Eforms?

Triple 8 and Jb Tactical that I know of.

Could you guys list a few class 3 FFLs that are doing eforms in the Denver metro area? I want another suppressor and this seems to be the way to go.

Not Denver area, but Chris at Silent Precision is efiling. I know what I wanted, so I did it all via email/snail mail with him and I'll make the hour and a half drive once they're approved.

I'm a little disturbed that the stamp is emailed and not physical, as I thought that was the whole point. Here is your physical item in exchange for your $200 tax.

Keep in mind that the trust forms must be under 3MB when you submit them. I believe you can submit multiple forms though if you can't get it under 3MB. I have no idea how to resize them.

I have a class 3 FFL and just had a couple of customers ask me about getting the form 4's done via E-file. I am waiting for the ATF to approve us to do them electronically. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I should be set up this week. Just waiting for the second email from the ATF (second stage of approval).

Which sucks... To work it down that far. I think it took like 8 times to shrink mine to below 3mb

If you can't fix the size while scanning, you can "shrink" a pdf file size by removing older version compatibility using Adobe Acrobat (full). There may be freeware utilities that can do this as well.

Best to submit everything as pdf.

I just submitted a Form1 a few minutes ago, we'll see how long it takes...

Even though it sucks to have to pay for the right, it is awesome to be able to get rewards points on my Amex.

There's a discussion over on arfcom with links to NFA(something) web site. Seems the ATF is in violation of their own laws, by not issuing a hard copy of your tax Stamp / Form. Either way the who approval wait time could be streamlined to a 30 day turn around, if not instant if the .gov pulled their head out of their ass.

Never mind!

I submitted two form 4's for customers this morning. The website seems to be pretty glitchy, but when it works, it was quite fast to submit. I'll definitely use it again for any customer who would like to try it.

I got an e-mail from them yesterday that the site was going down mid-day for maintenance due to problems. They said "rebuild" so who knows WTF they're up to.

The day before it went down for "weekly maintenance" while I was in the middle of the process and hadn't yet saved the form.

The first time you hit submit and it sits and spins for what seems like minutes, one wonders if it's going to blow up, but it went through fine.

I am an FFL SOT doing eforms, but when I went to sign up, the first screen gives you a warning that the systems is "unreliable" with Internet Explorer 9 and later. It recommends using IE 8, which was released in 2009. Luckily, I had an old laptop that still had IE 8 on it. Other PC's, you merely uninstall the later Internet Explorer versions and if you are lucky, you peel back to IE 8........... You cant even download IE 8 from Microsoft.

I think he guys that did the ATF eforms web site are the same ones that did www.healthcare.gov!!! FWIW
