What is ATF wait time for a suppressor?

It really makes zero sense on the timing of any of these. The first 2 I put in a couple of weeks ago I'm still waiting on. All of the 3 that have been approved were put in after 2 that I am still waiting on. Zero rhyme or reason.
Definitely doesn’t make sense. My two last Thursday were submitted within a minute of each other, approved two days apart. Still approved very quickly and such a huge improvement over my last ones a couple of years ago but still lots of varying times. I assume different people get each file but it just seems if a person has multiple applications they’d approve all of them at the same time. But, we know that's not how the government works. Saying that, overall they are getting approved vey quick now.

They are much faster for sure. My first can many years ago took 14 months. I got spoiled with the 2 - 3 day approvals of just a couple of months ago. Just wish there was some form of tracker to see where the hold up was.
