I filed my 5320.20 late and don't think I'll get it in time for New Mexico next week… called the NFA hotline and asked them what to do if I don't get it, and HOLY **** THEY ACTUALLY TRANSFERRED ME TO AN EXAMINER.

I told her what was going on, that it was 100% my fault, and asked what could be done. She told me she couldn't email me the form until it had been imaged and recommended to send her the form I emailed to the ATF originally and she'd sign it and email it back tomorrow when she gets back to the office.

Are you taking a SBR to NM? It was my understanding that a 5320.20 is not needed to take a suppressor across state lines.

Yes I'm taking my 10.5" 556 and 10" 22.

That's my understanding as well re: suppressors

Ahh 10-4, you about had me digging to see if some rules had changed, wouldn't put it past the ATF to do that!

So obviously you sold your soul to the devil (or the ATF) either way...

I guess we all need to assume that Tandy agreed to be a paid informant for the ATF in return for their generosity. We should all give him bad advice going forward just to F with him.

So when does the Tandy LLC BATFE Consultantcy open up for business? You seem to have the process down well. The rest of us poor slobs could use your services.
Edit to add my clock started 8/19/2023 on my first can (.22). Form 4 through a single shot trust. Now to wait.

The ATF has received an unprecedented number of E-Forms as a result of ATF final rule 2021R-08F. Forms are processed in the order in which they are received.

Current wait times for E-Form 1's are 60 days.

In all seriousness I've had much better luck getting form 4's pushed through than form 1's.

Especially the brace rule F1, because the atf won't give an avg processing time. So you can never tell your rep "I'm x days past what the atf states is the average"

I think it's by design

You responded way too quickly to be a government employee. Clearly still have that contractor mentality.

All of mine took right around four months. That's stretched out over the past eight or so years. Everyone has their different averages, too, and they're probably all different from mine. They're never going to be on time or sooner, as advertised.

I just don't get my hopes up.

I purchased 3 cans January 13th, 2023. Trust.

Hoping they allow me to have them before it gets too cold this year.

January 13th….still waiting. I honestly can't even remember what I bought at this point other than it was a rim fire, 30 cal and 46 cal.

I think I am going to be adding in two more stamps this weekend adding a Honey Badger SD to the collection.


Why the HD and not just a honey badger and quieter silencer? I heard the rail gets really hot on those.

If you say, because it ****ing looks cool, then I totally get it.

I don't get it either… it's not integrally suppressed, it's just a proprietary can mounted on a 7" barrel.

All mine are approved now, just waiting on delivery of the last one. My grievances with your coworkers however remain alive and well.

1) Because it looks cool
2) Because my local shop that I love has it hanging on the wall right now

Well I just got some wonderful news. I'm at 260 days and I reached out to my congressman to see if I could get some help. This was last week. I finally got a response this morning and I am delayed due to FBI NICS check. That's firearms background check. I have a damn conceal carry license. What a damn joke. I'm so pissed. I don't even know where to go from here. Can they just keep me delayed indefinitely?

I feel your pain, but if it is for a Form 4, you're probably looking at around a year (maybe more). NICS check is standard, but a concealed carry permit is granted by the State. It typically has little bearing on ATF and its procedures for NFA items.

Sorry for the bad news.

I know the CCL is state, but I had to go through an FBI background check to get it. This is just stupid.
