Their average wait time is going to increase significantly once I get approved….435DYS & counting (no errors-paperwork correct)…4 cans all pending 7/2/2018

4-cans STILL “pending”…cashed my checks July 2, 2018…ATF still using the on screen bullet point excuse provided “Government Shutdown” LOL…2 yrs ago it was “PENDING FBI CHECK”….Government entities always passing the buck on something other than their own departments failures….total lack of proper protocol (except cashing them checks)…I…[Read more]

Good deal…congrats…you & I have the same check cashed date, so hopefully I am getting close…I know there is absolutely no logical explanation with the order in which they approve…July’s before June’s, June’s before May’s etc. etc….but seeing approvals in July gives me a little hope, that I am at most 1-2 months out LOL

Alright…about dam time…314 days…149 of those Days on the “Pending FBI Check”….this go around was absolute non-sense…no excuses.

All check cashed dates June 9th, 2017
All approved April 19, 2018
Stamps in hand???

5 approvals:
Gemtech One
Harvester .338
Saker 556K
Octane 45HD
Sparrow

Couldn’t agree more. Total BS…Government employees/tax payer employees have no sense urgency & in these cases there is absolutely no proper protocol…no reason Individual Form 4 submissions in July, August & September should be getting approved before our June submissions….& no reason our June submissions should be approved before previous…[Read more]

Both me & Tyler315 are in the same boat….All 5 of my submissions from 2017, all checks cashed June 9th…I called November 21st & that was the very first time I heard the “Pending FBI Background Check” run-around…anyway all are still on the pending FBI BGC…going on 5 months as-well…guys from the shop June-August already have stamps in…[Read more]

Before 2017 it was just “Pending” now its “pending FBI Background check”. We’ll never truly know what’s really going on…all I know is they are quick to pocket the 200.00 & after that there is no urgency or logical protocol or pattern of approvals on their end…approvals scattered all over the place…Junes before Januarys, Augusts before…[Read more]

Couldn’t agree more. That is the logical & most cost effective to us tax payers…..but like you said, that’s the government we’re talking about….they love wasting our time & money

Its a completely different & separate ATF “response” as of 2017. Why wasn’t that the response for the past 8 years. The ATF just started saying it as of last year to my knowledge. Has anyone ever been told “Pending FBI background check” prior to 2017?!?

No you’re not screwed. If you can own/purchase a firearm, you can own/purchase a suppressor. Just more hoops to hurdle.

Its just something to say to instead of “PENDING”. They’re behind, so they throw it on another agency. My girls aunt used to work for the FBI in Clarksburgh WV, she called for me Jan. 26th…nothing. She said it takes them like 24HRS at most to run ATF fingerprint cards…hit or no hit. Then another 3-5 days to mail back. I have 5 form 4’s that…[Read more]
