Suppressors Form 4 wait time

[Cgonz1982]

LOL. They do not have a range.

The reason I asked if you were in Texas is that on March 4th Capitol Armory is putting on "Quiet in the Capitol" outside of Kyle Texas (between New Braunfels and Austin. They put on a come-and-try-them-out with like 10-15 different suppressor makers. Its all free to shoot what you want. Rifle (hunting and AR), pistols (handgun and AR), shotguns, and last year year I think they ended with a machine gun shoot. I went last year and it can be alot of fun. Know its a ways but bring a couple of friends and make a day of it. Its only about 7-8 miles off of I-35.

You can purchase (order) them on site and get a 10-15% discount for the day. Its best to get an account set up on the CA site first though otherwise you are standing at a monitor trying to fill out screens. Me? I'd rather go shoot!

I purchased my first can from them in Oct, so I'm just waiting, if they did have a range, I would make the 2.5hr drive every weekend! I'm debating going to that event, but will have to see how that week looks. thanks for the info!

PM sent

If you choose you could have had the can sent to a local FFL that has a range. I just always had other things to shoot and my rule was always to forget about the can for 6+ months and then start to look for it to arrive. Kinda like a Christmas in July present for yourself! Got enough anxiety, don't need to add 10 months more.

So much for the "Under 90 days" approval BS.

I certified 2 cans very beginning of August, I guess I'm expecting to pick them up sometime in April?

 

[Bluedog82]

Possible at this rate. Mine from the end of August I’m not expecting until May.

 

[Charger442]

270ish days. So end of April, beginning of May

 

[Bluedog82]

270ish days. So end of April, beginning of May

That doesn’t take into account that the average wait time increases weekly as well. My can from March took 252, which was about average in late November. Now, it’s ~270 3 months later. So, if current trends continue by May the average wait could be 300 or so days.

 

[Lazyfaire]

I always hope on the long side. That way when it arrives ‘early’ I’m happily surprised. To hope on the short side just increases the anxiety (“where is it?!!).
Once it arrives I count the days for my NFA chart but only then. There is no rhyme or reason to the ATF time lines. I’ve had 2 at 5 months and one at almost a year. Go figure!

possibly. in december, mine came back at 257. over the holidays, they let it slip by about 20+ days. to where early january approvals were at about 280. Now, in the last month, its been very steady at 270 days. id like to see it go down, but just looking at recent trends, we arent getting into the 300 day territory yet. also, the number of eforms should have decreased after the initial high volume that happened from January-April 2022.

atleast that decrease is my speculation. The control numbers are averaging about 2500 per day, and thats not just Form 4, thats Form 3 and Form 1 also.

anyway, its all speculation, but i am at 245 for my closest one. thats June 2022

Ahh my 6/2 is jealous. Let me guess, Jessica?

 

[Arc Light]

Question for you guys: last week I put in an eform 4 individual application at my local dealer. They don't use Silencer Shop, if it matters. I certified on the spot using my ATF username and PIN. I was looking over the pdf copy that the ATF emailed me and I noticed that where I am supposed to sign it says "Digitally Signed" and next to it in parenthesis is my name in all upper case letters. Is this correct? I read where some peoples applications were rejected because they didn't actually sign, instead it was a computer generated signature.

Patiently waiting.

7/17/2022 here. Sometime in April maybe. Integrated barrel for my 10-22 takedown….
When the taxes (overpaid! ) I’ll do the same for my MPX Gen 1 pistol. Then I’m done!

Curious what your number is?

 

[Lazyfaire]

Honestly I have no idea. I usually pay zero attention to the application until 6-7 months has gone by. (BTW - I purchase mine from Capitol Arms in Austin TX). I do the ATF confirmation thru CA so don't pay much attention to it. They've already got my $$ after all.
When I get close timewise I just call the ATF in WVa, give them my can serial #, to find out where it is. And I do that just to make them look it up and hopefully it triggers it to get completed early. Probably has the same odds of crossing my fingers and turning around 3 times!

That one I mentioned from 6/6 isn't approved yet. I figure its got another few weeks to go. I think they're at about may 25th right now.

Jessica and another examiner are into the first week of June for the past week, according the NFA sub on Reddit.. but yes, most are May 25-30 the past week.

My Nomad Ti was certified April 27 2022.
Subsequently I received the SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS email.
I called ATF this morning to find out the status, as I see later approval dates being posted here.
Was told it was approved Jan-17 2023.....but they had trouble w/ their email system,
so I never received the approval.
Glad I called!
Heading to the FFL this morning, to see if they can pull up the approval.

Your dealer should have also received the same email. I’d find out why the hell he didn’t call you for the last month+…

Yeah, that is fucked up, unless they also weren't notified.

My dealer actually called me on the day it was approved before I even got a chance to call them.

Could have been, but at the same time, the email should have gone to SOMEBODY. And if they did get the email, and never called, or “just forgot”, I’d be finding me a new dealer.

Had one back in the days of paper stamps. They told me the form/stamp was signed and mailed out to the FFL 3 months before! The FFL never received it. Became a huge mess took over a year to fix, but that is truly the only problem I have ever had over the past 10 years. Glad you got it straightened out

Just returned from the FFL, they had access to the approved form.
Transfered the Nomad-Ti w/o issue, and I am ready to go to the range and (not) make noise!

Spoke with the gaytf about my can today. Asked about the wait time and the gal said 270 days. Triple the original 90 day time

If that's true, and they are really at 270 days, they need to cover 52,600 numbers in the next 20 days. Just as a WAG let's guess that 3/8s of those numbers are Form 4s. That means they need to get through almost 1,000 form 4s a day.

I had 2223051xxx approved about 10 days ago (275 days or so in total) and am waiting on 2212051xxx which was purchased exactly 10 days after the first.

roughly 4,000 control numbers that day.

can you check those control numbers? they seem to be messed up for some reason.
