My checked cashed on March 18 for my Resonator K. I’m hopeful that mine will follow suit, even though I called today and it was pending.

First time individual Form 4 for TBAC Ultra 7 with paperwork mailed on 1/17/2020 via Silencer Shop.

Based on the mixed bag of timeframes here, I am imagining the examiners just shuffling the forms and pulling the next lucky recipient off the top of the stack.

Was feeling good about this one and decided to call to check the status and it was approved. On top of that, approved on my B-day!! Now just have to wait for the stamp to arrive so I can pick it up.

Well crap , my wolfman from July got approved, my Aug and Oct cans were approved 2 months ago - my B&T MP5SD still not approved and was submitted before all of them.

man, that process is painful with all the delays at various steps, especially the 2 month wait after ATF approved my Stamp
 
I got 5 back by June 1st. We’re purchased. September-January. 4/5 came back together. All same examiner. The one from The middle was done first about March.

First suppressor, welcome me to the stamp club. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th too... approved as a batch! NFA branch is definitely processing Nov/Dec and later submissions much faster. Earliest was March 6, first 3 cans transferred thru one dealer and the last 2 thru a second dealer.

Here i am with my fingers crossed for a batch approval.....
That would be too efficient.
 
I haven’t been seeing a big difference in approval time between trust and individual. Especially if it’s a trust with one responsible person. Trusts with multiple people could take longer since they have to get multiple background checks from FBI, etc.
 
I’m a long time reader of this thread. I think I’ve read it from the start over the years... but I finally have something to contribute to this great body of knowledge:

Thunderbeast Ultra 9 AND TacSol Axiom 22
Both in a trust with 1 Responsible Party. (Silencershop is NOT involved in this trust.) Form 4 completed for both the same day at my FFL in early December.
Both Checks cashed 1/10/2020
Both had a correction letter issued 7/15/2020 - my attorney made a slight error on the trust. My FFL didn’t think they hardly read the trusts. Turns out they do.
For Both - Trust Amendment delivered back to ATF: 8/4/2020
Stamps at FFL: ???

So... for those of you wondering about “Batch processing” ... sure looks like both of mine were treated that way. I made it easy for ‘em - sent them in together. ATF Found the same dang mistake in my trust, and issued an identical correction letter for each. I called the week they issued the letter and was told it was “in process.”

Hope this is helpful to y’all.
 
Greetings! My first suppressor has made it's way home.

I purchased this can at a gun range that has a Silencer Shop Kiosk. Prior to this I purchased a Dead Air Mask directly from Silencer Shop on 12/20/19, for which the approval has not come through yet. Conjugal visits for Dead Air and 2 other suppressors purchased in April/May remain ongoing.

Received call to pickup my TBAC Ultra 7 on 8/1. Picked up today and it appears Silencer Shop dealt me a minor setback and never included the 30CB brake when they shipped the suppressor. Guess I will be waiting a bit longer, but at least it's home now.
