ATF is currently swamped with applications of all kinds. The new administration has prompted thousands to obtain FFLs, C2s, C3s, C&Rs.
As an example, between October, 2006 and October, 2007, BATFE processed 556,495 NFA transfers. Between October, 2007 and October, 2008 this grew to a staggering 973,409.
BATFE data indicates this has continued to explode with the realization that a largely anti-gun administration was incoming.
There is currently little you can do to speed this process, except to insure your application is filled out completely and correctly, (this is one of the major delay issues).
Calls asking about delivery times on any applications will yield little results and only slow the process down further.
Patience is in order.
