what are the current form 3 timelines? I purchased a can throuh a dealer who said it was in stock [at either a distributor or the manufacturer]. They thought it would be 2-3 weeks for the can to get to the dealer so I could start my paperwork, but it has been 8 weeks and still not there. Is that typical? Has NFA also been hit that hard by all the recent "panic," causing backlogs at the NFA branch?

I don't think the NFA branch has been overly affected by the current situation.

<douche mode>Most of the panic buying is by idiots who only decided to pay attention in the 11th hour. I doubt many of them could figure out how to fill out a Form 4.</douche mode>

My form 4 transfer to a dealer only took 45 days or so back in July so it should be here soon. Have you called in about it?

My form 4 transfer to a dealer only took 45 days or so back in July so it should be here soon. Have you called in about it?

I called the dealer (I don't have a SN or anything to call the NFA office). It sounded like a younger guy I talked to who wasn't totally plugged into the process. They didn't offer to check with the NFA office.

I thought transfers from manufacturer/distributor to dealers went a lot quicker (like 10-15 days) but wasn't sure... If 45-ish days is right, then my current 60 may mean it'll show up soon so I can start my paperwork.

I've not had to order an item before. Only bought in-stock merchandise or form 1s.

Thx

So if I have a transfer going through BGF, should I expect it to be with the same examiner?

 

[ISHOOTHST'S]

Possibly, She is the one assigned to the area I think. She did my last one back in 2011 as well.

I can feel it getting close. According to NFA tracker, some stamps that were approved yesterday went pending October 16. Mine went October 23.

Well, my stamps finally came in today! The time flew by so fast I almost forgot I had them out.

Both stamps were sent out at the same time; From mailbox-back to my mailbox was exactly 178 days.
