Suppressors Form 4 wait time

I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience. Last week I injured an index finger. It required stitches and the pad of the finger will have scar tissue.

That will, obviously, make the fingerprint different compared to previous prints submitted.

If anyone here has had a similar experience, did that create any problems for you?

The next time that I submit a Form 1 or 4, I'll probably attach a letter explaining the difference. Any thoughts on that?
 
Get the letter on the doctor's letterhead. Make copies!

Also contact SilencerShop if you use their kiosks.

Trigger finger, or the off hand one? Loss of tactile sensation could be a problem. I'm sorry to hear of the accident. Hope all works out well for you.

I shoot from both sides. However, it's mostly on the non-injured hand. I do have the paperwork from the emergency room. The good news is that no tendons were cut. The stitches come out tomorrow.

Just updating, my form 1 that was pending research was approved today. 35 days pending research, 22 days submitted. That’s including the 3 days it took for prints to mail. 57 days total.

Now back to all the form4 goodness. I have a long way to go:

OCM5 at 80 days
RC2 at 15 days

thank you for that info. i just submitted two Form 1s earlier this week. im hoping for sub-30 day approvals for both. i have a Form 4 pending also.

i guess its different people doing those Forms, but would be awesome if they used the BGC for the Form 1 and approved the Form 4s also.

But, we all know government is the enemy of efficiency.

3 approvals from 07/06/22
2 approvals from 08/16/22
9 approvals from 11/15/22
1 approvals from 12/16/22
4 approvals from 02/02/23 (89 days!!!)

19 total stamps approved in the past 3 days! 16 today, 2 yesterday, and 1 from Sunday. Everything from today was signed by Trish, who is known for doing most of the batch processes. The approvals from Sunday and Monday had other inspectors. I still have about a dozen items at my FFL waiting for stamps, fingers crossed that Trish knocks out the rest of them tomorrow!

Everything here is an Eform 4, so this now proves that they do batch process the Eforms and not just the paper forms. This is very important information for anyone else with a bunch of Eforms and were wondering if it's possible to batch process them.

Edit to add: everything here is on a traditional trust.

So all I have to do is get 17 more in my queue and I could get a batch approval as well. :)

This is what @USMCSGT0331 looks like in real life. That why it took only 89 days! Congratulations!

I printed/submitted my SS eF4 in back in July/2022. A few months later, I was working out in my shop cutting some metal, and I burned a perfect triangle into the pad of my left index finger. I submitted 3 eF1s the next day. My eF1s--with the perfect triangle of no prints--were all approved in under 30 days.

My eF4--with perfect and complete prints--took 298 days to get approval.

So far it doesn't look like the scars will look that bad. After it's completely healed it will, hopefully, look like a couple of lines across the finger tip. The good news is I think I'll still be able to squeeze a trigger as good as before, even if it's the weak side.

Signature is a 2 letter squiggle basically unreadable.

Not sure if it was just the time for me but I contact my congress representative 2 days ago and sent them everything and it was approved today.

And how are they doing the new SBR requests for the brace situation in 40 days? And yes that's a legit time frame, personally witnessed with another person recently.

My last SBR Form1 only took 19 days after my prints were received. That was just last month. Yet the form4’s are basically hitting 300 days. Ridiculous.

I had another suppressor that was submitted same day and was approved 4/2. It’s all across the board

i had two on the same day last year. one took 77 days. the other took 268. ridiculous inefficiency.

why those dont show up together under my efile account is baffling.
 
Go by certification date.

Just go out 240 (8 mo) on your phone, mark the date on your calendar and have it ring a bell for you. That way you only stress for 30+ days instead of 270+ days!

Or forget about it completely and youll be surprised when you get the approval email. Stress free
