I’m no legal expert, but it sounds like he went the long route. If he’s an FFL and it was a consignment, I’d think he should’ve been able to do a form 3 from him to your FFL/SOT, which would be a shorter wait. THEN you do the form 4. May be someone else who has experience in that situation can chime in. But that sounds like an extra form 4 to me.

I’m not seeing the post you’re referring to about check being cashed April 11 and 320 day approval, but no one running the site is responsible for the numbers given on posts. Those numbers are submitted by members and whoever submitted it must not know that standardized wait goes from when check cashed until approved. They probably went based off…[Read more]

No, silencer shop doesn’t update the status after your check is cashed. You find out either by calling the atf and asking its status, or the ffl that you went through calls you to say it arrived.

You called the atf last week ya say?

That’s what I meant. If people aren’t saying when they’ve been approved, the site has no data to add. Everyone gets their cans and goes out and plays, and leaves the rest of us hanging. Haha

I don’t know how their tracking works, but my guess is they can only track the approval dates that are submitted by members. If no members are submitting approval dates, they have no data to punch in. But that’s just my assumption.

Ouch. That sucks. The wait is long enough, let alone that mess. Hopefully it gets resolved asap!

Wow! That’s harsh. They saying they don’t have it? Was approved and lost? Or won’t even give you an answer?

Nice! I figured that’s what ya had to have done but thought may be you knew something I didn’t. Haha. Thanks!

How’d you find out you were approved without receiving your stamp yet? Did you just happen to call between approval and stamp being sent?
