Still waiting. Dealer says hes getting late October/Early Novembers right now. I figure sometime around late May or Early June I'll have it in hand.

I am pretty excited that this one got approved in that short of time. My first one took over a year to have it in hand.

Got notified my stamp is at the dealer. Purchased 6/15/20, check cashed 7/19/20. Just shy of 10 months. Form 4 individual e-file.

 

[erslll]

There is currently no such thing as Form 4 e-file. Hasn't been for a few years. I think people are confusing Silencer Shop filing and e-filing.

Who here has a Form 3 stuck in purgatory? February I had one go through SilencerShop in 4 days. I went through another dealer for my other can and its been waiting to clear for 5 weeks (efile).

EDIT: just talked to the nfa branch. 10 days for form 3 electronic approval.

I thought the Form 3 for my Sandman-S was stuck in limbo, because it showed "Form 3 Approved" for like 2 weeks, but then I called Silencer Shop, and they said, they were just backed up with lots of orders and had not shipped my can out to my SOT yet. Then once it arrived at my SOT, my Form 4 was sent to the ATF the very next day, and the stamp was cashed 7 days later.

Lucky my dealer always has it stuck on "waiting for dealer approval" for like 2 weeks lol

Yeah, SS moves really fast! This place either takes forever to file or the NFA branch is really getting backed up now.

As fast as my stuff has all gone through once it got sent to the ATF, I'd say it's most-likely your dealer dragging their ass.

If any dealer near you has a Silencer Shop kiosk where you can do you fingerprints and store your information in their system, buying a suppressor is beyond easy. I recommend the Silencer Shop route for sure. All 4 of mine were super simple, and once I got my info and prints in the system, it was like buying on amazon, but with 1 extra step (DocuSign) that takes a whole extra 2 minutes every time you purchase a can. And now that my local SOT has a kiosk, and a range for conjugal visits while waiting on my stamps, It's going to make this obsession even worse. LOL

Agreed! Its a sickness I'm finding myself wanting to buy suppressors for guns I don't even have yet!!!


And that was before I learned I can buy an SBR from online or a manufacturer and as long as its shipped to a powered by silencershop dealer they will still use my info on file for the filing and use any available single shot trusts I have.

I've still got to get about 10 rifles threaded... And I'm still seeing more cans I want, and a few more guns I "need"...

Most-likely your dealer... Not all dealers are created equal. I got lucky, the 2 different SOT's that I've used are on-point. Soon as the paperwork was sent, they were on the ball with getting it sent back to SS, to get them to send it off to the ATF.

the thread is regarding form 4 wait times, which means posting on approved form 4 is useful to the thread

[Reload10]

How long are guys seeing it take from approval to pick up? I had a March 30 approval and nothing in hand yet

2 weeks give or take for me but I think its also highly dealer dependant.

 

[TxWelder35]

Man all these mid November cash dates are making me want to call up there on Monday and see if mines been approved. Nov 23 cash date on mine. Form 4 trust

Mine was a hair shy of 3 weeks. I picked mine up today, 5 months to the day from cashed to received (Nov. 16 to Apr. 16, approved Mar. 28). The wait from approved to stamp in hand was killing me!

 

[SilentVapor631]

The less you think about it the sooner it will come. It depends on lots of things..
Did you even sign the cashed Stamp ?

Call the atf, have your dealer info and serial number handy.

in the same boat here... my Sandman-S was approved on 3/30/2021... still waiting on my dealer

 

[M5Pilot]

304 616-4500 press 1 and then 1. Have serial # and dealer's name holding the suppressor.

 

[Lunchbox27]

A website to see approval?!

The AFT is light years away from having such technology. Hell, their electronic forms website look to be run on a LeapFrog.

My advice... wait for the call from the dealer. You could be approved and wait 4-6 weeks before the stamp even arrives, which will drive you even more crazy.

Just started my first one today and will be doing another once it hits the dealers hands.

Hopefully this one will be
submitted NLT 5/7/2021,
but whatever as long as it gets started.

 

[Mrindecisive]

Sorry if this is the wrong place. But did any of you guys submit form 3s before submitting your form 4? if so how long did the form 3 take?

 

[DirtyHarris]

I called today to check on my submission and was told that it is not in the system yet, but that they have received it as they charged my credit card on 3-31-21. The girl I spoke with was nice, but told me to check back in 90 days and that they currently have a big back log. Should I be worried? Are they starting to slow walk these things? I e-filed a form 1 at about the same time and that came back approved in less than a month.
