I'm over 9 months , got so impatient I bought another one yesterday.
Trust. Check cashed January 2018. Still waiting for 'FBI to clear.' 10 months...and counting. 
I'm just curious. How many people do you have on your trust? If it's a lot, could that have something to do with why it is taking so long?Trust. Check cashed January 2018. Still waiting for 'FBI to clear.' 10 months...and counting.
CC charged June 13th for Form 1 and Form 4.
Just received letter in the mail that my serial number wasn't recorded properly, I didn't include the three letters on the spikes lower, just the numbers DAMMIT!
Hope that doesn't put me at the back of the line for the SBR...

There's just 2 on the trust. Funny thing...I'm *usually* pretty patient about the whole thing. But it's my friends who know about it...they keep asking!
Its so misleading the way it's engraved. I've read it's been a big issue for a lot of folks.
I’m not sure what’s going on with mine. Bought 2 cans in December 17. Had all of my end of the paperwork ready for my dealer to send off early January 18. Called about a month ago and all they would tell me is things were still pending. First time buying a can and pretty disappointed with the way it’s going.
Did they mention "FBI review"? Thats where I'm at last time I checked. Really was hoping for 7 months....At 8 months today. Fingers crossed it's soon.
I had the same issue when I called them. They wouldn’t say how long it would be, what stage, etc. just pending. Got it after 13 months. Have four more in jail right now since July.
I have not called the ATF yet on my cans as it hasn't been 7 months yet for the first two I purchased.
However, I'm getting the impression that whenever anyone calls, the standard ATF response is always "pending." Is that always the case. If so, what's the point in calling?
That's a rhetorical question. I would still call if it were me. Yet, I can't see how anyone would not get pissed off at the glacial pace these bureaucrats work at.

Its only pending until they start to look at it (thats 95% of the wait time though).
On my currently pending form 1 that I messed up a model number on it is still pending but they could also tell me that such and such was done, the corrected forms were received and its back to waiting for review so... still pending but until it actually is up in the queue its the same as every other pending.
Once something happens they will have more info to share, until that point its just a single paper in the stack.
If they want my $200; well alright. They can have it.
If the Demonrats and the gun-grabbers wanted the NICS check so darn bad and said that it was supposed to be so darn great at keeping guns out of the hands of the bad guys then they ought to be able to apply a NICS check to suppressors and still take my $200. If the dealer doesn't hear anything then after three days, I ought to get my suppressor and the government still gets my $200.
Albeit the ideal situation is NO waiting periods, NO background checks, NO finger printing, NO tax stamp... No gun control - period.

Now the long wait. This past year my tbac ultra 7 .30 took almost exactly 6 months from the time they charged my card until i had stamp in hand. And in 2017 my form 1 was almost exactly 13 months. I will be happy if this can goes through in 7 months.

I’m really getting impatient. 250 days so far. The infringement is real.
. The infringement is real.Have wait times went up I called Friday and my form 4 individual has not even been assigned to a examiner I am at 190 days ain't looking good they get millions of dollars and almost 2.5months into the 2019 fiscal year they must to have all went on vacation .They say the FBI is the hold up hell the FBI has to get the paperwork to even begin to hold some one up . All that money and no progress and prob not for months to come . This process is very discouraging. They are considered a privilege for us not a right I say bull shit.
I’m at roughly 160 days. I submitted 3 cans and 2 SBRs in June. All were cashed on same day, but about 3 weeks ago I received one of my Form 1’s back because of a typo that I had to correct so I assume they’ve gotten to them and now just waiting to clear the background check.

You will need the suppressor SN and the dealer the item is being sent to. If a trust, you may need the trust name as well.
New trust, 2 people, 2 items, April 24 check, 231 days. dealer called last night.
Reading this thread can cause depression lol I’m at 210 days after cashed fml hate this
My wife works at our congressional office ... Let me pick her brain about an inquiry... I'll see what she says I'm at like 200 days
Trust with 3 people.
Nothing on it yet.
Waiting on 3 Suppressors
First one, check cashed 4/9/18
Called 2 days ago. Told in FBI backround check.
Contacted my state Senator and filled out the appropriate request which was basically just a short description of my problem and then I had to mail in a release of information form signed by me. I received a call from their office yesterday. They have to wait until the form with my signature gets there and then they will tackle the problem. We'll see. I'll post any updates.
A example of 2 examiner `s conversations as they are leaving work early because of FBI wait times .(well cod how many forms did you approve today I got 5 ?Sally I approved 3 and I would have tied you but one of the forms a guy did not capitalize his first name and the other I believe he put the letter o in place of zero on his serial number so both of them are going to the corner of my desk with all the corrections requested forms that have been siting there for a year.)
Back when I purchased my suppressors in June, the average wait time from when the check was cashed to when it was approved was 175 days. That time has increased now to 196 days.

Just wait until the big SiCo sale paperwork gets to the line. Really gonna back up. I wasn’t planning on doing any more suppressors for a while but because of the sale I now have five in the pipeline from July lol. That doesn’t include my free ones which haven’t shown up yet.

Hopefully won't have to wait that long. Current average time between approval and stamp is 11 days.
