Suppressors Form 4 wait time

[StephenShivers]

Has everyone been doing it the "SilencerShop way"? That for me seems to have resulted in the fastest approvals. Maybe just coincidence.

My SS Trust was the silencer shop way using e-forms. It took one week, not bad. My 3 prior to that one were individual e-forms through my local SOT gunsmith and took 1 to 3 days. I just finished setting up through Capitol Armory today with a multi trust, should form 4 it in the next few days, however long it takes them to get to me on that so I'll see how long that takes... A week or less would be great. RTR

The only thing I didn’t like about Capitol Armory was that they have to hold it for 10 days. I’ve only done one through them. Had I just used a dealer I would’ve had it in a week vs about a month all said and done.

I think Sheels is all paper still somehow.

Dealer can definitely matter in my opinion. My dealer I’ve bought 4 from, 3 in the last 10 days, gets the job done very quickly as far is their part in the process. They contact me as soon as it’s approved and have everything ready when I arrive. One was approved kinda late Tuesday night. Wednesday morning the gun shop contacted me about an hour before they opened saying it was approved and they’d have it ready as soon as I could get it.

I bought one suppressor from another local gun shop and they took forever, told me I had to come in person to certify, then gave me some BS story about them having to do all of this paperwork before I could pick it up after it was approved.

The last three I just bought were in stock so that definitely shortens the time. But the dealer definitely can make a difference in wait times also if they dint do their part in a timely manner. All three were bought and submitted without me ever going in to the store.
