It Seems the ATF has Shut Down the Eform Site

[Otto_Mation]

I tried to go to the website and sure enough it is down. John Crump has a live youtube session going on right now about it. More shenanigans?

ETA: Remove video and direct to Ammoland article. See post #6 here for the link to the article.

This jackwad talked for five minutes but said nothing beyond the title of the video.

That's all he ever does look at the title it tells you everything if you see that name or face on a video.

They're always shutting it down for "maintenance"

Must be another huge rush on form 4 apps.

Thanks that wasn't up when I posted this. I will edit the first post directing to your link and removing the video.

Probably because someone on another website posted a thread stating that right NOW is the time to efile because of short wait times

So it finally works the way it should and they shut it down. Sounds about right.

I think we just said the same thing.

Perhaps due to possible government shutdown?

And just like that, it’s back up again. I got an email from them.

I received the email too. When it popped up in my inbox, I thought it may be my approval for my suppressor. Oh well, this will probably slow things down even more.

Approvals on e-files have been coming back in record time. About 2 weeks.
My first stamp was almost 15 months, 2012.

Wow! I submitted mine in October and have not heard anything. Is there a way to find the status?

Yeah, call the atf and have your serial number or permit control number ready.

If you call, it will likely be in a pending status, meaning unassigned to an examiner yet and they won't have a time frame for you. It basically lives in this state for 95% of the time.

If you filed a form 1, check the eforms website. If a dealer filed a form 4 it won't show up on your eforms log in.
