BATFE eForms / eFile

EFORMS UPDATE

On 4/4/14, the ATF removed the ability for ALL dealers to file Form 3s and 4s electronically. Since then, the ATF announced several updates to the eForms system. The most notable of the updates is the return of ATF Form 1 to the eForms system. The ability for dealers to file Form 3s and 4s electronically will return with the release of eForms version 2.0. The ATF has stated version 2.0 will be released in early 2015. Until then, we are filling all Form 3s and 4s via paper. Current processing times are running 4-6 weeks and 4-6 months respectively.


No additional signatures or paperwork is necessary to file by paper. The process to our customers remains the same whether filing electronic (not a current option) or by paper.

 

 

ONLINE TRANSFER TOOLS

Capitol Armory has created a suite of online tools to ease the NFA transfer process; some of which are not available through other dealers. For example:

 

  • The BATFE transfer tax is automatically applied to your cart, per NFA item, when you are a Texas customer. We do not charge an extra fee for collecting your $200 tax online nor do we charge a Form 4 filing fee as seen with other dealers.
  • Texas customers can easily upload their trust documents through our secure server. We are notified when utilize our tools and we promptly file the following business day.
  • Non-Texas customers can select a transfer FFL/SOT from our list of dealers or elect to have Capitol Armory contact a local dealer on their behalf.
  • Customers are kept in the loop with status updates and detailed explanations covering the next steps of your transfer process.


Use of these tools, enable our customers to purchase a suppressor with ease and in almost the same time as a traditional e-commerce purchase.
