Join the contest SubscribeYes, sorry about that. Form4.There's plenty of 14-15 month horror stories on reddit about form 4s. Most form 1s are a bit over a month I think.
I assume you meant form 4?
I have 4 in jail right now. 1 from September on paper, 2 from April 2 on eforms and 1 from June 6 on eforms. That's 3 and a half months on the earliest eforms ones.
Hoping for a batch, but I doubt it.
Anybody do a legacy form4 and been past 14 months? I'm at 425 days today and getting irritated lol
I'd get ahold of your Congressman like what was mentioned earlier, I emailed mine, not sure it will make a difference but you have nothing to lose.Im at 458 days today. For me silencer shop form 4 trust 1 individual
seriously this. contact all your local reps and find one who will make an inquiry on your behalf. I talked to mine and he sent me some release forms to start the process, coincidentally my can came in the next day.I'd get ahold of your Congressman like what was mentioned earlier, I emailed mine, not sure it will make a difference but you have nothing to lose.
Thata very close to how mine lay out but I have a total of 5. Started with 2 on form 4's in July 2021, then another in August 2021 on a paper form 4, Then had eform in May maybe for another 2 but done separately. I'm also hoping to batch them but I'm the guy that had a form 1 take 10 months so.... not bloody likely.....There's plenty of 14-15 month horror stories on reddit about form 4s.

I'm going to do this, I'm going to call every day starting tomorrow lolCall the lady and just check on it. Be really nice and polite and don't ask any follow-up questions. Wish her a nice day. See what happens a week later
Must of meant 7/11/22?Today is 7/11/22…. ? Haha
4-5 months seems to be becoming the new averageAbout damned time.
I'm about a week behind you.
I'm really tempted to talk to my rep (Marjorie Taylor Greene) but I'm only at 8 months. In my mind that is definitely excessive but that's subjective. I am curious what the general consensus on is here for what constitutes "excessive"Just went to my Congressmans Rep office in town and she said she has had a lot of people contact her regarding the ATF/NFA dragging their feet. She said I did the right thing by bringing this issue up to her so like the previous poster said do this if your wait time is turning out to be excessive.
I hope everyone has their suppressors by now this thread started in 2009!How long is the wait time on a form 4 to date? Post how long you have been waiting or how long you recently waited before it was completed and sighned.

Anything more than a 15 minute background check is excessive! there shouldn’t be any check at all it’s only a muffler as we all know ,with that being said I am at 13 months and counting!I'm really tempted to talk to my rep (Marjorie Taylor Greene) but I'm only at 8 months.

Its more of a "living document" than a question and answer thread...I hope everyone has their suppressors by now this thread started in 2009!
8 months for efile form4 or paper form4?I'm really tempted to talk to my rep (Marjorie Taylor Greene) but I'm only at 8 months. In my mind that is definitely excessive but that's subjective. I am curious what the general consensus on is here for what constitutes "excessive"
Excessive is anything over an hour IMO. We can go in to a gun store and purchase a firearm, a mechanical piece and walk out in under an hour. Yet a piece of metal with zero moving parts takes up to and over a year? GTFO here with that BS ATF.I'm really tempted to talk to my rep (Marjorie Taylor Greene) but I'm only at 8 months.

I called today and mine haven't been assigned to an examiner yet... submitted form 4 in August of 2021. I have a total of 5 in jail, with 2 of em being eforms in the last 3 ish months and the other 3 all being at 11 months now. She said times for paper form 4s , average time is right at one year and eforms are about 120 days on average...
I tried to speak to an examiner but she said she couldn't since it hadn't been sent to one yet???
How long will it be "assigned to an examiner " before its approved? Seems as though it would be approved very soon after being assigned?Doesn't matter, since all the examiners are working "remotely". They won't give you their number, but they may give you an email to contact them that way

I called several months ago all they would tell me was it was in the system! My check was cashed at least nine months ago!I called today and mine haven't been assigned to an examiner yet... submitted form 4 in August of 2021.

Well that’s the reality of people voting for regulation: it’s only going to get worseThis![]()
15 month wait is fvcking bullshit!!!!After 15 mos finally notified today mine is approved
I just started another one using e form so let's see how long for the new process15 month wait is fvcking bullshit!!!!
The guy at Silencer Central to whom I was talking said the eform is 5-7 months.4.5 months in since I submitted and certified. Eform 4 trust. Deadair Nomad L
Same time as me and same situation too. That suxWell my memory is not as good as I thought but I just got off the phone with the Atf they have had my paperwork since 8/26/21 it was sent a week or two before that it is still pending which means there’s no examiner working on it yet. crap !
My last paper form spent 12.5 months NOT being assigned to an examiner (the last time I called). I was polite, but she could tell I was a bit frustrated with it taking so long, since I've had so many others approved prior to, and they kept spewing the official narrative of "currently 8 months average" and I was at 12.5. The lady was very polite, and told me to call back in 2 weeks, and that it should be approved by then. So, I called back 2 weeks later (13 months on the dot) and she said, "Oh wow, it was just approved this morning..."How long will it be "assigned to an examiner " before its approved? Seems as though it would be approved very soon after being assigned?
Bro, hate to be the bearer or bad news, but you still got a couple months... I just got my last paper Form 4 approved on 6/17/22... And it was cashed on 5/21/21... You still got some time.Well my memory is not as good as I thought but I just got off the phone with the Atf they have had my paperwork since 8/26/21 it was sent a week or two before that it is still pending which means there’s no examiner working on it yet. crap !
Yeah, I think mine and his will be more like 13 months ish in reality. I have some clients who work for the federal government and I see exactly why it takes so long. THEY HARDLY EVER WORK!Bro, hate to be the bearer or bad news, but you still got a couple months... I just got my last paper Form 4 approved on 6/17/22... And it was cashed on 5/21/21...

Sad reality is, that is correct. And because they're Federal Bureaucrats, they can't be fired, unless they do something really bad. Just not doing their job isn't a good enough excuse to terminate.Yeah, I think mine and his will be more like 13 months ish in reality.

The ones doing this "remote working" is a freaking joke. They do almost nothing, and then the other half of the time they are supposed to be working they do a little lessSad reality is, that is correct.

My company did that shit during 2020/2021, and the office people got to "work" from home for about 8-9 months. But we in the field were "essential" and had to still go in everyday to the job site and put in actual work and hours, without any hazard pay or anything, while interacting with contractors, truckers, etc... Not even a "thank you" for keeping the business making money and projects going.The ones doing this "remote working" is a freaking joke.

Not too badE file. Certified Feb 12, approved July 15
Six months when the ATF (assholes that they are) touted 90 days. Just watch...as everybody moves to efile from paper, the wait will go up...as it has been since they released the efile for use.Not too bad
