When will ATF cash check on a Form 4

Post by BlogSarge »

Will ATF immediately cash my check when they get the Form 4 from my dealer, or do they wait until they are actually working on the Form?

They cash it as soon as possible. And before they work on it - although they may convert your paper form into an electronic one at the same time.

A recent poster might be able to comment if they cashed the check even when there is an obvious issue from the start - such as the item is not listed in the inventory of the FFL.

The minions are the ones that cash the check. It is done before the paperwork is seen by anyone that could say if the form would be approved or not.

Thanks all. I just wrote the check and did my portion of the Form 4 at a dealer in whom I am losing confidence. I figured if ATF cashes checks immediately, I can watch for this to happen and tell if the dealer actually sent in the Form 4 like they said.

My dealer does his part then gives me the form 4 and I file out my part. Then I mail it off. I know when when its sent in.

Which is what I should have done! I might wait a week or three and if the check isn't cashed I'll check with ATF and seeif they'll tell me if they have it yet.

Yes, the waiting stinks. Fortunately, I seldom shoot much in the winter so that makes it easier on me this time. Come spring, though, I'll be chomping at the bit!
