Suppressors Form 4 wait time

#11,612
Was it a Silencer Shop trust or something written out by your lawyer? The "boilerplate" ones like SS that most people use, from what I'm told, will get approved more quickly than the ones written by lawyers for individuals as someone literally has to read the whole doc.

I had heard the wait times were getting shorter, so I deiced to get another one. BOY was it FAST. It took almost 24 hours.

What’s up with these short wait times? Did the atf change something?

A computer does all the work now IF you get an instant proceed from NICS. Any type of delay, the computer kicks it to an actual person to look it over.

Where before it was always checked by a person and if someone got delayed, it held up the line for everyone else as it was first in first out

And don’t forget, this is for filing as an INDIVIDUAL, not a TRUST

I sent in two form fours last year. They were received on April 6 2023. I have called a couple times.
Just got one of them back on Tuesday 8 of May 2024. That one was for a suppressor. Not sure what the deal is with the second one.
These are both on a trust with 2 people.

I did a suppressor e-file personal and it came back in three days. Just wanted to see how it would go.

That and if you have someone that has the same name as you and is is on some list whether or not they’re an actual criminal I’m not sure if I believe that anymore as the system of law seems to be a little bit corrupt, so there’s that… for me FFL transfers take longer because of this

Can only imagine if I filed for a silencer. The awsome aft would make me wait for an extra 300 days.

So you have to find the other guy and make him disappear, and then in the future your transfers will be faster.

I have a customer in SD with a simple or common name.
There is another person with the same name who is a felon.
So far my customer is good with just his SS# but I told him getting a UPIN will be next if we start having trouble.
I am more than a bit concerned what the BATF will look like under four more years of what we are going through now.

Has anyone canceled an order? I'm thinking about canceling both of mine. This shit passes me off.

Do what we used to have to tell people all of the time. Forget about it.

Both of mine took 13 months each. My next I'm still waiting on the manufacturer so I can't even start the wait. Going to be form 1ing an Sbr at the same time to see how that might affect the wait since I'm keeping it all on a trust.

Local Gun shop is still the fastest way to get a suppressor if they have it in stock. The online sources are convenient but do take more time.

Capitol Armory delivered 6/5/24 - 1 month from order, but it did come right to my door.
