Sometimes it's the ATF's fault as well. Mine took about 3 weeks to be ready to certfiy, which was due to the ATF taking a while to approve the form 3.
PAY DIRT BOYS! 2, 5-6-22, 5-10-22 cert, one yesterday, one today! woot. Thank you RC!

LUCKY! How did you get them 3 months before the certification date?!? Just picking man!
Yeah I have been doing that for mine on 5/7/2022.....
So I went back and looked at my form and i did the initial submission on 5/7 but I didn't certify it until 5/20/22... so that's probably why mine hasn't come yet..... oops
I know people! --haha, changed to 2022LUCKY! How did you get them 3 months before the certification date?!? Just picking man!
Tuff one was the Nomad 30 as I wasn't going to waste rifle ammo indoors at 25 yards. At least I could use the pistol as I waited.
Next week!!! They are already at 05/13/22. I was hoping in the next 30 min., lol.
It'd way better to think of it that way though then be pleasantly surprised if it comes sooner. They aren't actually done on order
Hell yeah! I've got one on 5/17. Hopefully I'll get it this week! Maybe next!
This right here makes my blood boil. In theory, someone could be stuck in a loop over the course of YEARS before they get their stuff. They should be able to clear up something like that quickly and easily. It's wrong on so many levels.
Still pending as of this morning. Looks like a lot of us in the early May timeframe got jumped over big time.
Just certified today. But I took many attempts for it to go through

That's a few steps closer to my 553xxx cans! I think I've got 4-5 sitting in the queue right in that window... it's been so long I've lost count!
How so? Everytime I've bought a can once the ATF has cleared me I've had to do the 4473 or whatever background check it is to take possession from the FFL.
They just keep the form, they don't do anything with it, so I suppose they could do that and then send it?
Unless, I misread their homepage, it appears that they can as long as the purchaser lives in one of the states they have listed, which WV is one. They state that no form3 is needed and that they handle the entire transaction from start to finish. I am assuming that they have an affiliated FFL in each of those states. I will call Monday to verify, but that's how it reads to me. There is a place to fill out an electronic 4473 on my profile page on their site, so perhaps that's e-signed once ATF approval happens. I also paid for shipping as well, so I'm pretty sure I read it correctly.
Worst case, I have to drive to their affiliated FFL to pick it up, which is fine too, I can be anywhere in the state in a few hours. Is anyone from Capitol Armory on this site?

Capital Armory is great to work with. I bought a suppressor from them the first time last September, sent the fingerprints right away and was certified in a week from time of purchase. I just put another suppressor in jail last month and they called the next day after purchase to certify since they had everything on file.

The one downside to the eform system is that it seems to have done away with the randomness of maybe getting into the right pile and a quick approval. I got lucky and my first can submitted in Nov ‘20 was 5 months. My second with eforms was like 8, and my current wait I’m expecting at least 8. No more hope of getting lucky it seems.
I’m not disagreeing or criticizing but am just struck by how much this post reminds me of movies like “Onward” where the characters live in a modern, rational world and pine for the old days of chaos, danger, and magic because the modern world is too predictable.
I'm sure it has been said in this thread already but in case it has not or anyone missed it, ATF announced that eForms 1 and 4 will be done by two different groups and "should" not slow down form 4 approvals..
We shall see..

Had not heard this, but that is great info to know. Maybe this will eventually speed the eform 4’s back up close to 90…
Haven't been around in a while, unreal you guys are waiting almost a year for an eform... Last few I did I got back in less than a month a little over a year ago. Paper files almost always take forever IME. Waited 14 months once.
If you're SBR'ing, efiling yourself and using the option for resubmission for subsequent filings GREATLY reduce time (20 days once) --less shit for them to do I guess.
Good luck!

Are you talking about not having to upload trust docs again? Funny that would speed anything up.
The form 1s have always been fairly short wait times. They were up to 3 or 4 more this for a bit, but I think they're back around a month now.
Form 4 efiles are the ones taking for-fuckin-ever.
Thata what seems to be the case for many but my form 1 took 11 months I think. That was a form 1 can and a trust, so that may have something to do with it. That was before the new efile and all a few years ago. I know many did get them in a month or two though at that time.
