Suppressors Form 4 wait time

I have potential good news for you....that was NOT the Silencer Shop dealer I was using!! However, you still may be screwed, because your stamp should be there by now.

If they are near enough to you it may just be worth showing up in person to inquire about the status of your NFA item.

I'll send you a PM later today to discuss potential future SOT's.
My future SOT is me.

I would totally show up but they decided to shut down. They claim to be calling and scheduling appointments to pick stuff up as they see fit.
I will never give them a dime again.
 
This sounds like my dealer. I need to pop in to visit them but they’re only seeing people by appointment. I was approved 3/24 though, so tomorrow marks 3 weeks. They treat me the same way on the phone, with the hard-o “if we haven’t called you it’s not here” type remarks.

Good on you for becoming your own future SOT. That will simplify things considerably!

That really sucks about TSA!! I was not aware that they had closed their doors. Most NC gun shops have remained open and are doing a VERY brisk business despite the Governor implementing stupid and arbitrary restrictions about the number of people per sq ft in retail spaces.

The only good news I can give you is that the Wake Co order ends April 16th and the statewide order is set to expire April 30th....if our "esteemed" Governor doesn't extend it. :rolleyes:

He will do whatever Cuomo says as he is the new golden boy of the left.
 
Yeah yes and no. He’s a narcissist to be sure.
I take that back, I agree with you there that its yes and no. He would have absolutely redeemed himself if he’d have thrown his hands up, admitted it was a world wide unforeseen consequence and lead the country like a man & leader. But we both know he’s literally never admitted being wrong once in his presidency. Not once.
 
I want to get a .338 cal can, but I think I might wait until there is a change in the laws. But that might never happen, so maybe I won’t wait. Haha.
 
Just hanging out waiting for the dealer to call me saying my stamps arrived..... that were approved on 3/24

I just realized the supressor I picked up the other day was the one that had been in the system only 4 months. The ones that have been in the system 8 months and 10 months have not come in.

I have a couple that have been in the system 4 months. One a pistol and the other a rifle suppressor. They are my first ever. It would be nice to get one or both soon

My first suppressor a couple years back took 9 months. Submitted for another back in January and again a couple weeks ago. Some of these expedited approvals have me cautiously optimistic for a 3-4 month wait. All that being said, the simplest law change that would give me some satisfaction would be if one is already approved and in the system a “fast track” approval process for any additional cans. Say can in hand in 30 days. That is simple and should be an easy fix.

FINALLY!

Dead Air Sandman S
Dead Air Ghost M

2 cans, 1RP Trust, 5/20/19 cash date.

Both approved yesterday 4/16/20. 332 soul destroying days. Compounded by the fact people getting stupid short approval dates. (Called yesterday = Pending). Called today = Approved. (WTF LOL)

So I purchased a SilencerCo Omega 300 from my dealer on 10/19/19, told them when I bought it that I was deploying and would NOT be able to get messages, please call my wife if there is an issue, she is on the trust with me. Gave them her number and said again, I will be out of touch, you have to call her. No problem! they said.

Called NFA today to see where it is in the process... they could not find ANY paperwork on it. Called dealer and they said "should be good, we show everything was sent off and nothing has come back". So I called NFA again and they said "we show that S/N and that gun store, but no paperwork at all." FML

Call store back again and tell them I have called twice, they show no paperwork at all. So the guy goes digging through his stack and says, "Oh, here it is. Yeah, there was one small mistake, I called and left a message on 11/28 and 12/02." So now I am 6 months behind, was hoping to have it out of jail when I get back, not now. Unless I get stupid lucky looking at another 300+ days like my first two. So pissed

You may want your suppressor but if it were me, I'd tell the dealer to shove it, cancel the application and demand a refund. Perhaps you can find another dealer and get the the same model suppressor from them.

I normally don't like to say to someone what I would do if it were me cause you know your situation better than anyone else. However, I get upset reading about this. They took your money and didn't give a rat's ass after that.

take your anger and turn it into a creative passion to make a form 1, by the time you forget about the form4 from your form1 it might be approved if this shit show of a covid 19 containment ever takes place
 
For those of you that have used a single shot trust in the last 30-60 days: how long did your check take to get cashed? I had one cashed in a week. The other is on week 3. Thanks
It’s just with whats going on with COVID. There’s no answer to when it will get done. Sooner rather than later (as it’s a check and the GOV want their money) would be my guess.
 
I’m on 20 days of “form 4 mailed” and my checks still haven’t been cashed. Also at 28 days today of 3 approved form 4’s and my dealer still hasn’t received them?


I'll be at 30 days on Thursday. Wasn't there some mention back in this thread somewhere about something we could do if it took longer than 30 days for the stamps to arrive?

Yessir. Lady at the ATF lady working said to call at 33-35 days and then they’ll work on other options and consider the stamp “lost” in the mail. I’ve never had to do but I think they get you a copy of the stamp either by mail or email and then you can go pick your cans up?? I don’t know to be honest.

Update: I called Silencershop yesterday and was told that the check had been cashed for my second can (15 days from mailed) but theit website hasn’t been updated. Separatel, my buddy just had his first ever form 4 come back in 6 months. Singleshot trust.

I shot my buddy’s Sandman S on my LMT 308 and it was glorious. I’ve not heard the tone of a modern can before such as Dead Air. It was super deep and honestly VERY pleasant for shooting. The boomier sound of the S vs that high pitched traditional sound (with the crack) make it amazing to my ears.
Definitely worth a purchase. My next can for sure will either be the Nomad L or the Wolfman. Big fan of both of those.

Start the timer! Nomad 30 ordered today. I missed the release of this thing. Direct thread and key mo capable. Heck yeah. I mainly shoot bolt action rifles but wanted a supressor I can swap around. Being able to convert back to direct thread for hunting sounds great.

After 30 days you can get a certified copy, but what is that? A email? ANOTHER posted letter? I’m approved 7 days ago, guaranteed I’m in for a 30 wait with this COVID shit. Wondering what the deal will be. Input appreciated.

Never actually had to do one, they’ve always come back in a timely matter. I opted to type a letter up, sign it, and email them it. The lady said I could mail it, fax it, email it, or have my FFL Transferor request the Certified Copy. I figured fastest way would be for me to do it via email since the FFL I chose unfortunately kind of has the “F Off we know more then you peasant” attitude lol. We’ll see what happens, I’ll keep ya’ll posted.
