Suppressors Form 4 wait time

Surely you are going to eFile it and have them in 3 months, right?

My dealer is set up to do the E-file and I have the executed PDF's of my Trust so that route is a possibility. Although the E-file route has been much faster at some point I'm sure it will become just as backlogged as the paper system. When that point is reached is anyone's guess. Call me odd, but I actually prefer the handwritten copies with an actual affixed tax stamp.

Mine went in in early April and end if April 2013 and just got back in early February and late February. I plan to efile an osprey 45 in a couple weeks once transferred to my FFL. Hope to get back by fall.

I e filed two form 4's on my trust 10-22-13. Called the ATF for an update, I was told 2-22-14.

Sure enough I received both suppressors with a stamped, and signed pdf four months to the day. This is out of the South East Region.

I called to check on my Form 1 SBR application this morning and it was approved today. I went individual route and believe I mailed it out mid April last year. Long wait, but it will be worth it when paperwork arrives in mail!

Your math sucks, unless your calendar has 13 months on it. 10/22/13 to 1/22/14 is THREE months, not four.

Sorry about that, 10/22/13 to 2/22/14. It was four months on the dot. Regardless the point is, it's much easier to e-file and a very fast return. In comparison I have a buddy that did the mail in method on a trust in July of 2013 and has yet to get his NFA item. This is in the south east region.

I just got a call from TriggerTime that my three Form 4s for Thunderbeast suppressors are approved and I can pick up my suppressors. I ordered these Dec. 01, 2012. The Form 3s had to be approved first which took many months. The Form 4s went pending end June 2013. Glad to hear I can finally pick them up.

My forms went Pending in June 2013 Still waiting for my call. I even called the status line the last two days but I been getting a Voicemail? Which is weird I never ran into that issue before. Anyone have their hours of operation?

This is my first time with this but sent paperwork in for form 4 for suppressor April of 13. Check was cashed May 1st. Originally was told paperwork went pending June 5th and was 8 to 9 months. I have called once a month just to check on it and now I'm being told it went pending July 24th and its about 10 months currently. Is this normal to get different pending dates? I'm just ready to have the damn thing at this point lol, including the dealer to dealer transfer time its been over a year now.

It says you are from Texas so maybe you ordered from Silencer shop like I did? I called them today they said should take anywhere from 4-10 days after approval before the dealer receives it. Then some more paper work to have them mail it to me to sign and then a 7 day grace period something about the local cleo needs to be notified.

I called today and my form 4 was approved on 3/4/2014.

It was a trust form 4 submitted 4/24/2013.

How long does the stamp take to get to the dealer?

I see a disturbing trend of (I want it now) folks who are calling and wasting time of our ATF examiners in this thread. NFA is a field for the patient, stop slowing the system worrying about yourself. Say what you would like but I'm sure I'm not the only one irritated with this.

Stop calling and screwing (prolonging the process) for the rest of us.

Mike,

Yes, I am in houston and ordered from SilencerShop. They were great to work with, and the fact that they can ship to your door is awesome.


Bp44,
I understand your frustration with how long stamps are taking right now, but honestly we are paying a pretty penny for the stamp. We can't expect to write a check and then wonder if it will ever deliver anything. Plus, my call with the ATF was 43 seconds. Surely the US government can't be slowed down by a 43 second phonecall (sarcasm)!

Are you under the impression they have examiners answering the phone? If so, that isn't the case.

They have a receptionist that handles inquiries extremely efficiently. "Hello I'd like to check in the status of.."
"Serial number please"
"Xxxxxx its a suppress-"
"Name of the dealer transferring the item"
"Some guys gun store"
"Went pending x should have approval by x.
"thank you and good day."
Two minute phone call at most.

BP, I'm sorry I slowed the system down for you. I guess my 11 month wait (I want it now) for a 2 min phone call was asking to much.

TeaRex,
Yeah unfortunately I won't be home to receive it since I'm stationed out in Alabama. I ordered a suppressor cover from SilencerShop and it was a dollar cheaper than the manufacture website andddd free shipping. So if you do see any parts that you may want you might want to check their inventory. Their service is pretty amazing.

You have no idea what you are talking about. They have receptionists that answer the phones. They are not examiners or examiner assistants. Their sole purpose is to pick up the phone.

Mailed 1/13
check cashed 7/13
Paper trust
pending. 2/14
NFA said, possibly April, May?
Trying to figure out who I pissed off and how? 16 months?

It may have had something to do with the Arizona Gov. finger thing?
