Suppressors Form 4 wait time

#12,051
Buddy: Submitted Form 4, Individual 06.10.2024. STILL waiting

Buddy's Bro-Inlaw: Submitted Form 4, Individual 06.10.2024. Approved 06.24.2024.

Buddy's Father-Inlaw: Submitted Form 4, Individual 07.05.2024. Approved 07.26.2024.

Coworker: Submitted Form 4, Individual 06.11.2024. Approved 06.17.2024.

All 4 mentioned above Submitted their Form 4's at the same place. The buddy that is still waiting calls the ATF twice a week now and same default message from the ATF Agent, "pending background check". He's NOT happy at all.

Yeah, mines out of date for last several years. They show items pending that I've had approved back in 2020.

I really appreciate what they've done for the form for process and suppresses in general and their internal processes have made it super easy to transfer, but their customer facing interface is absolute dog shit.

Asked my Congressman to check for me just because. Interesting response and date me thinks...
"The NICS Section reviewed Mr. Xxxxxx’s request. Based on name and descriptive data, a background check regarding a National Firearms Act (NFA) was finalized by the NICS Section on November 19, 2024." Odd. :LOL:

Are tax stamp refunds a thing when you no longer own a taxed item because you sold it? I was told it was possible but the form ATF says to use when googling is for businesses and more geared towards liquor. Anyone have experience at all?

A pending Form 4 you request to cancel will be refunded. A denied Form 4 will be refunded. An approved Form 4 can be cancelled and refunded up until you do the 4473 and take possession of the item - there’s no getting your money back after.

How many of you are still waiting on approval from a single person trust, from a submission of say June/2024 or earlier?

Who’s waiting the longest on a single person trust?

Happy for you guys with quick turn around, but dang sure tired of seeing the inconsistency on times.

For those of you not exactly enjoying the super fast turn around times on individual e-form 4s, can you see your submitted application/documents on the ATF's eforms website? I've looked under all those little links on the left side (under My Forms) and can't find my Form-4s anywhere. I had two of them that were SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS on 10/22/24. I'm guessing there was a huge surge of folks like me getting their applications in before the election in case of a Harris win and now the ATF is bogged down.

You won’t see any in progress eForm 4 in your dashboard because you aren’t the submitter for the eForm 4, the FFL performing the transfer is.

Eh, I submitted mine 9/9, well before the election and still waiting, and plenty of others have submitted them since and now have their NFA items as recorded here on previous pages. I am not so sure the election had anything to do with it.

Agree. I submitted 2 on 9/6, got approved 11 weeks later. I asked Capitol Armory what the average is, and they said it's around 3 months. The ones who get the lucky tickets are still in the minority. Since we already had a very anti-2A administration in place, I'm not convinced that the fear of electing what would essentially be a carbon copy of the current administration would make much difference.

Thanks @TheOE800! The knowledge to be found here on the Hide is awesome. In my case, Capital Armory would be the FFL for some Griffin Armament Paladin 300 HDs. Those are great cans and this is the second batch of them I’ve ordered.

Well, then, here is hoping I am around the average, as that would mean next week.

The approvals all depends on the gun shop you are using. The one I’m using I get mine back in two days. You might want to call around to see what their times are like. The one I use also doesn’t use Silencer shop.

Can you explain this? How does using silencer shop affect anything? How does what gun shop you use matter?
