Huh. So I guess they didn't send out any emails to account holders? I used to get regular emails from them when it was up before.

Other than an approved form's time in transit from BATFE back to the applicant, i wonder if this will actually save any time since one still needs to mail in finger print cards which will need to be processed and matched to the rest of the application.

Allegedly these are coming back in <2 weeks approved. I just submitted mine on Friday (10/26), and mailed the fingerprints flat rate priority envelope today. I'll update you all when I hear back.

I'm going to fill out a Form 1 for a LMT MARS lower this weekend to see how long it takes.
Like I said, I've got a few Form 1/4's that are over 200 days now, so if this takes 2 weeks, that would be amazing.

eforms are down right now. Have been since yesterday. The help line responded to me and said they're aware of the issue and trying to get it back up. Anyway, it's down Wednesdays for maintenance so maybe it'll be working again tomorrow evening.

I can confirm approved FORM 1 in <2 weeks. Was shocked!!! I still have a couple from pre 41F that I am waiting on that I filed close to the cut-off point.
Looks like the site is back up, but down for WED maint.

I presume I need to print / sign and scan the RPQ and upload the scanned copy with my signature? Kind of defeats the purpose of e-Forms, but it seems the RPQ is treated as simply an attachment to the Form 1 eForm. Am I grocking this correctly?
Edit: never mind, I figured out how to add the signature to the RPQ electronically via Adobe before uploading. Note that to upload your trust the file size has to be less that 3MB. I had to break my file up into a few pieces which was a bit of a pain.
Edit 2: holy cow that was a painful user experience. I don't remember the last time I used a website or piece of software that was that poorly designed and built.Last edited by BoilerUp; 3 November 2018 at 11:10.

Submitted e-File Form 1 on 11/3, Approved 11/15
Concurrently, I used the Silencer Shop Form 1 service and submitted on 9/30 and it's still sitting with them. It looks like they held it while they got things setup to use the ATF's eFile service and they state they'll be submitted via eFile soon. I was happy to hear that since I was afraid I was going to have to wait 6-12 months otherwise. That takes some of the value out of their service since you can do it directly via the ATF website now, but then again that website is so horribly designed and the SS process is much better so it may be worth it for those who get easily frustrated by technology.

Factoring the cost of each set of finger prints (which is minimal at $10 for the first card, $3 each additional) and, more importantly, the value of my time needed to actually go in and get my prints taken, i personally see not needing to get new prints each time i want to submit a Form 1 as a huge advantage.
I read in the last newsletter i received from Silencer Shop that forms filed using their Form 1 service are now being eFiled. So i guess i'll be finding out soon whether or not it'll be as fast as filing directly with BATFE."It's time to start slapping people." - George Carlin
