Suppressors Form 4 wait time

Is returned without action applicable to paper forms as well? I htought it was just e form.

Edit: The atf finally picked up the phone and says it was received Dec 6th, still pending. I know I was that cap armory had the status of mailed very shortly after I bought it. What the heck.

It was intended more to be an off-hand comment made out of frustration.

I just called for an update on my last two applications prior to receiving my license, and was on hold for less than a minute (that's about 10:55EST for those keeping track of such things). My paper F4 (trust, 1RP) submitted in Aug. '21 was approved on 9/6; that's roughly 395 calendar days. I'll call my dealer in a couple of weeks if they don't call me first. My F4 submission from Oct. '21 is still pending, so I didn't receive the privilege of batch approval :( I guess I'll call back on that one around Thanksgiving.
 
You get the "Ready to Certify" email once all of the steps to submit your application are complete, you will just follow the link in the email and enter your username and pin connecting to your ATF eForms account. Once you and your dealer certify your application, the tax stamp payment is processed and your application is sent to the ATF. You can certify remotely actually, no need to use the dealer's kiosk for this step. - Chase

I have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about. There's no link in the email to anything other than Silencer Shop. I created an account with ATF and when I log in there I see nothing other than the ability to submit new eforms.

Your email states something about a session or logging onto a session that the dealer has to create?

That is correct, Mike. You will log into your Silencer Shop account. You can contact your dealer, they will set up the certification session, and there you should use your ATF eForms account information. If you or the dealer have questions and would like to connect over a phone call, we're available to help you out: 512-931-4556

Ok, I follow you now. Got ahold of the dealer and we tried it, what an abortion. The system crashed.
 
I have 2 e-files with silencer central from March that I'm waiting on. I was out of signal for about 5 hours yesterday and when I could check my email, I had 2 back to back from silencer central. I was so excited, then I opened them up and they basically said that nothing has happened and that we are still waiting. Talk about an emotional roller-coaster. Ugh

have you gotten the emails from the efile system that alert you to system maintenance? Those are real emotional roller coasters, given that your approved application and stamp are sent from the efile system email address.

Hey, didn't know. That other dude got his approved in 2 months. LOL
I don't ever have that kind of luck.... my dealer said they are seeing eforms 4-6 months so, maybe I will be getting my R6 and Nomad L sometime in the next month or 2. I've got one other 22 can in the hopper from my buddies place that was some kind of "eform" but i never did the certify thing with them and I really don't understand what they did so who knows when that will arrive. I'd be super happy if I can just get the other Nomad and the R6 but I'm still on the high from getting that call out of the blue today and picking up 2 cans so it's all good. That Nomad Ti is so slick and light. I have a form 1 Ti can but the Nomad Ti is so much lighter.

Have to get some Dot5 brake fluid tomorrow to coat it on the inside before I start shooting it, and do the Oculus as well

I ordered a TBAC Dominus 10/21, check cashed about a month later. Emailed my representatives, the only one that got back to me was the Democrat. He’s about as far left as they come. Received a letter yesterday saying my background check proceeded 8/24/22. Hopefully I’m getting close.
 
Seeing more days added to efile form 4. Last week it was reports of 190 to 198 days. Now I'm seeing new approvals at 204 days. It's like loan shark compounding interest.
Yup. Pretty annoying. Today is day 201 seems like I’m always like 2-3 days behind the approvals that keep pushing out. Wonder if late February, early March was a huge rush or something.

The shitty part is I purchased the Nomad the same day as my SF-SB2 but the surefire was ready to certify early feb and the system kept crashing every time I went in to certify my nomad so it took another 28 days or so to get it certified…I got my SB2 in 152 days that 28 day difference has turned into like 50 on the back end.

I seem to remember that a lot of guys had issues with the initial SilencerShop submission process in January. Wonder if they’ve got any data behind how many finally shoved through and got cashed in late February / early March? I bet there is at least correlation between an increase of cashed stamps and delay now.

basically they have put most, if not all, eforms on hold to go through the paper forms. so they are just on September '21 paper forms.

i bet they dont get back on approving eforms until around Turkey day this year.

Man I hope your correct! If so I’m close to a week past due. Really hoping for that phone call fairly soon.
