So, several years back, before all the craziness, I sent in an ATF Form 1 for a short barreled rifle build I wanted to do.

Filled out the form, wrote the $200.00 check and sent it all in after triple checking everything to be certain it was correct.

THEN, I waited... and waited... and waited

Six agonizing months later, I FINALLY got my approved form 1 back in the mail and was able to finish my SBR build.

One would think, that after such an experience, a person would not wish to expose one's self to such torture again.

One would think...

Well, on August 5th of this month, I filled out the Form 1 again, grabbed another $200.00 and sent it in, only this time, it was an electronic version of the ATF Form 1.

After another excruciating wait, (20 days!!!), I got the approved form 1 back electronically.

Any guesses what I'll be up to this week?

Sending in another form?

Tempted, however, I started an AR-10 build while 'waiting' on the tax stamp...

I'm tapped out right now.

I'd be tempted by an AR-10.

Wow, 20 days huh. That's not bad. Just might have to do some shopping.

Yeah really, 20 days is nothing. That is news to me.

It seems to really be hit and miss with the ATF. Would you expect anything other than inconsistency from the government? I just got my SOT, have had my FFL for some time, some are coming back really quick, others not so.
