I submitted mine thinking I was gonna be in the 170 day bracket...I chose poorly. Haha 200+ days now
December 25th is when I was charged for mine. I’ve heard nada.
Edit: Mine is on a Trust.
Seeing these wait times makes me want to get another suppressor pending.

There's a chart depending on which form with current approximate wait times from check chashing.

Or you could just go submit for one and by the time it arrives you'll still be waiting for the times to come down. BTW, I used to think that way too. I was waiting for the hearing protection act, etc, etc. I now have two and waiting on one more. Probably submit another soon. ?
I know the HPA will never happen. The whole system is dumb. It should just be as simple as a NICS check and it's yours.
It's just a personal thing about paying money for something and not being able to actuall posesss it for months and months.
Are you saying that your checks submitted with your form 4s written to the atf have not been cashed in four months? If so, I would check up on that. My cards are always charge right after they get the forms. Have you called?
I just treat like Christmas. One day I'll get a call and it's like Santa showed up. Even though my dealer/range will allow me to access and use it at the range, I don't.

@shoobe01 you're my good luck charm. Dealer just called after I quoted and posted. He said "13 months". I said "yep". Quickest of the three I've bought thus far though.
Finally picked my up yesterday. 300 days from check cash to my hands.
Purchased 3-30-2018
Check cashed 5-5-5-2018
Approved 2-11-2019
Picked up 2-28-2019
It was 14 days from approval until the stamp was mailed.

Stop calling. I hear alot of whining and crying. Get off your asses and write some letter to some congressmen, ATF, the President and whoever else gives a fuck and lets get this broken system fixed. Fuck it's 2019 and it's the fucking computer age and we can't get a decision in 3 days?????? Bitching like a bunch of women does nothing. Get pro-fucking active.
The NFA community needs an organization like GOA that can coordinate members efforts, inform, advocate, and lobby. I'm a member the ASA and I don't see that robust activism. I don't see the NFA getting repealed, but I certainly believe Congress can influence the ATF and FBI to streamline the process. Write the letters and make the calls.
I have called a couple times a month every month since october, sent a letter to my representative in January, been forwarded to talk to my "examiner" twice, (went to voicemail both times) in february. Check cashed April 3 2018, still pending.
And drill sergeant up there (79steeler) still doesn't get it right, although what a great motivational speech...
. It shouldn't take even 3 days to get a decision. Should be as fast as NICS check, or even better, no check. If you can't legally own a gun, you technically wouldn't have anything to suppress.

ASA has not impressed me. Now FPC on the other hand, I like their attitude and initiative.
my Eform 1 - individual took 17 days.
you can form 1 a "solvent trap" and drill out the baffles when you get your stamp.
Checks cashed May 11th 2018 on a trust C3 dealer got stamps 2-28.19 I got stamps delivery of my Maxim 9 pistol and FNC 5.56 MG yesterday 3.1.19
NFATCA exists, but there's been some complaint/accusation that:
One example of a complaint about a ruling they supported: https://blog.princelaw.com/2016/05/...king-again-now-regarding-silencer-engravings/
- They are too industry-centric
- The private individuals are too focused on their MG collections, and expressly don't want anything like a repeal of the Hughes Amendment as it would reduce the value of their collections
- They work with ATF, but very often seem to be actively advocating for more regulations

Our store got two ( same person ) stamps in today that we sent out Jan. 24th, 2018. On an Individual form 4 !! WTF ????
I'm going to write to my congressman. Is a hand written letter too much to request an inquiry? Will an email get ignored?
With such stellar service, you should probably let everyone else know where this was so that they can experience the same excellence.
That’s a kick in the nuts. That should be grounds for litigation. Emotional distress haha
Purchased from SS, single shot trust: 12/27/2018
Prints, paperwork etc submitted: 12/28/2018
Shutdown, form 3 limbo, etc.
Check cashed 2/14/2018
Stamp: I’m a resident alien.
Probably won’t get it if it ends up in FBI limbo. Senators are gun grabbers.

I hope not. Have been seeing a lot of guys that had theirs cashed in May getting their approvals so shouldn’t be too much longer.
Yeah but there’s a bunch of us from prior to that date still waiting. Soooo
I thought lead times were supposed to get shorter....
I have some from November 2018, and I'm waiting on S/N from TBAC on two. One I'm supposed to have this month the next S/N not expected until August.
Like someone else said above about writing your congessman I'm going to. Over a year to do a background check is stupid. I work in the nuclear field, just got mine redone for the 5 year. Took them 3 days.
