Suppressors Form 4 wait time

[Bigrederic]

I will be calling on Monday again to check the status on this one. But beyond that, I have actually put off buying anymore cans. I have my FFL paperwork in and am just going to apply for the SOT when it comes back. No one within 100 miles of our island community is a SOT., and with us being a subsistence hunting and fishing type community that loves its guns I figured what the hell, why not.

 

[NorthWesterner]

Wondering what going on with mine as well. Submitted 3 form 4s on a trust the same day. Mailed Sept 7 2018, checks cashed sept 20 2018, not a peep from the atf or my dealer. Called to check them and all they tell me is pending. Called again yesterday and the person who answered the phone told me they were not appointed to an examiner because none was listed. How do you not get appointed an examiner in a years time? I've got 4 stamps already and this is by far the longest wait I've ever had. Hoping theyre back for hunting season Oct 26... but really starting to doubt it.

Same here,
Check cashed 9/22/18
Form 4 trust
Still pending not assigned to an examiner.
At what point do I contact my congressman?

 

[goichi1]

Got my first can today, there is definitely something weird going on...
300 OMEGA bought on 26Jun19, picked up from dealer today 23SEP19.....only 3 months.

Bought a Switchback .22 in Feb 19, still no word.......but only been about 7 months so I haven't questioned it.

 

[Frittelli]

Check cashed 10-31-18
Approved 9-17-19

Was the Omega 300 bought through Silencer Shop? There have been a bunch of reports of late June, early July '19 idividual F4s that were recently approved, being filed through SS seems to be a common thread.

 

[Bigrederic]

Just called them, same thing... it is pending, noting more nothing less. I almost bought another one this morning to test the theory that they are moving super fast on current purchases, but didn't see any that I was dying to own at SShop.

No, just went into a local shooting range and purchased, paper fingerprints, forms ect.....they mailed it in.

 

[DukeGSP]

Card processed 1/11/19.... still pending

 

[goichi1]

I just called to check the status of my other two form 4's, received Mar 1 st and Apr 15th as some here have done also, got the same thing, both are pending.....that's all they could say, but when asked why I got one back in under 90 days recently, she said that the difference in approval times may have something to do with the dealers, but I don't see how that is possible, but you never know. Just more mixed information to throw in there.

Some weird stuff going on with regards to Form 4 Trusts cashed in the middle of August 2018. Although NFA Tracker is reports from individuals not a single Form 4 Trust has been reported to have come back from 8/10 to 8/21. On average times are falling and Trusts are coming in from middle of October 2018. Unfortunately my Form 4 is in that window. Sure hope they find that stack sooner than later. 13+ Months and counting.

Yup; I'm late August 2018 and still waiting.

 

[Tt78]

Yup; I'm late August 2018 and still waiting.

Just called again and they're waiting for my application to clear, which apparently is my background check. 13 months after check cashed. This is my 5th Form 4 with this trust and I renewed my CCP two months ago. Ridiculous.

 

[chutch30]

Got my first can and from what I have read on wait times, I consider myself very very lucky. I have seen a few others with similar check cashed dates get their approvals around the same time.

[Fatherdeath]

OH HOT DAMN SON 60 days is like the first month of eforms...great job im going to go buy a can now and see if i can get lucky, NFA tracker is starting to show a sharp decline for new items

 

[SkyScrapin]

Just got off the phone with ATF. Two Form4s on trusts at 12 months today, both going to examiners now and they tell me 6-8 more weeks.

My first one a decade ago took 2.5 months. My longest one has taken 12 months. These two are sure to hold the record. And I have 3 more contestants in queue that might be the record holders yet. ?

[mountainman308]

My shortest wait was 11 months back in 2014.

 

[Billdoe708]

That gives me hope. 12/13/18....

 

[Bigrederic]

This is like a damn black hole, still not assigned after over a year.

 

[MTL75]

And the hope is gone. Called, not assigned to an examiner yet.

If you don’t mind me asking what number did you use, the one posted above only rings one time and then goes dead for me

 

[Killswitch Engage]

friend just messaged me saying his form4 submitted 6/21/19 is back with stamp at the dealer.

Couple customers check cleared 9th of july 2019 and approved on the 22nd. Shits getting real!

 

[Landon4]

I'm waiting on 9mm can that was cashed on 7-15-19 maybe I’ll get lucky and it will show up soon, but I also have 2 that we’re cashed back in March which is only 6 months out but who knows

 

[matleez]

Call the atf and ask. One other question. Did your shop use the bar code or no?

 

[Night Assassin]

Well I got through to the ATF, Only to hear bad news my form 4 was received 12/17/2018 . Still not assigned to an examiner. This shit blows !

 

[Mooseknuckles]

I called atf today. Lady said that it should be approved by November. Form 4 was submitted on 2/8/18

 

[LeftyJason]

I called atf today. Lady said that it should be approved by November. Form 4 was submitted on 2/8/18

Sorry meant received on 2/8/18

[bkillion]

I got a call from my dealer today my individual came back in about 75 days

 

[ifgator]

I about fell over today with phone call I got. Purchased on 7/6/19 and tax stamp cashed 7/18/19. Heck I purchased 2 others May 2nd. Crazy

 

[matleez]

So from what I've found out they hired new people and took stacks of paperwork off the top and said go to work.

 

[nn8734]

I also spoke to an examiner last week and she told me the target TAT for requests is 90 days but didn’t indicate when that would be achieved. I’m just glad to see they are doing something about it, lol.

 

[Jcarpenter223]

My local dealer told me on thursday that cans are coming back in 2 months when filed individual. Ive got a pistol can in a trust that will take the expected time :/ looks like the next rifle can will be filed individual

 

[5RWill]

Seen a couple of guys get theirs back in 3-4 months now. Fingers crossed!

Sandman Ti, Individual Form 4 submitted/mailed 6/10/19 (yes, 6/10/19). Approved 9/20/19, just picked it up at my FFL. 100'ish days. There was another guy picking up his can right next to me with similar stats.

(Picked up a different can from the same FFL a week ago and it had been in jail for 9.5 months)

Hope the trend continues.

[Longshot231]

I got 6 cans that I purchased over a period from the beginning of July to the beginning of this month; form-4 paper individual. It also looks like the wait times are dropping or am I imagining things?

Wait. You got cans back from beginning of September?!

 

[_Windrider_]

I hate all of you. With my luck it’ll be 2021.

 

[Longshot231]

Wait. You got cans back from beginning of September?!

I purchased them but am waiting for the tax stamps. I'm hopping that the wait times keep dropping or at the worst remain steady.

Sorry for the confusion.

 

[matleez]

Oh ok. I sent mine in on 8/8 so based on what I've seen at my shop I'm in the far track so end of this month?

 

[22-Dasher]

This is just so demoralizing...

 

[matleez]

I imagine they are working at it from both ends. The top and bottom. This is just going to take some time. It's not like you got pushed further back.

 

[mi223]

Just got my ultra 7 yesterday.

Submitted 9/18/18
Cashed 10/5/18
Correction letter sent from atf 9/2/19
Correction sent from me 9/12/19
Aproved 9/22/19
Stamp at dealer 9/26/19

Man that was painful. But the wait was worth it

 

[Bigrederic]

Check cashed 09/10/2018 .
Called today, told pending, and still not assigned to a examiner. This is completely ridiculous.

On the plus side I picked up my 300 Norma yesterday.
