What types of checks are the ATF running that takes almost a year to process? Is there a place the explains the process they follow?
I love bureaucrats.Correct. Just an FBI NICS background check. Interestingly enough I had a can in the queue and I contacted the office of one of our illustrious Senators to investigate why it was taking so damn long at the 10 month mark. Long story short & the point is, my "FBI NICS" check was completed on 5/27 which was 11 months after my check was cashed by the ATF but I did not get the call for pickup from the FFL until August 11, a full 13 month wait.
So even after successful approval it still sat on a desk at the ATF for 3 months doing nothing. Just sharing.
Oh yeah, I just went to onslow beach (camp lejeune NC) and my dad sponsored me for a pass so I could drive in and out of the gate on my own. Pass was free, including the background check and only took 10 minutes.The delay is intentional.
I feel you on this 100%, Ive done work on every mil base in SC, have done design for 3 letter organizations in the state of SC, and do work on nuclear sites in SC/GA.Oh yeah, I just went to onslow beach (camp lejeune NC) and my dad sponsored me for a pass so I could drive in and out of the gate on my own.

I think that's more dangerous than a hushing device... But what do I know.
And the $200 just goes to the TreasuryBut there is no such incentive.
Nor is there a disincentive.The actual processing time is about 14 minutes. The rest of the time is spent with the forms sitting in boxes in the hallway, down aisles, or in a E-Processing queue. I remember reading an article from the American Silencer Association (now "suppressor" ) which posted an article about a tour the ASA leadership got . This was about 12 yrs or so ago. There was a great shot of all the cardboard boxes piled everywhere.
There's no actual incentive to excel . Imagine if say, the boss said "I'll pay $150 extra per month if you meet this productivity goal without increasing the error rate". You might get some takers.
But there is no such incentive.
I'm about 70 days past the 90 day mark. 😭This thread is making me not feel optimistic about my e-form turn around time. Not that I was optimistic, just less so now. Dang it.
What year? 🤣I'm still waiting on 2, 1 from the end of March and the 1 from the end of April.
Eform4, so this year 2022.What year? 🤣
No seriously, what year?
I had two paper from last year that ended up being 13 and 14 months 😥 (just picked up both in last couple weeks) 😁Eform4, so this year 2022.
I waited 13 months as well for my can. Unacceptable IMHOCorrect. Just an FBI NICS background check.

This was the norm in 16/17.A buddy of mine filed paper and he waited 14 months. That's just wrong.
