Form 3 shutdown?

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

Form 3 shutdown?

Post by wacki »

Silencershop has stopped making predictions. :-(

I've seen others complain about 3 months.

When I called up Silencershop a few weeks ago, they said they're submitting all F3's via the eForms system now. Has something changed again recently?

Silencershop filed an eForm 3 9/19, and they quoted me 2 to 3 weeks in a follow up email 9/22.

Can you elaborate on the eForm shutdown?

I talked to them yesterday. Sparrows are out of stock and no idea when it will get through the ATF.

Just had an inbound eForm 3 approved - 28 days. Some of the first eForm 3s were coming back in a week or two. As the half-functioning eForm system loads up, the wait will likely increase.

Previously, my last paper Form 2 took EIGHT WEEKS. Almost like there was a problem, but none were mentioned. The next form 2 was an eForm 2, and it took 48hrs.

FWIW.

Are you saying all their eFoms are shut down, or transfers from the manufacturers?

Just manufacturer to SOT. No clue about SOT to individual/trust.

I just bought a Specwar from silencershop and they submitted the eForm3 today. Email states it should be approved in 3-6 weeks. We shall see...

Has anyone picked up a piece of the sky yet?

I'm curious about what color it is after it falls.

It depends on where you pick the piece up from :lol:
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Is one of those the 338 can you were telling me about? We need to go give it a work out. I think we might need thicker steel.
