Suppressors Form 4 wait time

Finally I get something to add to this thread,

Batch approved three Silencershop single shot trusts
Qty(2) Nomad-L and a Nomad 30

Check cashed 5/7/20
Stamp approved 10/8/20
Stamps at lgs 10/20/20

A day over 5 months for approval and day shy of 24 weeks for the total wait, way better than the 8 months I waited for the last ones back in 16’ since I actually got these before hunting season.

Now 2 months, and my check hasn’t cashed. My dealer sent my Form 4 individual out around August 7th and apparently the BATFE office changed locations from West Virginia to Oregon sometime near this timeframe..Anyone else experiencing a delay with their initial processing? I don’t care how long it takes to be approved, I just want to know it was received in a timely manner.

ETA: Checked with my dealer and they do not request tracking or delivery confirmation, lol!

That is a drag! I will say I am surprised your dealer wasn't aware of the change, it actually happened closer to the beginning of the year from what I understand, and that all initial documents go to Oregon first. Their address has been updated since April anyway, that is when I started paperwork for my form 4s. I will say that reading through this thread and from what I have heard elsewhere, the checks are getting cashed 2-8 weeks after form 4s are sent in. 2-3 weeks was average 6 months ago. On the backend, seems like cans are coming within 5-8 months. Makes you wonder what changes they are making.... Flip a coin

Ok I just called and spoke to them. I was told it just went to the examiner and should call back in a few weeks.?? it went pending 31 march where in the hell has it been if no one was looking into it WTF
 
Just got the call today that my TBAC TD22 is ready to be picked up. Check cashed 6/19/2020 and will need to see when it was approved, but that was only 131 days from check cashed to getting the call. I'll take that.

Edit: Picked it up today and the approval was 10/16/2020 for 120 days from check cashed to approval.

I’ve been very blessed this year with wait times. Both cans have been under the same trust, through silencershop:
Rugged micro-30:
-check cashed 1/6/2020
-received call from LGS on 6/10/2020
Thunderbeast 338 ultra:
-check cashed 6/4/2020
-received call from LGS on 10/24/2020

I have a SiCo sparrow in jail where the check cashed 6/22/2020. Fingers crossed I get a call soon!
 
Just called to check the status of two outstanding Form 4's. One is approved as of 11/1, the other is still pending.

Silencer: Sandman-K
Filing Type: Trust w/ 1 RP
Purchased: 5/25/20
Mailed: 6/8/20
Cashed: 6/17/20
Approved: 11/1/20
At Dealer: TBD

Number of days from the check being cashed: 138
 
Testing indicates the Ultra9 did not change zero the slightest on my rifle. :cool:
I did notice that the cover I got reflects a tan color into my scope when the sun is on it. Going to have to get a different color & make it more matt.

Decided to call the ATF yesterday to get an updated on my SiCo sparrow: It was approved by the ATF on 10/28/2020.
Now we will see how long it takes for the stamp to make it to my LGS.
