Form 4 wait time = 2 days!

[LVLAaron]

Bought my first retail suppressor last week. Silencer Shop has a cool Kiosk system. Register on their website, then visit your store with a Kiosk and take fingerprints, photos, etc all right there. It took 10 minutes to get in and out of the store.

2 days later I have the stamp... So I bought another one, and you don't even need the kiosk, because everything is on file.


If you want a can, now is the time!

Yep, pretty quick and painless, got my form 4 certified and the stamps in about one working week.

That is for an individual, trust are still running in the months is my understanding.

If you can find the one you want in stock. I wonder how the one shot trusts Silencer Shop offers are going through?

 

[LVLAaron]

Yeah, online you can't find anything. Our local shop has a pretty good inventory.

Trusts take a little bit longer; 30 days maybe.

Started the work to get one 2-1/2 weeks ago. Never bought one before. I’m taking a bit longer road to get there because I don’t have a kiosk close. Submitted my form 4 on Sunday night and I got approved this morning. Probably gonna order another one.

I picked one up last week. Submitted it on Monday and got approval on Thursday. I'm likely going to get another too.

So, a question for anyone familiar with the process - what does it take to go from individual to a trust? I'm guessing a second stamp to transfer to the trust? Though it would cost more, seems like an approval in days that would ultimately end up in a trust, would be outstanding.

 

[LVLAaron]

You'd have to pay for another stamp to move it to the other entity (trust, etc) but it's not impossible.

Congrats. Glad someone is getting approved.

On 8+ months for my trust and 25 days for an individual.

Form 4 tax paid transfer, send a copy of your trust, photographs, fingerprint of the responsible person.

 

[Scalloper]

Are we any closer to not requiring a stamp for a can? Seems silly really.

 

[rijndael]

We're closer to you not needing a stamp because you have no ammo / reloading supplies to shoot through you gun, so a can is just a waste of money.

A friend has been waiting 18 months for one right now. I told him they lost his paperwork.

 

[LVLAaron]

Call them. They're more helpful than you'd assume

Call the NFA branch, 304-616-4500, give them the serial no. and they should give you a status, either pending or approved. If not approved, ask to speak to the examiner, 18 months is too long. Paperwork may have been lost in the mail, if so, NFA branch can send you a certified copy.

How do you do the fingerprints?

 

[rijndael]

Digital scanner.

My FFL uses something like this: https://www.aratek.co/product/fingerprint-scanner-fap60-a900
