Well my thunderbeast was approved on 3/23. Haven’t heard anything from my dealer. Still have two others in the pipeline. I wasn’t one of the lucky ones that got multiple approvals. Story of my life.

That one from the middle of your submissions was approved first
Still waiting on dealer to call as well for my 3/24 approval, they know it’s coming and said they’ll call as soon as they get it
Oh
oh ya. Lol. I kinda figured it would happen that way. There is guys waiting close to a year still and I got one from OCT. my first one back in 2016 took 14 months though so I guess I caught a break.

FINALLY!
Purchased 5/31/19
Check Cashed 4/28/19
4 Person trust
here's the fun part-it was approved 3/8/20( which was a Sunday-weird) and the stamp has been at the dealer for weeks. I called today to check on the status, they told me it was approved
Called the dealer, they said "the guy that usually handles that (the owner) has been out for about 3 weeks. You can come pick it up" W.T.F.
Went on my lunch hour to pick it up. 373 days from purchase to possession, but it was actually approved in 343 days.
I need to call on the other one that I purchased 7/3/19, cashed 7/11/19

I purchased both a Silencerco Omega and A thunder beast ultra. The Omega has had it check cashed a month ago and I just got notification that the Ultra is heading to my SOT. I am applying as an individual, and chance that these 2 cans will be batched together being they are applied as individuals?
Sent in 6 form 4's at once on a two-person trust. All checks cashed 8/14, got ONE approved 3/3 for an Omega and stamp in hand 3/12...
Not sure when the rest will roll in, but glad at least someone said "Let the poor bastard have the one while he waits..."
Have another Form 4 on Trust cashed 10/21 and a form 4 individual cashed 10/14 (Wife isn't allowed to play with that one). No updates as of yet...

Form 4 with 1RP. Sent everything off 3/4/19, check was cashed 3/11/19.... Still Farking waiting... Since then I've been approved (35 days total wait) for a form 1 with the same Trust as my original....
It would be absolutely tits if, whenever they approve an application, they would search the Database and see if there are other waiting submissions for that applicant and just go ahead and approve them all....

I totally agree. If the final step in the process is to do a search through their database to see if any other are pending, they could also be approved as a batch. Think of how many people have multiple pending Form 4's. But that would be efficient, and we are talking about government.
I just picked up my first on Tuesday, it was approved on 3/8. So I called on the status of my 2nd. It was approved 4/5, stamp still in transit. I ordered that one 6/4/19, cashed 7/3
Same thing happened to me. Date approved was March 18. Once the stamp was received the envelope was stamped mailed on April 4th. I just picked mine up.Form 4 Suppressor - Trust (one responsible person)

Thank you for that info! I see your profile indicates you are in MN, I'm in NC.
Hopefully my dealer calls me tomorrow and I can pick it up on Saturday before heading to the range.

Well done!!
Same as my buddy pretty much. He put his in then and got approved around the same time, maybe a day before or so you. (Got it on 4/7). Meanwhile I got my shit in early (compared to him.... 5/20/19) and am STILL waiting. Admittedly I’m now ‘assigned’ as of last tuesday. As of today, I’m still not approved though.
This system is by far and away the most AGGRAVATING ever devised.
There is a bill being proposed that would require the application approved or rejected in 90 days or it would be an automatic approval. I hope that goes through.
Guam will probably capsize before the bill would ever make it out of committee. However, we still need to bug the heck out of the congress critters anyway.
By contacting the congress critters, we accomplish several things:
1) Maybe a miracle will occur and the legislation passes. However, that miracle won't occur unless we let our elected officials know what we want.
2) By contacting congress about this legislation we let the politicians pushing for this bill know that we support them. I've been involved in politics before, and I know that when this happens, it goes a long way to let them know that we are out there and we support them. They will know what they can do to make their constituents happy. They are human also and a pat on the back is a great morale booster.
3) By contacting the congress critters about this legislation the anti-gun politicians also know that we aren't going away. They may vote against the legislation but might be reluctant to bring up any anti-gun legislation in the future. They may even keep quiet about any support for any future anti-gun legislation.
4) If enough constituents contact an anti-gun politician he or she might "see the light" and support the bill.
-This last point is very important. In the state that I live in, a surprisingly large number of pro-gun people are ignorant of recent events regarding 2A rights in Virginia. On the other hand, I can guarantee you the politicians in this state and on the Federal level were watching with great interest. They wonder if the same ground swell of a populist pro-gun movement will happen in their state.
-These same politicians sense a sea-change and will be very careful about how they vote on any gun legislation. Some of them are hard-core anti-gunners but the fence-sitters will pay attention to events in other states like Virginia if they want reelected.
Think of your phone calls, emails and letters as [figurative] pro-gun bullets in a war. One bullet may not win a battle or war. On the other hand, a lot of bullets will wear the enemy down.
So tax stamp cashed 5-22-19 on individual efile through silencershop kiosk. I think its bullshit its taken this long considering it was individual efile.
ATF approved on 3-25-20 but my gunshop says they haven't seen my stamps. Maybe I'm cranky but haven't I waited long enough? How bloody long does it take for stamps to get delivered to said gun shop? What should/can I even do? Lost in the mail? What would you guys do if anything.

