Current Wait Time on 5320.20

[ThunderSquirrel]

45 Days...

That is amazing, considering its just shuffling paperwork. In my case, its not even a permanent change of address.
I was going to take my SBR to Texas for a hog hunt. But a 45 day wait puts approval after the hunt.

About a year ago my last one took about two months.

How do I even go about starting the process? I'd like to take a can to WY from time to time...

Pretty sure you just order the form, fill it out, and submit it. http://www.atf.gov/forms/dcof/

It's not rocket science. And certainly easier than either a Form 1 or 4.

Aside from ordering the form you can also just fill it out online and mail two signed copies to the ATF:

I recommend doing the interstate transport forms for any type of NFA item but legally you are not required to do it for silencers and AOWs (read item 1 on page two of the form and note what's missing).

You don't need to do any forms for a can. It's the Firearms you need ATF approval. SBR, AOW, SBS items. However make sure you have a Copy of your NFA paperwork AND the state you are going to allows NFA items.
here's some info before they NO YOU CAN"T naysayers start.

from James Bardwell's FAQ:
FAQ On National Firearms Act Weapons
Quote:
To move weapons between states two rules apply. An individual must get permission from ATF to move machine guns, short rifles, short shotguns or destructive devices between states (or to temporarily export them) before doing so. This includes taking them somewhere to shoot them, or when permanently changing residences. There is a form called a 5320.20, and ATF will always approve them, and fairly quickly, assuming the purpose (generally stated) for the movement is legitimate, and the destination state allows the weapon in question. A licensed dealer can move weapons (except DD's) interstate at will, no permission is needed. But while most states that otherwise prohibit some or all NFA weapons have exceptions for SOT's, or FFL's, a few do not, and thus the dealer must make sure he will not be breaking any laws. An unlicensed individual need not ask permission to move AOW's or suppressor's interstate, again watch the laws at the target state. Having the approved 5320.20 form for a suppressor or AOW can avoid hassle while traveling. Lots of folks who think they know something about the NFA don't know you only need permission for interstate movement of some NFA weapons. ATF will approve a 5320.20 for suppressors and AOW's; they will approve a 5320.20 for an FFL also, even if he doesn't need it by law. A C&R FFL holder can move C&R NFA guns interstate without a 5320.20. See 18 U.S.C. sec. 922(a)(4) for the statute imposing the 5320.20 requirement.

Interesting info.

So is the form good for only one state or multiple states.?

Point A - Point B . You cannot submit the form for a trip to AZ. Then detour on the way back through Wyo, & SD just to say hi to old friends.

Necro thread.

Couple dumb questions on teh 5320.

Form boxes:

1. Name: Name and address of trust correct?
5. Reason: Can I just use personal self defense, or recreational use? What are you guys that are not hunting or competing do?
7. To address: I need a physical address? What if I'm just going to a campground in another state? Find some park address or something?
If I'm travelling to multiple locations within a single state, but at different times (not all the same trip), I need a 5320 for each? or am I always "on my way there."

Not sure it's worth the hassle, I usually just bring my 14.5 pinned Noveske, but the option to bring the 9" AAC 300BO with folding stock would be nice.
