I enjoy seeing the neckbeard criers, personally.only go there to the approval megathread if you want to laugh, cry, or get really pissed off (depending on your mood and temperament)
As mentioned call the ATF and shoot an e-mail to [email protected]. Give them your name, DOB, and state of residence (no need for great detail) and ask if you have any pending or delayed checks for Form 4s. They might be able to enlighten you. I was told all my checks had cleared and to contact the ATF.
I have to give them a call next week. Have a Magnus that was submitted on 12/4/23 and have yet to receive my certification email.
Guess I was remembering wrong. I was thinking I got a separate "Certification" email, but after some searching looks like since I got the submitted email with the permit/control number it is certified. Sign of getting older I guess lol.

You know what the best part about getting your first can is? The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th one that will soon follow.
I'm already shopping for #2.
I will/am in the market for a 22 can. Outside of shotgun and revolver, I'll have a can for every gun I own. They sneak up on ya
Submitted form 1 in July. Is this the normal wait time? Thinking I should do another just to see if that gets approved first.
Seeing a lot of 7-30 day turnarounds floating around the web on Form 1s.
I’m currently at 15 days with a mil expedite letter in and no dice so far.

I did a form 1 Dec 5th and it was approved Jan 2nd.
Just pushed another form 1 through today. Curious if it’ll be as fast!

Two years??? You have an insight as to why so long? And did you do anything to finally break it free?
Well actually, that’s just one year and 10 days. Still a long time.
Hey! Don’t drag me into this…
I am hoping, however, that my two don’t take that long. It would be nice to be able to actually use what I’ve paid for.
I called the ATF two times throughout the wait after fall and also email my congressman but neither did any good. My form one approved 6:30am Jan 2nd and around 10:30 am same morning the form 4 magically cleared.

This is what @sgtkeebler, @JIMB3AM and @Desert_Racer look like in real life. No wonder they get their Form 1s approved faster than a dog takes to a bone! Congratulations!

No rhyme or reason as to the order in which these get approved.

Both approved the same day my congressman’s staff received a reply from the FBI saying all items approved. I have another Form 4 submitted 11/10/23 that FBI cleared and ATF replied “avg wait times are currently 225 days.” So they know they can just hit the button but they just wouldn’t.

They could literally process them in 5 to 15 minutes (same as a NICS check for a gun purchase), but they don’t… It’s called government, bureaucracy, and job security.
And it would encourage more people to purchase and use them.They could literally process them in 5 to 15 minutes (same as a NICS check for a gun purchase), but they don’t… It’s called government, bureaucracy, and job security.
That is exactly itThey could literally process them in 5 to 15 minutes (same as a NICS check for a gun purchase), but they don’t… It’s called government, bureaucracy, and job security.
From the time I hit submit on a NICS check, I usually give it a minute to check status and rarely is it not "proceed" at that point.
As greedy as them bassturds are to take our money you would think they would see the untapped gold mine and jack the examiners up to get em pushed through quicker.
And I, like an idiot would give them more money just to own a piece of pipe
almost a year ago, I got approved, got the stamp received the suppressor, yesterday I get a notice of approval and a tax stamp again. Tag says if this is a duplicate, please ignore.
How thoughtful and kind…The ATF was making sure you knew you were actually approved and good to go!
I even started wondering if I had xanax purchased another, the serial number gave it away. Moment of disappointment. I have 2 others in jail as well.
I read so many threads on Form 4s that I’m not sure what way is up. I finally got a reply from the NICS Liason email address after over a month today. It said, “The NICS currently shows no National Firearm Act (NFA) checks for you.”
Does this mean it’s in the ATFs hands at this point?

When I purchased it, I told myself it would be my only one. After about ten rounds down range with it, I let my dealer know I was ordering another one for my AR's, a dedicated QD one.
It's my first and I've only shot a couple of rounds through a suppressed 10.5" AR prior so I have no real experience to compare it to but it's like shooting subsonic 22 target ammo from a rifle, maybe less in noise signature. It's damn quiet to me, not the least bit of discomfort while shooting without hearing protection.
It seems to have a marked effect on the recoil as well. I don't know if that is a thing or if a component of recoil is your reaction to muzzle blast (I'd like to hear from those experienced in this).
Here's a crappy(windy) video of me shooting my 6.5 TL3 and the enticer:

This is absolute truth of how fucked up and careless the BATFE and the FBI is still to this day. It sucks for people that have to wait a whole year just to find out that they’re sharing a name with someone that has a massive or even simple criminal record. They won’t push to find out who’s who, YOU have to do the leg work and prove yourself. And you guys that have pushed hard to get extra benefits through the VA, you’re 100% flagged and targeted for mental illness denials. It’s fucking bullshit…..
Got another one this morning. This is my first one that doesn’t have the examiners name signed in approval. Just thought that was odd
My last approval didn’t include an examiner name.
Also thought that was kind of strange
I finally have the R30 that I've been waiting on. THIS IS A WEIRD ONE. I got an email on 1/20/24 from silencer shop saying it was approved with the PDF attached. I NEVER got the email from the atf. The approve date was 11/16/23 the same as the above. I waited another 2 months from their mess up. Even the guy that did my paperwork said this is a first. Technically it was 152 days but was never notified.
Used the R30 this past weekend for the 2 day PRS match and won tac class. I like the can just wish I had it for hunting season.
