Somebody was going to take the data from all 50+ pages and compile them in some kind of database. I recall RyJones was involved with that.

I wonder if that ever worked out.

We just received several stamped Form 4's last week. They all took almost 2 months exactly. I just sent another one in for myself on Tuesday or Wednesday. Actually, a bunch of us recently did.

relative to the subject, does anyone know of any info regarding whether NFA will get their system online for public to check their status using the serial numbers? Just a thought or wishfull thinking, would be easier , vice phoncalls.

It will never happen.

The acting director of BATFE is Michael J. Sullivan, a former U.S. attorney who cut his teeth as an antigun crusader. It is no coincidence that his takeover as acting director (late 2006/early 2007) coincides with when NFA approval times started slowing down again.

He is doing everything in his power to make it more difficult for civilians to legally acquire NFA items, including allowing NFA Branch staffing levels to drop to all-time lows.

If he won't replace needed staff promptly, he is not going to spend the $$$ to create an online system that will be counter to his goals. His lifelong dream is to take away all civilian-owned guns, both Title 1 and Title 2.

FWIW, I mailed a Form 4 on June 20, check was cashed June 25, and it went pending July 31.

From talking with the crew in W.Va., I don't expect to see an approved Form 4 until September or October.

With the recent info on wait time increasing I haven't even called to check pending status.  I don't want to take up any more of thier time than I need to.  

On a side note, I should be getting my M96 in a few weeks if all goes according to plan.
