No more E forms for suppressor

[hesse]

The form 4s e form has been shutdown indefinitely due to budget cost

 

[Arcola]

What is the source of that info?

 

[quandary]

just looked at Silencercentral website they are unable to process E-Forms until further notice.

I googled it and the only thing I found was the eform site was down

NICS was down earlier today as well, but is back up.

Is this only applying to silencer central? I have not seen anything on it yet either.

That just means that we don't have to file form 4's anymore.

I'll be interested to see what comes of this, just purchased through capital armory and haven't been able to do my form 4 certification the last couple days because e forms is down.

ATF eForms System Shut Down Claims Budgeting Concerns

By shutting down the system, it appears that the ATF is ignoring the wishes of Congress and breaking the law.

I'd assume just a system crash if not stated as maintenance.

Kind of doubt it's related to the "possible impending shutdown". While this has happened for up to a few weeks in the last 5-10 years, let's not pretend the government isn't going to extend it's over spending, lol. It'll be back real soon, if it isn't already.

Like always, I will give it the 48 hour news cycle before I jump to conclusions.

According to the ATF it's unscheduled maintenance, not a budget problem. That's a rumour like the whole Lake City thing a few months back. They've had on and off problems for months. The whole system was made by the lowest bidder for a customer that's not known for attracting the best software engineers, so it's really no surprise it has issues. Send them email if you want an answer straight from the horse's mouth.
