Form 1 approved july 31. Spent 1 hr today milling and laser engraving. Suppressor complete.
Still waiting form 4
<chuckle> A secret clearance is a joke (hell, a Bn C.O. can grant one on a verbal). It's nothing more than a quick background scan...but I get what you're saying.
For those of you looking for Form 1 efile suppressor kits
See my review I just posted up

Just an fyi, they are a bit backlogged on the drill fixtures but are working to catch up on them.

Ummmm.....I think you mean 2019 don't you Steve? It's hard to get one approved a month before it's pending.

You guys getting approvals from October submissions are giving me hope I might see my 12/5/19 can in September...lolol
The next one I'm waiting on had the check cashed 01/04/19, and if it comes through before I'm ass deep in snow I'll be thrilled.
That’s what the lady said. I called her yesterday and she said, “well I’ve got some good news. Your form 4 was approved yesterday 8/4/19.”
Then proceeded to tell me the form should arrive in about 10 days but could take up to 30.

I have 2 can stamps coming.
Trust
Ordered on 9/4/18
Cashed 9/22/18 according to my bank (9/24/18)
As of 7/23/19 - “still processing” and the lady said about 1 year from check cashing to receiving a stamp is typical right now.
Hopefully any day now.

I called today and learned that 2 of my cans (Dead Air Mask and Ghost) were just approved 11Aug, these were purchased at my dealer last year 6Sept.
So now to wait for the stamps to arrive.
My Sandman from October 2018 is still pending though.

Form 4, trust.
Filled out on Aug. 9 2019... STILL WAITING!!!
Seriously, they're saying 8 months in WA FWIW. About average I guess. I won't pester them unless it goes over ten months though.

TBAC 338 Ultra paid in full w/50% off cert on 7/22/19. It won't have a serial number until January 2020, I'll be stoked if I have it in my possession by the first quarter of 2021....
Was just scrolling through the threads and saw this. Cashed 9/18/18 and I got my phone call yesterday! It’s gotta be soon, man!
Mine was cashed the same day. Called Friday and was told still pending. I asked if it had been assigned to an examiner, they said no.
I have no idea. They even ventured to tell me “I should be close” to being assigned. I asked why some have received stamps who submitted form 4 trust after me. She said they go to different groups and some work faster than others. So basically it’s a total shit show and there is little organization going on. You just get lucky or you don’t. Seems legit for a 1+ year wait.
I spoke to a local suppressor shop owner, who is one of the largest suppressor dealers in the midwest, a couple of moths back and he told me the government shutdown screwed up the ATF review teams.
He said the teams were mainly comprised of non-government contract employees, and that they transferred to “essential departments”during the shutdown because the fed was going to have to pay their contracts whether they worked or not.
I guess most of these contract employees did not come back to the review teams, so they had to train in a bunch of new people.
That in addition to the additional forms submitted during the shutdown have created a significant backup.
