Longer wait times at the NFA Branch?

[ddnc]

IIRC, there is no more second pending. I really didn't know when they started that crap anyway to be honest. I received 4 stamps in Jan 2013 that were submitted in Aug 2012. There was never any mention of second pending on any previous stamps including these 4. I then sent 2 more in Jan. 2013 (submitted) that initially went pending March 17, 2013 then "second, July 16, 2013. There were by NFA phone confirmation to be approved 1-2 weeks ago. Their SOP is currently to say " approval is 15 months from check cashed" and do not address the "pending" status. I just think they are preparing to make this an extremely long, tedious, convoluted, very drawn out process with the ultimate goal of discouraging civi ownership of NFA weps.

I received a phone call this past weekend from a fellow NFA receipient stating he received his stamp for an item he sent in, in Jan. 2013. He was also kind enough to inform me that ATF had also sent him MY STAMP, one of 2 submitted in Jan. 2013. I ask if my other stamp was in there also, "no" he replied. I called NFA and both were approved Nov. 12. Both were mailed Jan 22, 2013, according to NFA received Feb. 6, 2013 and approved Nov. 12, 2013.
So 9 months, 6 days or 278 days. I have yet to receive these in hand to date. I also informed NFA they sent my stamp to the wrong address.
I understand ATF has now gone back to the "pending to approval" thing again and the 3 month e-form receipts that some were lucky enough to receive was only a system test and is not a timeline for e-forms. I wonder now or if ever, the 4 eforms I subbed in Sept. will come to fruitition.
