I am doing a form one to SBR an AK pistol.
I just noticed under caliber I simply put "7.62"
Is that gonna get kicked back? Its been a month and I have seen no movement. It hasn't gone pending or anything. Do the Eforms not go pending?

Should I expect it to go pending like paper forms? I would think it would be by now if the whole process is only 90-120 days.

There is no "pending" status on eForms--SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS appears to be the equivalent, and it happens immediately (or within a day or two if your form needs research).
Re: Eform 1 - just noticed a potential mistake
I actually had a form returned to me (6 mos ago) for me to remove the specific identifier... All they wanted on there was the caliber. I had to cross it out and send it back. Seemed way over the top to me, but then again they may kick yours back wanting the full info. You can't second guess them.

If anyone cares. I only put 7.62 on the caliber not 7.62X39 and it was still approved 28 Feb.

Yup, because 7.62 is a caliber in the ATF eyes.Dennisrl wrote:If anyone cares. I only put 7.62 on the caliber not 7.62X39 and it was still approved 28 Feb.

Below is copied/pasted from the eForms bulletin, Sept 2013:
Calibers in NFA
NFA uses only the ‘base’ caliber for describing an NFA firearm and no ‘.’ to start. For example, we use ‘22’ rather than ‘.22,’ ’22LR,’ .22 WIN,’ etc. Similarly, we use ‘300’ rather than ‘300,’ ‘300 Blackout,’ ‘300 AAC Blackout,’ etc.
For metric descriptions, we do include the ‘.’ when it is internal to the ‘base’ caliber, such as ‘5.56’ or ‘7.62,’ but we do not use the further description to the caliber such as ‘5.56x45’ or ‘7.62x39’ for example.
We appreciate your coopera-tion.
