Colorado form 1 & 4 transfer data / wait times

[Dave_L]

OK, Question, I called the ATF this morning, my form 4 was approved on 8/5/2015, it's been 20 days since the approval and my dealer hasn't received the paper work back. How does a person wait? how do you go about getting replacement paper work? hmmm

That's about the day mine was approved and my FFL got my paperwork yesterday. Should be any day for you.

yeah it seems like they let these batch up. Mine was approved on 8/3 and came yesterday. Dealer said several showed up at once. Worst thing I did was call to see when it was approved. Need to just forget about the rest that are pending and wait for the magic call.

Usually by being patient, the NFA game isn't for those who need it yesterday. The average time according to ATF till your ffl receives paperwork is 30 days. At least that's the time frame they allow them self to get it in the mail. Since a form 4 is through the dealer i suggest you have them deal with it. You paid for a service from them, utilize it.

Yes, Thank you Great-Kazoo, I realize dealing with the ATF is a waiting game, and patients is a must. After 11 years in the Navy I have patients, my problem is that my mind thinks faster than my fingers typing ability (lol). The sentence was suppose to read, How long should one wait before attempting to get replacement paperwork. Also thank you for your input about the the dealer, my plan is to wait until mid Sept. before acting on it. I've waited this long what the heck. Thanks
