Suppressors Form 4 wait time

[Radagast]

Eform 4
Single shot trust
Certified May 10 2022
Control no: 202248XXXX
Currently at day 182


This is my first NFA item, so I still feel pretty clueless.
Does the control number give an idea as to where you are "in line"?

Not from what I am seeing. The Avg right now is about 235 days from certification. You've got at least another Month, probably 2 or 3..

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Got the call today boys! My R6 has been approved....

I believe this is the last paper form 4 or the first efile, but if it was efile then I'd have gotten the stamp emailed to me right?

Submitted 9/21/2021- SS kiosk dealer

Stamp received 11-08-2022

How pathetic that it's nearly 14 months!

correct. efile approvals are emailed from atf directly to you, and your dealer.

Yeah I thought that was how they did it. Roger that.

You still have about 200 days at least.

 

[LSUbeatUby40]

Wait what? I thought it was 45 days from approval that the ATF had to mail the stamp out?

 

[Bluedog82]

Mine that I just got was like 14 months on a paper form 4

 

[DudeBro]

Paper form 4 for trust. Purchased 11/16/21. Approved 10/27/22. Received 11/8/22.

 

[wizardpc]

Got all excited about maybe getting mine this week, then realized that today is a federal holiday so it won't be until at least next week

 

[edlin_79]

Purchased Oct 17th 2021 under a trust and paper form 4. Check cashed 2 weeks later. Just got an email yesterday that the ATF approved it. Almost 13 months, but it's getting sent straight to the house after the Sheriff is notified. SilencerCentral and a .45 Banish. My last two took about 7 months, so this was significantly longer.

3/17/22 cert date
Approved today, 11/14/2022

 

[BiggBeans]

3/17/22 cert date
Approved today, 11/14/2022

do you get an email showing approval? or does your ffl call you and let you know youve been approved? mine was certified 3/18/22 and this is my first one. so im a little lost.

 

[Charger442]

3/17/22 cert date
Approved today, 11/14/2022

damn near 8 months on the dot.

someone said before add 2.5 days of wait to the current approval time it you are after that person. i'm two weeks after you, so i likely have another 49 days.

 

[Timo494]

Aft will send the approved forms to you and the dealer via email.

 

[wizardpc]

Yep, me and the dealer CC'd on the same email.

As we get to the holidays do you think federal workers will become less or more efficient?

We're barrelling towards 10 month wait times. Won't change for the better with Dems getting all 3 key portions of the legislative and executive branch

Just an FYI on that thread it seems that eFile Form 1 is only taking 75 to 85 days from what I gather..

it hard to imagine them getting less efficient than they always been. but it’s the federal government, anything and everything is possible. just when i think they’ve reached the height of incompetence, they go above and beyond their ability to fuck shit up.

eForm 1 might be getting better. I just got one approved Nov1 and it was only 28 days.

Thanks brother! It's a SilencerCo Omega 36M so excited to play with the different configurations on several of my rifles.

I've been reading similar all over the internets......I just completed my first F1 paperwork (SBR, filed as individual) last night and I'll be mailing my fingerprint cards today on my lunch break.

One thing I haven't been able to find--are F1 suppressors being treated the same way as SBRs or are those still taking as long as F4s?

 

[Redleg84]

What is the certified date I keep seeing mentioned?

 

[Bluedog82]

Specific to Silencer Shop, it’s the final step in their online process and the day your Form 4 is actually submitted.

Called the ATF this morning - "pending' for whatever that's worth. Was told national average is 180 days. Told the ATF rep that 180 days was a far cry from 60-90 days and 211 days was an even further cry. They could care less. Pretty sure I'm on their radar now, if I wasn't before . . . . .

They know very well the average right now is around 240 days. They just don’t care.
