The ATF told attendees at the NSSF Import/Export conference that they had hired 12 temporary research assistants and a supervisor to review Form 4 and Form 1 applications for mistakes before the examiner gets them.
I'm seeing other peoples items taking 5 months now instead of 6 months.
I read that they were adding some temps to help out a few months ago. Word was by the beginning of summer the wait times should be less. I have heard some people say its better. Others say its the same. I know form 3's are not any better. Like digging a hole in water I recon. Won't complain if it happens tho.
There's some improvement, though mostly they just stopped the endless climb (NFA tracker):

Most recent F4 I got back was mailed in 3/1, received by me 8/24, Sara Jones.
That is to within a week the total door-to-door time for my most recent transfer before that one, which was signed off on by Lamberger, and was mailed 7/5, received 1/4.
Short... I guess really short times for dealer to dealer transfer times

I hope the same goes for FORM 1's and FORM 4's [Pepsi]
I had a check cashed for two form 4s on April 1st - just got the call yesterday that they are ready to be picked up.
Very nice man [Beer]Quote:

Thanks! If I remember correctly, I sent the paperwork on 2/13, and received the Error Letter on 8/3. Re-submitted on 8/8, and stamp arrived yesterday. It woulda been under the six month mark, if not for my screw up. 7 months, including the error letter and resubmission. Can't really complain...Quote:

The ATF examiners DO in fact have help now, but we aren't seeing it in quicker turnarounds just yet.
