Confused about the wait time on stamps.

[Great-Kazoo]

Jim, I may be the only one... But I do enjoy hearing you talk.

Thx, i guess. Just trying to educate the OP, as he seems to be misunderstanding NFA lic and tax stamps altogether . Someone, somewhere, is blowing smoke up his posterior.
Even money, or lunch, say's the OP will be up in arms come month #6 when his approval's are still PENDING. Hopefully for us he'll have them.

Hey Jim, maybe we should start a thread called "Holy Fuck, read this before you try to buy a can or SBR your shit!"

Reminds me of the HTF on arfcom. Every 2-3rd thread is from someone outside of CO who ask, WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BRINGING MY RIFLE, PISTOL, MAGAZINES TO CO.

There's a whole web site from the NRA, among many that covers it. IMAGINE if folks today had to use an actual Phone Book

Talked with guy's from TBAC , Silencerco, and Surefire last week . The NFA branch lost all the temp hires after the sequester and one of the full time examiners got promoted . Because of the hiring freeze there are no plans to replace them . Dealer to dealer transfers are at 3 months and climbing and form 4's are 6-8 months and climbing . It's just gonna keep getting worse until the demand insanity goes down .

The thing to remember is the NFA is there to discourage ownership not streamline the process . Is what it is and bitchin about it onto the internet ain't gonna change a thing .

Wow you guys really blow things out of proportion. I have read all there is to know about NFA rules and regs and yes some of my statements above don't go into the full details of what you need to do to get this or that. I was just asking WTF has happened to the time frame. There are plenty of post in the NFA section about how long it takes which only a couple of months ago was 6 months. Now I see that all the temp hires are gone so those times are creeping up. I find it humorous that people will tell you go search so and so post and in that post it says around 6 months. If the above poster would of posted what he posted I would of been well that makes sense. But just like every other internet forum people think that they are all high and mighty even though most of the time they are the biggest bitchers.

So why doesn't everyone go back to bitching about people re-posting and how all the new laws are going to effect you. The next time I have a question I will go to another forum where they answer your question and move on.

You complained about the "Wait Time" High yes, mighty no.
Why any need for details? it's not a quick turn around time for any NFA approval. If you were unaware of it prior to getting in to the game you are now.

Lighten up Francis.

I was fully aware of the wait times. I was told by the ATF when I called to see if the SBR went pending it would be August for approval. Then when I called for the suppressor to see if it went pending I'm told February for it. So I ask about the SBR and it's now November. If you reread my original post nowhere do I bitch about the wait times I bitch about the sudden increase in time. If you are so up on NFA items you could of just answered my question and moved on, but you decided to give me the big fu check this post and that post. Oh and while I'm at it I should use the search function also.

I now have my answer thanks to a poster that just answered my question and moved on. So you can go back to telling people they need to use the search function and heaven forbid they make a repost. Also if you admit you are high maybe you should put that down on the next form 4473 you fill out and see how that works out and if you feel you need to get the last word in go ahead and post because I'm done here.

End to end time (mailing 'till stamp received) is now about 9 months, maybe more. This despite the ATF adding people a year ago and promises of shorter times, it's gone up by 2-3 months. If anyone thinks this isn't a manufactured delay, I have a bridge for sale.
