Anyone get an approval for mid February and NOT receive their stamp yet?  My sbr was approved on 2-18-16 and my stamp hasn't arrived at the dealer yet.  Just wondering if my stamp got lost or I am just a victim of slow mailing at the ATF.

F4 SBR?

If so, there's a chance it went to the wrong place, assuming the dealer files multiple forms. I've the last month or so, there have been multiple occurrences of forms being folded incorrectly so that they're sent to the transferee instead of the transferor. On multiple occasions, this has been a small stack of forms that included more than one transferee.

Not say it happened to yours, but it could have. Other than that, the NFA Branch has definitely been slow mailing some out.

I'm trying to be patient.  I'd rather wait it out and get my Form 4 back than request a certified copy but the horror stories of mis-sent and lost forms is really making me nervous.

If it's been 30 days, send the request. Nothing wrong with having the original show up later and also having the certified copy.

I didn't know if the certified copy voided the original stamp.  If it doesn't I'll call and get the ball rolling on.

Nope...you'll still only have the one stamp. The certified copy doesn't have a stamp.

Sent in my request for a certified copy of my Form 4.  Still not sure if the original was lost in the mail, misplaced at the dealer or still waiting to be mailed.  Sucks to wait so long and then have to wait even longer due to a foul up somewhere along the line.

Yup. I have a Form 1 and 4 that are both over 6 month in pending time. They are back to being slower than shit again.

Today is the 2 months mark of my form 4 approval, 2 weeks since the certified copy request was faxed, still, no stamp.

Finally got the call today.  Stamp came in 37 days after approval.  Obligatory pic...



Factory 8.5" upper replaced with a custom built upper with Odin Works 5.5 handguard and Adco 6" barrel with TROS 3-lug adapter.  Adco was nice enough to custom thread the barrel for the extended threads of the TROS adapter.

By calling the ATF NFA branch at 304.616.4550. Make sure at least 5 months have passed since form 4 cheque was cashed. Have your serial number and trust name ready, if applicable.
