What the hell is going on with Form 3's?

[David]

The ATF cut a lot of staff for the sequester. Could they have used it as an excuse to take the NFA branch down to a skeleton crew?

Last I heard they just hired 9 new examiners.

I had been told by many that those were just temps and they actually ended up with more people than they had before. Who knows, I don't know shit about what's going on at the NFA branch and neither does anyone else it seems. All gossip and rumor.

Sounds like the IRS. Hey, wait a minute!

I'm hearing it from across the board that it's taking forever all of a sudden.

Pretty much, I was hoping after the Sandy Hook / Gun Ban thing died down people would stop yelling the sky is falling.

I was told 2014 for my suppressor when it was submitted in March and went pending April.

I would love another SBR, but really no point in it to me, takes too long.

I have been waiting since the beginning of June for a form 4 correction. A fucking correction!

The guy handling my two Form 1s, is a sub contractor. I bet they cut direct hires and hired in the subs to cut the cost down. I have his email address from when he let me send him my paperwork via email two weeks ago. i can see who it is he actually works for. Iron Mountain (i know not it) or something like that.

I sold my mp5 because of an error letter regarding a sear. It took 2 months of arguing. Finally said fuck it and sold it to someone else to let them worry about it.

Nevermind, 86 what I just said. Just called the ATF and the form was approved two days ago.

I called a few hours ago to check on my two Form 1s. What was 2 weeks, 2 weeks ago, turned into "should be another 60-90 days" today. Meh, no skin off my ass. I won't be home till late October anyways.

Just called and my M16 went pending on 07/29/13. I can't wait for the paperwork involved in this one. A form 3 transfer machine gun from a deceased SOT being transferred by the settlor on his will. This should be interesting.

Just called on my form 1 as well. Check was cashed mid Jan, it went pending on Feb 25 and she said they are taking between 8-9 months once pending.

My most recent one took 2 months to go from check cashed to pending. This use to take a week or two.

This is getting ridiculous and there doesn't seem to be a solution in sight.

We need to write our senators. If I compose another letter and supply it to you guys, would you send it in? This is the only way to get shit done.
