Turn around for 03 FFL paperwork is usually 3-4 weeks but the flood of 0$ form 4's currently hitting the BATFE could effect that timeframe

Yep.. mailed into the licensing branch in Portland... Kinda wish you could do it via Eforms same as the NFA stuff though... absolutely no reason you cant scan/upload the FFL form along with the pic and EFT (if not 03FFL) the exact same way.... would save a shitload of paperwork and time....

I filed before Christmas and received it last week.

3 weeks.

Made first purchase last night.  This is one of those "i really should have done this earlier things" for me.

coming up on 2 weeks for mine. Credit card has been charged, so we will see how much longer it takes. I have several things inbound and a C&R would make transfer easier.....

License came late last week. Not in time to prevent the latest pickup from having to be shipped to the local Tame FFL, but it sure made pickup a lot faster..... I shoulda gotten this YEARS ago... about 3.5 weeks start to finish....
