Suppressors Form 4 wait time

#5,253
It looks like there is a pile of form 4s from August 11-20 of 2018 that have been lost. Looking at this tracker

Transfer Tracking - NFA Tracker

As we are migrating all our tracking data into the NEW NFA tracker site, we will quickly be adding additional charts and graphs to track transfer times, wait times, submissions per category, etc. Thank you for providing your NFA Form 1 and Form 4 transfer times to share with the community.

It is the largest gap of form approvals on the chart. With people getting approval with less than 90 days, something seems awry.

I will be calling on Monday again to check the status on this one. But beyond that, I have actually put off buying anymore cans. I have my FFL paperwork in and am just going to apply for the SOT when it comes back. No one within 100 miles of our island community is a SOT., and with us being a subsistence hunting and fishing type community that loves its guns I figured what the hell, why not.

Wondering what going on with mine as well. Submitted 3 form 4s on a trust the same day. Mailed Sept 7 2018, checks cashed sept 20 2018, not a peep from the atf or my dealer. Called to check them and all they tell me is pending. Called again yesterday and the person who answered the phone told me they were not appointed to an examiner because none was listed. How do you not get appointed an examiner in a years time? I've got 4 stamps already and this is by far the longest wait I've ever had. Hoping theyre back for hunting season Oct 26... but really starting to doubt it.

Check cashed 9/22/18
Form 4 trust
Still pending not assigned to an examiner.
At what point do I contact my congressman?

Got my first can today, there is definitely something weird going on...
300 OMEGA bought on 26Jun19, picked up from dealer today 23SEP19.....only 3 months.

Bought a Switchback .22 in Feb 19, still no word.......but only been about 7 months so I haven't questioned it.

Was the Omega 300 bought through Silencer Shop? There have been a bunch of reports of late June, early July '19 idividual F4s that were recently approved, being filed through SS seems to be a common thread.

Just called them, same thing... it is pending, noting more nothing less. I almost bought another one this morning to test the theory that they are moving super fast on current purchases, but didn't see any that I was dying to own at SShop.

I just called to check the status of my other two form 4's, received Mar 1 st and Apr 15th as some here have done also, got the same thing, both are pending.....that's all they could say, but when asked why I got one back in under 90 days recently, she said that the difference in approval times may have something to do with the dealers, but I don't see how that is possible, but you never know. Just more mixed information to throw in there.

Some weird stuff going on with regards to Form 4 Trusts cashed in the middle of August 2018. Although NFA Tracker is reports from individuals not a single Form 4 Trust has been reported to have come back from 8/10 to 8/21. On average times are falling and Trusts are coming in from middle of October 2018. Unfortunately my Form 4 is in that window. Sure hope they find that stack sooner than later. 13+ Months and counting.

Got my first can and from what I have read on wait times, I consider myself very very lucky. I have seen a few others with similar check cashed dates get their approvals around the same time.

Purchased: 6/12/19
Check Cashed: 7/7/19
Approved: 9/5/19

Just got off the phone with ATF. Two Form4s on trusts at 12 months today, both going to examiners now and they tell me 6-8 more weeks.

My first one a decade ago took 2.5 months. My longest one has taken 12 months. These two are sure to hold the record. And I have 3 more contestants in queue that might be the record holders yet. ?

I'm waiting on 9mm can that was cashed on 7-15-19 maybe I’ll get lucky and it will show up soon, but I also have 2 that we’re cashed back in March which is only 6 months out but who knows

I also spoke to an examiner last week and she told me the target TAT for requests is 90 days but didn’t indicate when that would be achieved. I’m just glad to see they are doing something about it, lol.

Sandman Ti, Individual Form 4 submitted/mailed 6/10/19 (yes, 6/10/19). Approved 9/20/19, just picked it up at my FFL. 100'ish days. There was another guy picking up his can right next to me with similar stats.

(Picked up a different can from the same FFL a week ago and it had been in jail for 9.5 months)

Hope the trend continues. (y) (y) (y)

I got 6 cans that I purchased over a period from the beginning of July to the beginning of this month; form-4 paper individual. It also looks like the wait times are dropping or am I imagining things?
