So I called the ATF and got Laura, mentioned that at COB I’d be at day 30 since my form 4 was approved, she did mentioned that I should have my SOT contact them to request the certified copy (takes about 2 weeks she said) today, 15 May to make the request.

She was not sure if the 30 days was calendar or business (M-F).

@LouisRShipka So am I correct in that I as the responsible recipient on the approved form 4 have to call and request the certified copy, or do I have to have the individual SOT request this from them?

Based on your customers issues, it looks like they’re now saying 60 business days (minus Holidays, too) before a cert. copy will be issued?

Sounds…[Read more]

I’m in VA with my 45 can approved the same day…we’re coming up on day 30 since approval soon…oh the fun!

For what it’s worth, I had two other form 4’s approved on 3/29/2017 and picked them up a month ago this week…not so lucky with the 4/12/2017 approval day

Still awaiting receipt of the Obsidian 45 form 4 at my SOT…30th day will be later this week since the form 4 was approved (4/12/2017)…

So I’ve gathered that I need to contact my SOT to request a certified copy if they do not receive the stamp once day 30 has come to pass…Is that right?

Yeah I think by next Thursday/Friday (30th day), I’ll have the SOT call for a certified copy…the first two came in on the second week (either a day or three before I picked them up…he’s an hour or so away from me).

Still waiting in VA with ya…Obsidian 45 approved 4/12/17. Prior two form 4’s were in hand two weeks after approval date.

Call from the SOT yesterday, 4/13/2017 the stamps arrived.

2 Form 4s (Trust in VA) Approved 3/29/2017. Picked up 4/13/2017.
294 days from check cashed to stamps received by sot/transferred to me.

Good deal, I had 2 of 3 Form 4s approved on 3/29. 3rd is still pending as of this morning, and I’m in VA. Hoping to hear from the dealer in the next 5-12 days (not holding my breath, though).

NICE!!! What state are you in out of curiosity?

Damn I hope I’m getting a call for 2 of my 3 that are confirmed approved on 3-29…I’m in VA, so hoping I got a fast stamp sticker and envelop stuffer!

Anyone else got dates from approval to SOT receiving stamps recently?

@Marty,

I’m not sure how long the kid(s) will be back from College, but hold out hope that you should be getting into the “unofficial” to be approved stacks in the next few weeks…again just my 2 cents.

So check cashed date tends to coincide with what the “pending” date, but isn’t always going to be that way(all 3 of my checks were cashed 7 days after sending them, but my first two went pending/input into the “wait list” for a lack of better words, the 3rd one went pending a day before my check was cashed)…

That’s my 2 cents…nothing first…[Read more]

@jkacg1,

The checks for the two approved was the same day they “went” pending, so my checks (according to bank) were cashed on 6/24/2016.

The third separate form 4 check was cashed 7/1, but went pending according to ATF on 6/30/2016.

Hope that helps…now I’m counting down both the turnaround/mailing so I can pick up my 22 and 30 caliber…[Read more]

Well at least you’ve already dealt with the hard part, i.e. affording, finding and buying the MG…now you might just have to wait an extra 6+/- months to take possession of it…

BEST OF LUCK and hopefully you can go to your SOT and “play” with it while you wait.

FYI I’ve passed 9 months on 2 of 3 (6/24/16), the 3rd being just days shy of 9 months since they were in processed. Hopefully once they get through the half million or so form 4 and 1’s pre-41F, perhaps they’ll be able to get back down closer to 4-6 months.