Hi, 5/20/19 here - two cans - 1 RP trust.
I’ve studied this extensively for the last few months and what I can tell you is, May of last year was a Bermuda Triangle. There was a massive gap on approvals from that time. My buddy submitted the exact same deal (2 cans, 1RP trust) on June 20th or so (month after me) and he got his back last week. Not to mention all these absolutely insane short approvals that seem to have dried up now. A rash of them in Nov, Dec etc getting them back quick.
Its a joke whats gone on and your situation is especially hard to take. Indi’s shouldn’t take that long!
I’m hoping to be approved next week at absolute latest. Its ‘assigned’ as of last Monday (could have been earlier but thats the last time I called on it)
I hope you get yours soon my friend and thank you for your observations.
So I bought 2 in May. Not here yet.
I bought the Q erector 22 can in like July. I got a call 3 months later from my gun shop and I thought "why the hell would they be calling me" and the Q erector was back and ready to pick up. So I'm one of those lucky bastards but I want my big can very bad. Anyway that's in line with your observation
Got stamps back 2 weeks ago for a SiCo Hybrid and a TacSol Axiom. Form 4 trust filed February 23, 2019.
Just called today to check status. Said it was approved today! Finally!
Mailed everything off March 4 2019
Check cashed March 11-2019
Approved April 13 2020.
Form 4 trust with 1 RP.

So a follow up to this saga. I called the shop Friday afternoon 10Apr2020 around 4pm to see if the stamp had arrived. I was once again told: "If it was in we would have called you already. It takes about 14 days after approval for the stamp to come in.". I politely remind them that it was approved 18Mar2020 and I'm at 20 days, would they mind looking to verify it's not come in yet? Their response once again was: "If it was here we would have called you." Fine, so I show up Saturday afternoon to pick up a transfer item and also state I'm there for an NFA item. Not surprisingly my stamp is indeed there!! Once the paperwork is completed and I've taken possession I politely inquire when the stamp arrived and why I was never notified...."We don't know when the stamp arrived, and we couldn't get in contact with you."
I just walked away because it wasn't worth the argument. Needless to say that is the last time I will be using that dealer. ?
Holy shit. Please tell me it’s triangle shooting academy. If it is, I’m in the same boat. That’s who has mine and the stamp was approved 3/20. Nothing but crickets.So a follow up to this saga.

I have potential good news for you....that was NOT the Silencer Shop dealer I was using!! However, you still may be screwed, because your stamp should be there by now.
If they are near enough to you it may just be worth showing up in person to inquire about the status of your NFA item.
I'll send you a PM later today to discuss potential future SOT's.
My future SOT is me.
I would totally show up but they decided to shut down. They claim to be calling and scheduling appointments to pick stuff up as they see fit.
I will never give them a dime again.
This sounds like my dealer. I need to pop in to visit them but they’re only seeing people by appointment. I was approved 3/24 though, so tomorrow marks 3 weeks. They treat me the same way on the phone, with the hard-o “if we haven’t called you it’s not here” type remarks.
Good on you for becoming your own future SOT. That will simplify things considerably!
That really sucks about TSA!! I was not aware that they had closed their doors. Most NC gun shops have remained open and are doing a VERY brisk business despite the Governor implementing stupid and arbitrary restrictions about the number of people per sq ft in retail spaces.
The only good news I can give you is that the Wake Co order ends April 16th and the statewide order is set to expire April 30th....if our "esteemed" Governor doesn't extend it.
