Someone somewhere lost my original filing from Jan 2017. Tracking shows it was delivered and signed for, but it gone. Had to start all over in Oct. Fingerprint, payment... IIRC my second check cleared early November. Current wait for a form 1 individual is down to 120, but with the recent shootings, I am sure they got another rush of filings.
It is by design a long and daunting task to purchase, file, pay, wait, wait, wait and wait some more. When the NFA list started $200 filing fee was enough to deterr. Now it is the wait. They will get legislation one day to increase the tax to comping ate for inflation. Should put it at somewhere around $2500 I'd bet.
