From the timeline thread above, it looks like standard time from F4 approval to receiving the form is about two weeks. My form was approved ~12/15 and the ffl still doesn't have the form. I talked to the ffl at 6 weeks out and he said the ATF was a couple weeks behind. Given that its now 8 weeks out, it sounds like the form got lost somewhere along the way. What are my options? Is there a lost form process?

You can request a copy from the NFA. Call them on Monday and ask what you need to do to get it.
Yeah. Mine got approved on December 9 and I had to keep calling and emailing to get them to actually check if my stamp was in. I didn't get it til like the 155th of January. It was super annoying considering my other stamp was approved 12-23-2013 and I had I in my hands by 1-7-2014.

I bet it felt like the 155th
Not sure if it's going to be a continuous deal or not but I called the NFA last Monday multiple times throughout the day and went straight to VM every time. I called Tue and was answered first time. Not sure if they're not answering on Mondays, if not answering LAST Monday, or Just Messin' with Sasquatch, if you get through Monday please let me/us know, because I'd like to know which of the three it was.
I talked to Ms. Dudash today. She informed me that a new system was put in place. Trusts are handled by one group of examiners and individuals are handles by another group. The individuals are talking longer, because they are now rechecking finger prints prior to final approval.
She told me that because of the lengthy wait, 9 months, that they are now required to run the prints one more time, to make sure the person submitting the form has not been arrested, during the wait time. So that is taking longer for individuals.
