Grrrrr. "Error Letter" inbound

[RANGERRON72]

Have been an FFL SOT for 7 years. Never a kicked back Form 4 until 3 months ago. NFA branch is tightening terminology, even though I copy the info right off the Form 3 that they approved 30 days earlier. Talked to one of the examiners that is an addition to staff to help clear the backlog.

Now, with every Form 4, I call and confirm the key blocks, description and model, and then send it in.

Not the FFL SOT fault, its a regime change at NFA in Martinsburg, WV

Straight from the ATF Forms Download Page:

"After you download the application, please photocopy the front and back of the application to one sheet of paper. The National Firearms Act Branch will not accept the application if the front and back are submitted on separate pages."

Now I'm trying to remember if my Form 4 was front and back or on two pages. I guess I'll find out if/when I get the error letter.

Sure, rub it in! I shoulda checked the website. Instead, I followed the instructions from my FFL. Ultimately though, it's on me, and I learned from it (so did my FFL). It's never fun drawing attention to my own mistakes, but I figured it might help out someone here. My corrected app was delivered on 8/9. Now, the wait begins, again...

I hope yours was on one page

If you did not post this "minor delay" issue someone might post asking if they need to send it in as 1 or 2 pages. Every bit of NFA info (facts) we know ahead of time saves us all in the long run.

I did forget to fill, in one part on the fingerprint card. They called about it, i asked if they could fax it back so it will be back on their desk the same day. Agent paused then said, well seeing how your other FP card is done correctly, i'll let it go, This time.

Larimer County Sheriff was kind enough to correct me prior to mailing the forms in. Mailed forms out April 11th of this year, so I am guessing... next month or month after.

call 304-616-4500. You'll need your name, your FFL's business name, and the serial number of your item. Every time I've called, I've spoke with a guy named Damon. Always professional and helpful.

My second form they kicked back because I didn't include my Articles of organization. They didn't ask for them for my 1st or 3rd-5th. Not very consistent. But it only takes another week or so after you send it in. You'll have it in no time.

This was my expierance as well. I didn't send in a piece of the trust that the examiner wanted as well. Once they received it, it was less than a week.


You'll have your approval soon.
