Suppressors Form 4 wait time

[Holliday]

Well, I did some checking around online last night, and it looks like they're up to approving individual Form 4s submitted in mid-Oct. That seems like quite a jump forward from where they were just two or three weeks ago.

Because of your awesome Intel I call the BATF this morning and.......
SUPPRESSOR APPROVED AUG 7th!!!!!!!
Sorry, I am like a kid on Christmas morning!

Waiting for stamp to arrive at ThunderBeast ........

It appears my prediction of a slingshot effect after the pre-41F bubble was spot-on. They have gone from mid-July 2016 to mid Oct 2016 in one months time.


Individual-

Check cash Oct 16th 2016
Approved Aug 7th
Edit: stamp arrived 8/14/17

 

[Flyingbullseye]

Max, did you file as a individual or trust?

 

[vh20]

Wow, that's awesome news! Thanks for confirming what I found was accurate. My check was cashed early March, so I've still got a bit of a wait, but it is starting to get closer. At that rate, I "could" be looking at only another two months, if it continues.

Sorry; Individual , I'll add that....

At the risk of overplaying my predictions, I'm betting you'll be approved before year's end.......hopefully much sooner.

Stamp arrive at TBAC today. 7 days from approval to can in hand!

[Holliday]

Well I purchased a 22 takedown yesterday while I was there, so it begins again. Still getting prints, photos etc , together to submit to BATF.

 

[Iamero]

Been waiting since late January of this year for approval on my 223 can. By other people's assumptions, it sounds like I am still on track for approval by November which is what was estimated when I submitted it in the first place. Would love to see it sooner, but I have a 50 cal build to distract me right now at least.

For the guys that filed individual that's great, at least some things are moving. I'm jealous for you guys. But for the most of us who filed with a trust we're still in July and August. Because I got fucked and couldn't file until February I have resigned to the fact I probably won't see my can until sometime next spring.

Paper. But damn, what'd that one guy do? Send in a few Benjamin's with his form?

 

[chorizo]

That has been on the track chart for quite some time. I believe it is an entry error

I saw yours got approved a week or two ago. Mine should be good to go any day now. Or so I hope.

 

[vh20]

I see an Individual Form 4 from Jan. 17 showing up on the tracker now. It was exactly one week ago when the first one from Dec. 16 showed up.

[300LW]

My daughter's Form 1 arrived last week. It took 9 months which is a good bit faster than I expected.

 

[Outlaw45]

I see that individual submissions are coming back, are Form 4 trusts taking longer? I have two form 4 trusts from Sept. 13, 2016 I'm waiting one.

This shit is looking great! I'm getting anxious.

 

[chorizo]

Trusts are taking longer and have for the last year. Still a backlog of trusts with errors they have to clear pre 41f. Post 41f the trust is reviewed and then all of the folks on the trust need background checks. A more involved process

Ill have to call my dealer today. I sent mine in the tail end of September and no stamp that I know of yet. Individual form 4

 

[Iamero]

Coworker submitted April 2016, got denied in December saying he had the wrong form and had to resubmit.

Submitted January 7, 2017
Apprived September 2, 2017

Hoping to see mine in the next couple weeks!

 

[Jrb572]

I tried calling my dealer yesterday. They are gone for the holiday. Hopefully I'll hear from them next week.

 

[secondofangle2]

I have a F4 Trust (for a MG but no difference) that was mailed in early Dec, 2017, check not cashed till March, I figured "it's been 9 months since I mailed it I'll call them".
Lady says, "We received it March 20th, and it's still pending."

Good grief, it's going to be 12 or maybe many more months before that thing is approved and F4 in hand

 

[Graywolf.260]

Just got word my stamp came in- individual application went in Sept 2016.

I don't want to go through this BS again until Congress passes the hearing protection act. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same, if I were a suppressor manufacturer I'd be (even more) pissed at those jackoffs.

The HPA is a much bigger "if/probably won't happen" than a when. I don't foresee it ever making it out of subcommittee, much less committee, and even then having enough votes. And certainly don't expect Congressmen to be clamoring to get on board what could be seen as a controversial bill as we enter primary season. Don't be drinking the koolaid Josh Waldron is handing out about it having a chance.
Not trying to be a Debby-downer, just trying to give you a realistic view. If you're contemplating more suppressors, the best advice is to go ahead and act as if you have never heard of the HPA because if you are waiting on it, you will probably be waiting forever.

 

[Jrb572]

Finally got the call yesterday. Stamp has 9-1-17 on it. Check cashed sometime in October last year if I remember correctly.

Just got this message from sliencerco: "Breaking news: HPA, H.R. 367, has been combined into the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement (SHARE) Act, H.R. 3668, and passed the National Resource Committee with a 22 to 13 vote. Contact your congressmen by clicking the button below and urge them to vote “yes” on SHARE"

At least its something, though I have heard that the SHARE act has it's own issues

 

[msrtex]

I do watch the news related to the hearing protection act but will reiterate what has been said previously, if you want a suppressor I see no reason to wait on this to pass. Wait times with the ATF do seem to be getting a little shorter.

 

[Strykervet]

Signed 15 Sept. 16, pending the 12th of October, should be getting it soon the guy said --I just called ATF, one of the only times I've called them in I don't know how many purchases. But a year is my WTF? point.

I hope new submissions don't take as long. Damn.

 

[Ayoung1]

Trust or individual? If trust it may be a while yet as I have one with almost identical dates as yours. Most recent trust approval I have seen was from late August '16.
