My SS Trust was the silencer shop way using e-forms. It took one week, not bad. My 3 prior to that one were individual e-forms through my local SOT gunsmith and took 1 to 3 days. I just finished setting up through Capitol Armory today with a multi trust, should form 4 it in the next few days, however long it takes them to get to me on that so I'll see how long that takes... A week or less would be great. RTR
The only thing I didn’t like about Capitol Armory was that they have to hold it for 10 days. I’ve only done one through them. Had I just used a dealer I would’ve had it in a week vs about a month all said and done.
I think Sheels is all paper still somehow.

Dealer can definitely matter in my opinion. My dealer I’ve bought 4 from, 3 in the last 10 days, gets the job done very quickly as far is their part in the process. They contact me as soon as it’s approved and have everything ready when I arrive. One was approved kinda late Tuesday night. Wednesday morning the gun shop contacted me about an hour before they opened saying it was approved and they’d have it ready as soon as I could get it.
I bought one suppressor from another local gun shop and they took forever, told me I had to come in person to certify, then gave me some BS story about them having to do all of this paperwork before I could pick it up after it was approved.
The last three I just bought were in stock so that definitely shortens the time. But the dealer definitely can make a difference in wait times also if they dint do their part in a timely manner. All three were bought and submitted without me ever going in to the store.

Form 4, Trust, submitted last Wednesday, March 5th. Approved this morning, March 10th, 5 days. I’ve submitted 3 in the last couple of weeks and times were 3 days, 4 days, and 5 days.
I use the electronic fingerprint files which is nice because Silencershop keeps a copy and submits them along with the paperwork. One less thing I have to do.
I did the same thing with silencer shop. I also used Print Scan service at my local UPS store and now have my own electronic fingerprint .eft file. I had it done for Trust through Capitol Armory, was $50 but the quickest way to get the prints to them and now have it to use for any SOT Vendor.
They are addictive for sure. Picked up my third one in the last week and a half yesterday and bought another one while I was there. They had a FDE Abel Biscuit-S in stock that I wanted for my FDE Knights Armament SR-15 so decided to get it. I think this one will be my last one for a while.
Filing a Form 4 individual and using Silencer Shop was approved in 36hrs! Sent the form around 6:30 PM on a Thursday night and saw the approval email early Saturday morning.
Do it, im at 2 weeks on a form 4 single shot trustIs it bad that I want to get another one just to see if I can beat 12 days?

Ha! I bought my first can Dec 6 24, so 3 months ago. After running 60, or so rounds suppressed then shooting my unsuppressed deer rifle, I decided I don't wanna shoot unsuppressed again. I now have 4 in hand and filed a form 4 trust for the 5th last Friday. First 3 were individual, took 36 to 72 hours for approval. 4th SS Trust, took right under a week. We'll see on the 5th. I may have a problemIs it bad that I want to get another one just to see if I can beat 12 days?

I went on a spree after Thanksgiving myself. Ended up getting like 12 cans and 6 SBRs since then. Every time I open the safe and see something with a threaded barrel I just HAVE to order another one. Haha!! It's getting to the point if I can't suppress it, I don't shoot it.Ha! I bought my first can Dec 6 24, so 3 months ago.

Yes, me and my son. I went to pick up the one up yesterday morning and bought another one. Hoping it’s submitted in the morning so we’ll see how long it takes.
Form 4 single shot trust
Certified 2/25
Approved 3/13
Longest one yet on the new system. Far, far faster than my first one many years ago.

Well congrats to all your fast times.
I'm still waiting for my SOT to get mine in so I can start the wait for my stamp.
Been 30 days now maybe for his form 3 transfer and still nothing
If this was my first can, I'd be real pissed off. As such I'm just real annoyed.
Guess I should have just bought something he had in stock but wanted to try the Huxwrx Ventum to see if the flow through really made much difference. The wait has already taken some of the shine off it
Nobody will be posting a hot chick by my name but maybe old fat bald bastard

You should have went through Silencer Shop. They have Ventums in stock. If you could cancel you might try that.
Yup
Just trying to support the new owner of my local gun shop.
But it is getting to the point of doing something different.
Have thought about going the Silencer Shop, Capital Arms route and this might be what pushes me over to them.
Going to give him a bit more time, but that time is getting short.
This isn't 2020
Look through this thread for some ideas on how to get through to the right people to resolve this for you.
Good luck!!!
