The NFA branch was already suffering from overload, so I'm sure this isn't helping. As of ~month or two ago, they were down 3 examiners from their new allotment. 6 people apparently left but they hired 3 more. Like UWone, I submitted paperwork on Jan 2 and I'm still waiting.

I'm guessing they're having the same issues as everywhere else right now. Not gun-related, but on the .mil side, stuff is still getting processed (some stuff, but not everything), but now there's only 1 (or none) person doing the processing as opposed > 1 before. Everything is taking longer and therefore less efficiently. I have a couple of my guys stuck in limbo because they can't get paid until their paperwork is processed, but the processing is taking forever.

I'm getting the feeling this will last more than the few days I originally thought, unfortunately.
