6/26/23 - Form 1 e-filed Individual with fingerprint cards done myself and mailed to the ATF in West Virginia
1/27/24 - Form 1 approved
Seven months on something that should've taken no more than 2. Here's my story:
Called 3x in November and December to ask WTF since my others took only 3-4 months. Was told each time that there was a backlog due to all the "amnesty" Form 1's from the stupid pistol brace thing. (This was obviously a lie and "the company line" I could tell).
Two weeks ago, I reached out to my representative via their website and included all my case numbers, serial numbers, etc. Received a reply within a day from the intern, and had me sign privacy act waivers, permission forms, etc.
Within two days, I received a reply saying they'd contacted the ATF, and THEY referred them to the FBI due to a NICS check.
Received an email a day after that saying the FBI just "approved" the NICS and my Rep was now after the ATF's ass to chew once again.
Received an email at 0200 the other morning with my approved tax stamp - 7 months. They would've sat on it longer.
If your stuff was outrageous like mine based off of what's on their own website: https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/current-processing-times contact your Rep and let em go to work.
It's the same **** every time for every inquiry, they always blame the NCIS, and then when you call them out on their bull****, they get off their ass and do something
