Suppressors Form 4 wait time

[jb0311]

It's the best way, honestly. Plus, they store all your stuff in their database. So, once it's on file, buying new cans is like buying from Amazon. I think you have to update your prints every couple years, small price to pay to drive to a kiosk once every few years to update your prints, for that level of ease and convenience. Just simply my opinion, but some folks like doing it the old school way where they have to snail-mail everything and it takes FOREVER.

Obviously it depends on where you are mailing from but it took like 2 days for it to get there and the remainder of the business week for them to digitize them. I can wait under a week for part of a process that will ultimately take several months if I’m lucky. I only chime in so that someone new to the process doesn’t think that the kiosk is so convenient they NEED to drive 2 hours ,to a SOT they would never use otherwise, vs doing the exact same thing at home, minus the ink. If someone can’t figure out how to do fingerprints on their own, I have little faith they will even be able to attach the suppressor to their barrel when the time comes either.

I digress though, as this is supposed to be a “wait-time” thread.

You sent me a PM, but closed it before I could respond... 2 of my 3 were approved on 7/16/21, but I still haven't gotten my stamps yet. Called the dealer today, and they looked and said that they weren't in their most recent stack. So, I guess they'll be in the next batch....Hopefully.

December forms seemed to creep. I’m February so who knows how much longer it’ll take. I may start another one while I wait.

I started the process on 2 more this weekend. Got the silencershop stuff all set up now so it will be easier going forward. With how long it takes, I'm just going to continue to get a new one when my next stamp comes in, until I have all that I want.

You never get enough. How do you think Thunderbeast and the ATF stay in business?

I started 2 more... One in March (cashed in early April), and one more cashed in May.

Yeah, I just put that part because I didn't want it to sound like I was just going to get a new can every 6-8 months but I probably will, or something like that

Yeah, of the four of us that made purchases the same week, I am the only one still waiting.
If your stamp was cashed 1/7/21 I would look for your approval first week of September if you get lucky.

Awesome! What cans did you get? My 2 that came back were my Nomad-LT and Mask HD.

Nevermind, I see in the post above... If you haven't shot the Nomad-L yet, be prepared to be shocked at how quiet it is on short-action bolt-action rifles and subsonic .300 BLK. My Nomad-LT is insane. My local SOT is a machine gun range, and they have tons of cans, and customers who have suppressors, and everyone that works there heard it, and was shocked at how good it sounds & how quiet it is. The Nomad-L is the same can, just stainless steel instead of titanium.

I had a chance to try it out yesterday on my Howa 300 blackout and my 6.5....I was definitely impressed. Another one that surprised me was the Hybrid. It pretty much blew my Sig SRD45 out of the water. Very happy with both purchases in all. Now, I'm just waiting on a 3-lug adapter for the Hybrid.

The idiot at the dealer told me 4-6 months average when I bought mine in early December. He lied, and has since been fired for his stupidity encroaching into other facets of his job. Took me 8 months and 1 day from purchase to in-hand.

 

[IWillNotComply]

It's so weird how 99% of the approvals for the past 3 months have been <Dec 31, yet every few days, they slip in some random mid March approval. This is from the NFA sub just now

This is why my next 3 rifle purchases are going to be Ruger American Ranch rifles chambered for .300 BLK, 6.5 Grendel, and .350 Legend.

Of course, the .350 Legend will have to be ran through my Rugged Obsidian 45... If the dealer will ever get the go-ahead from the ATF to re-submit all the kicked-back Form-4's from their FFL number fiasco. There was a bunch of people who got disapproved due to the dealer swapping FFL numbers in the middle of a fiscal year (changed ownership, so had to get a new FFL number), and some of the Form-4's and stamps were cashed after 1/1/2021, and it caused a huge issue with about 100 Form-4's...Unfortunately, my Obsidian 45 was one of them. I was less than a month from an approval. They're going to expedite all the affected Form-4's, but they're waiting on the ATF to tell them when to resubmit them. Hopefully soon.

Same dealer, but at least my Nomad-LT and Mask HD slipped through the cracks and got approved. So that made me happy. I don't shoot pistols that much, so it's not a huge deal that the Rugged was the 1 can that this affected.

Yea I was wondering about 6.5 threw the nomad l. I will be getting on that to. I have the Obsidian 45 and it's a great can to. Butt the Nomad L is just wow. I would even say it's quieter than my Wolfman using 9mm subs plus wipes and that is saying something. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

I just picked up a Howa 1500 mini-action (My LGS had 1 left for $400)....I couldn't pass that up. I'm still breaking in the barrel, but so far I really like it. The Ruger American 300 blackout is pretty good also. Those are the only ones I've really looked at though.

Ruger American Ranch with the 16" barrel that takes AR mags. That's what I'm getting.

Yea is saw those. My LGS has a carbon fiber 300 blackout rifle that is sweet. Would be really great with the Nomad L butt Man it's expensive.

Just looked on Reddit and a bunch of Jan are finally coming threw. My next two are 2/2/2021 pending so September 2nd would be 7 Months I just don't see it happening. Hope it does though.

[Deadair7302]

It's a G215 there 2500 bucks they have a AR version than a bolt fully carbon fiber for 2200.

Where’s the review on the LT I’m itching to pull the trigger on one.

He isn't lying I have been in suppressors for about 15 year's have many and the Nomad L or LT is mind blowing. I have the L and it's just wow on 300blackout. My buddy has the standard Nomad. And it's great butt if you don't care about a little more weight and length I'd go with the Nomad L or LT over any 30 cal cans I've heard in person. The Enfield SPX 30 is supposed to be insane to butt I haven't heard it in person.
