There is no waiting period. The ATF can cash your check, run a fingerprints/NICS and approve the form in a week if they want to. But there is a several month backlog of forms for each examiner to go through; that is why it takes so long.

The ATF form 4 is for purchase, the ATF form 1 is for making one.
