I know it's a roll of the dice but which do you think will ultimately come in faster?
My last one (paper) took just about a YEAR. :-/

Suppressors File paperwork or wait for E-Forms to come back?

This is exactly what I've heard. Two things:1. Alabama ATF guy said he has heard talks that it isn't coming back on any time soon from what they have been told. 2. Two dealers have told me 8-12 weeks, and that was a week and ahalf ago. Just scuttle butt like the old timers say.
Paper file it. More inspectors getting spun up, overtime has been approved, and wait times are steadily dropping. I get the feeling it will be quite some time before we see eFile open up for Forms 3 and 4 again.
I just got a paper form 1 back that I filed in September of last year. Took almost the exact same time as the one I submitted about 24 months ago. The latest one had one of the new examiners on it so the new guys are getting up to speed.
I just submitted two (paper obviously) for a saker762 and a ss sparrow. I have 2 liberty cans on form 3's now (mystic and infinity) and I plan to do them on paper F4s too if the e-file system isn't back up in time (I don't expect that it will be). It seems that the extra inspectors and OT should help out quite a bit. I'm hoping that by next year this process (e-file or paper) may become a more reasonable as far as wait time is concerned (now if only they would drop the tax to $5 for suppressors lol).
My form 3 came back yesterday. I had Silencer Shop paper file my form 4. Hope I end up on the shorter end of 5-9 months. I have only ever fired a suppressed 9mm glock. Have never fired a suppressed rifle. I have a 300blk and 500 rounds of subs just waiting for my Specwar 762. My dealer is a great guy and says we can go to the range whenever it shows!
