Suppressors Form 4 wait time

[carbonbased]

My trust was was submitted 12/18 still waiting grrrrr

Yeah, one of my cans took over a year on a trust. It was submitted 11/2023 and I very recently got it this month. Had to get my congressman involved and then email the nics liaison after nothing happened. I did get the control number of the can in the FBI and passed that along to nics.

On my next cans I might just skip the trust as I never loan them out anyway. I’ve read they can be handed down via a Form 5 anyway after I die, trust or not. And in this instance, it’s a free transfer, but the recipient has to wait to clear a background check.

With a trust, the person on the trust gets the can immediately (also without paying a stamp fee).

Sorry. I figured it would take at least a few months with it being a trust. Even my form 1 can took me 11 months when I did that years ago so, I fully expected it to take a while. Maybe they have changed how they do it so they can get upin cans out of the way or something? Hopefully this nonsense will get done away with entirely and we can stop paying a tax on a muffler soon

There were a few changes.
Asa review of last year.

My Dad submitted an Eform 4 on a traditional trust 12/13 and got the approval to pick up 12/18.

I submitted an Eform 4 on 1/25 on my trust, so here's hoping mine goes just as fast, seeing as we're the only person on the others trust.

Eform 4 individual:
Submitted 1/25
Approved 1/28

Has anyone determined what causes the HUGE approval time variations? One individual, 3 days, someone else 6+ months, both approved.

Agents working from home, fapping instead of doing their job?

Why would emailing [email protected] accelerate the process?

Seriously?

Supposedly there are multiple parts in the process. The ATF and NICS are separate groups and sometimes fall out of sync with one waiting on the other.

I haven't heard a decent explanation for times yet. I skipped the trust for individual, because it was faster, for all the good it did me.

Efile submitted on 1/14 on Silencerco Scythe
Mailed fingerprint cards on 1/15 priority mail
They received cards on 1/21
Got an email today on 1/28 Approved!

Already picked it up. My local guy doesn’t have the digital fingerprint scan because he doesn’t sell enough to justify the $6K for it.

This was for individual not trust.
