ATF e5320.20 Requires Approved NFA Firearm

The newly released ATF e5320.20 has been significantly helping speed up approvals and it brought back the option for coordinates.  However, the ATF e5320.20 can't be used for all NFA Firearms.  It can be used with firearms, that were approved through the eForm's website.  NFA firearms that were approved using paper ATF applications, are not available to be used with the ATF e5320.20.  We have seen and heard from the NFA community that some paper applications are showing up to be used with the ATF e5320.20, the common thread is that the paper tax stamp applications were approved in the recent years.  You can use the firearm search by SSN to find the NFA firearms that you are able to use with the ATF e5320.20.  If you receive the error below, then you have no available NFA firearms that can be used with the ATF e5320.20.
