Submitted form 3 on 04/04/24
I will be shocked if this is approved in just a few days. As I am used to waiting over 10 months for approval from a form 3.

Well, my 2nd TBAC 22TD (black one) got approved this morning. Went and picked it up after work on my way home. My fastest one ever.

Certified on 3/28/24 for a Liberty Precision Mach S (seriously impressed with that can, esp at 8.6oz). No approval yet and the FOMO has set in.
Also, first eform and electronic fingerprint experience for me. It was nice to not have to go to the Sherrif’s office for prints and a signature, then hit CVS on the way back for a passport photo. I am pissed I won’t get an actual stamp this time. For $200 I feel like I want something physical in my hand!

These trust approvals give me hope that I might see mine soon. I've got two Form 1 and a Form 4 that I'm waiting for. Submitted on 11/24, 12/29, and 3/1.
It's all electronic. They basically send you a PDF of the paper form these days. I print them out (in high res color) and keep a copy in all my range bags along with a digital version "in the cloud" so I have multiple ways of showing the goods if needed.
A word of advice is in order: Some people elect to keep a photo or PDF image of the their approved Form 1 or Form 4 on their smart phone. That way, if someone with a badge wants to see it, they pull it up on their smart phone.
I would not do that. You never know when your smart phone's battery might die or you might lose it buried with everything else on the phone.
More importantly, if you show your phone to a LEO, that opens your entire smart phone to be searched by them. If you disagree with that, then let me know how that works out for you if the ATF/LEO wants to see the tax stamp.
Paper is cheaper than any other complications resulting from a search of your smart phone and the technology works every time.
In February, a local shop had some Form 1 turnarounds in 3 business days. They were on SS Trusts.

+1 (and I have heard the same from multiple 2A attorneys, to have paper copies).
Personally, I have a full-size copy printed and kept with the weapon in my gun bag or gun case AND a 50% printed copy that I put in my wallet or pocket.
I am still working out how to laminate the 50% copy (3 pages makes that weird), but for now, just the 3 pages printed and cut down to size so it will fit in my wallet.
I have a thee ring notebook binder about 3/4" thick with document protectors. All of the Form 1s and Form 4s are printed on both sides and each page inserted in the document protectors.
The notebook binder is kept in my vehicle. So it goes with me every time I go to the range.
Good idea for range time!
I keep the 50% size printouts in my wallet, so that if I'm NOT going to the range, but have my suppressed weapon(s) with me...I have a primary copy and a backup.
Not showing LEO's my phone (no unlocked phone to LEO's).

I purchased a suppressor through silencer shop. How long does it usually take to get certified. Im about 3 weeks in and just received the document to sign with the suppressor S/n. I checked with the shop i purchased it through, and they say there is more papaerwork before certification.
When you purchase through silencer shop you should get an email typically within 1-5 days advising you it's ready to be certified. This assuming the suppressor has been transferred to and is at the FFL. You can also login to your account and see if it's ready to be certified. I'd be contacting the FFL if I were you. If you ordered it and it's being transferred it may take longer.

I received the application for tax paid transfer and registration. i signed that form and i assume now the suppressor will be shipped to the FFL. After they receive it, then theres certification paperwork. is this correct.

Yes, that is correct. Mine was not in stock at my dealer and was shipped from the SilencerShop. It took several weeks for the transfer and paperwork.
Mine took 4 weeks to be submitted (bought from the Silencer Shop). After the Submittal it was 90 days approx
What is that? Mine was a trust if that helps and my wife was on as a trusted individual on the trust and it went pretty fast for my fist time ever.. I got 4 of them at the same time also.
My FIL just got two cans approved within 48 hours of certifying. Meanwhile, I called the ATF and I'm still "pending". Single shot trust from Feb 3rd and an individual app from 3/18. Was hoping for a quick approval.
Cliffs notes version as best I can tell, it goes like this...
IF you have had a stamp approved within the last 24 months you can skip subbmitting the trust paper work and just submit a from that says "Hey ATF, you've already looked at the trust and said we are good to go". That way they don't have to go over the trust again. RP questionaires and fingerprints still apply but at least it lessens the paper work they scrutinize.
Here is the full legaleze version...

I’ve been waiting on 2 individual form 4 approvals since 07/23. Going to buy another can tomorrow, hoping I can catch a quick approval.
Hello everyone. I have been lurking a while now and decided to create an account. I purchased my first can and submitted a Form 4 trust and ATF said they got it 1/17/24. I did the process through a Silencer Shop kiosk at my local store I purchased from. Seeing all of these faster approvals give me some hope that it will be sooner than I originally thought.
Love the forum, I have learned quite a bit reading. This will be my first can so I am anxious to get it.

I tried, didnt work. Got one Im waiting on that certified last june. Ive put in 4 more this year starting Jan all the way upto last week. Still waiting.
Not sure what Capitol or SiShop are doing for it, but when my mom & pop SOT was submitting eForms through ATF’s interface directly I provided them a 24 month letter in every instance.
silencershop trust. i had a steady stream of approvals, than it stopped and is stuck on the one from almost a year ago.
447 days.
filed 9 jan 23. approved 1 april 24. ONLY after a congressional inquiry. i also bitched about them delaying me each and every time i attempt to purchase a firearm. so we will see if that was addressed or not.
not at the same place i bought the can- i was actually going to buy a pistol, told the guy behind the counter i wanted to video it so i had proof that they fuck me each and every time. he got all snorty, so i told him to stuff himself. then i told the store manager what i said, his response...she was shocked and couldnt understand why he did that. getting off track here...
.....the gun purchase side of it is still untested at this point.

I sent a guy at work to Capitol Armory for a can Last week. Monday he bought a SiCo Spectre and CA filed his Individual form 4 paperwork. He got his approval Friday.... FML, I guarantee I would still be waiting...
I just bought 2 cans from CA both on a trust, will be interesting to see how long it takes , generally my SS cans took 4-6 months also on a trust
I have 2 on a paper paper from an individual that are at 5 months tight now.
Two and a half days e-filed as an individual. I have another that was e-filed as a trust that's at 2 1/2 months and counting.
If i felt like wasting a ton of. Money i would buy them as indivual and then sell to the trust
