4 or so days after calling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For a form 4? It took 40 days for the form 3 to go through for the S-17 that should show up tomorrow at my dealer. I don't expect to get a form 4 before mid August at earliest.

gremlinx 20 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 May 6 check cash, got my Form 4 Friday the 3rd. I'm batting 2 in a row less than 40 days... I'm very pleased with that!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 May 6 check cash, got my Form 4 Friday the 3rd. I'm batting 2 in a row less than 40 days... I'm very pleased with that!!! It took almost 60 days for my SBS form 1 to go pending from the day I mailed it. The woman on the phone said I would be looking at another 4 months. I just assumed that was the timeline they give to everyone, just in case it takes that long. Hopefully it comes sooner. I was expecting a 3 month wait, which would be the end of this month. We shall see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gremlinx 20 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 That's insane. I don't know if there is truth in the alphabetic order thing, or if you hold government clearance, etc, but something has me on the fast pass... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
