Grrrrr. "Error Letter" inbound

[Fentonite]

Just shy of 6 months since the ATF cashed my check, so I called today to check the status of my application. The guy was very friendly and professional, but told me that an "error letter" had been sent out to me this morning. I filled out the Form 4 provided to me by my FFL, which was on two pages, instead of the front and back of a single sheet. I learned today that they prefer a single sheet, front and back.

Mail them a staple, a single, unused staple.

Oh man that sucks so bad. Unbelievable that they are that picky when the paperwork is correct but 2 pages instead of front and back. I cant believe they actually kicked that back.

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.

Well, not "prefer" more like "require" for at least the past few years.

Carefully copy the front of the other sheet onto other side of the signed back sheet and send 'er back in.

This is what you're paying the FFL the transfer fee for -- to not screw up such basic things. Please post the name of the dealer so the rest of us know who to avoid.

That was my first thought, but I'll take it up with him first, and give him a chance to make it right. As pissed as I am, he's still a good guy, and I don't want to mess with a man's livelihood out of spite. I'm sure he won't make this mistake again. I know I won't!

This stuff happens. You learn and move on. The 'good news', if there is any, is that they will process your form right away after you correct the 'error'. Ms. Santamaria objected to my signature one time. I had to one-line and initial over the offending title and mail it back. Took 30 seconds to address, then back in the mail. It was approved and sent back in about two weeks.

Too basic an error to excuse by saying "stuff happens".

According to the various NFA boards this is no longer the case. You don't go back to ground zero, but it does add approximately 3-6 weeks to the approval.

On the flip side, approval times appear to be getting shorter.

I have noticed no shorter times at all!
