NTXshooter Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I filed the form on 8/1 and it was approved on 8/22. Let's see how long it takes to get the stamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I still can't believe that. But......who am I to argue? Make sure to let us know when the stamp comes through. Just outta sheer curiosity. I'm kinda befuddled (yeah.......like Elmer) at this state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure you're looking at the right thing? That's probably "check cashed" date there, not approval. It's kinda crazy that you got approved before most people get their check cashed...

It's kinda crazy that you got approved before most people get their check cashed... That's pretty much what the guys at 300blktalk.com are reporting. I am interested in seeing how long it takes to have that stamp in hand after being approved too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl21 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) What I am hearing is that electronic filing and electronic approval is all that you get. The PDF in the email is all you will ever receive, no physical stamp any more. E-file, E-approval, E-stamp. Done.

Owl21 Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I would not trust the good ol internet, but would call at least. That was from a Class III dealer, who was working to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 E-stamp doesn't sound right, I'd call the BATFE about that one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 That was from a Class III dealer, who was working to confirm. Did he confirm? Or is he still working to confirm? What says BATFE on that? These guys can't just re-write law from 26 June 1934. Congress has a part in that. BIG part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 These guys can't just re-write law from 26 June 1934. Certainly hasn't stopped them from trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magwa Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 This is getting wierd now no stamp? I am not the sharpest tool but I think I would have to call BS on that .. so if I get it right if you e file no stamp and it is quick and if you snail mail file you get a stamp but it take a long time... that system seems a bit skewed......

Owl21 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 So far, the dealer has not yet received a response back from BATFE. When I was there the other day, he showed me a printout of a PDF for one of their e-filed SBR's and it had the stamp on it (meaning the original document with the stamp on it was likely scanned by BATFE, and emailed as a PDF with the appoval.) He and several people in the shop were having the same debate about it as we are having here. Is this "copy" of the of the orignal document with stamp all that will ever be received, or will they eventually mail the original? At this point, I guess no one really knows.

Rsquared Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Dagger! I just got a letter from the ATF today. You know.....you see that DOJ letter in the mail and you get all giddy. FU@K! I forgot to put on my form 1 (right beside where you sign your name), you have to print your name and state that you're a trustee (since you're a trust......not an individual). FU@K! What a rookie mistake. Breathe...........breathe.........breathe........... It's ok. They just send a letter asking you (for the rest of you) to fill in the blank section (which they highlight on the form) and send it back in. Should only be a "short" amount of time. This is my fourth Form 1................................................................I shoulda known better (thus the rookie mistake). I hope that I didn't FU@K anybody that was asking for guidance at the time (I feel like an ass). MAGWA and EDGE. Double check you're paperwork that you sent in. Actually.......Edge........I think you filed as an individual....not a trust. SO..........you're on your own. (Ha!) Just kidding brothers. Just figured that I'd pass this along to you. AND..........................that I'm an A$$HOLE (AKA.......alotta help). Edited August 28, 2014 by Rsquared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to conduct my business over the internet, so went to the owner's home office to make the purchase and pick up the can once my form 4 came back. Back then he had a very large pile of suppressors stacked on the shelves waiting for form fours, and said half his garage was full. Now that he has a brick and mortar shop, I can only imagine how much product he must be pushing out the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I questioned the guys over at 300blktalk.com and they told me the same thing, the stamp comes with the approval email and you just have to print it out!

NTXshooter Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Haven't gotten the stamp yet, just that it is approved. Also, just took a big hit in the college tuition department. It's going to take a little time to put this one together. First step, get the lower engraved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTXshooter Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thought I would pass on this information. I had not received my tax stamp for the SBR that was approved. I emailed the ATF and the response I received was "No physical stamp is mailed. The electronic copy is your official registration form. Print the Form 1 and keep it with the weapon." Just thought everyone might like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
