Suppressor wait times

[NorthernHunter]

They have to have it in stock when you buy, not after approval. The serial number must be issued before application.....

Thanks for the clarification. Like I mentioned, this isn't something I've done more than once. I was fairly happy with the process considering all of the horror stories

I had to wait a few weeks to start my paperwork for the distributor to get the silencers and have them serialized etc. one took a bit longer than the other but not a huge deal.

FWIW ... eFile Form 4 Trust (Via Silencer Shop + local FFL)
Certified - 3/24/22
Approved - 12/1/22

Sadly I have Suppressors in the queue (Certification dates of 4/4 & 4/5) and they are still in queue. I know it's asking a lot, but if they were to look at all the items for a single individual ... the queue would come down much faster - IMHO

My latest E form was 5 months. I called the ATF office every 2 weeks for an update after the initial 90 days. I used Silencer Shop for my submittals....

I’d be pretty stoked with 8 months. My paper file took 14 months.

Nobody should be stoked about waiting 8 months to take possession of a suppressor.

It should be walk in, pay for it, walk out.

Obviously but thats just not the reality of the situation is it? with the system in place, I'd take 8 months and be happy.

If you think 8 months is bad, imagine waiting the 8 months to get denied for a typo on your trust and being told your 8 months now starts over.

All I’ve done is tell my story.

I am confused. How is this part of your story?

You need to get a grip dude, you’re obsessed with SC. You got your silencers, get over it and move on. Maybe go try out you’re new cans.

They shouldn’t start you over. Usually for errors like that they will approve pretty quick after correction.

Fingers crossed. The folks at silencer shop said it's like a drag race. You wait in line and nobody looks at anything until the very end and if there's an issue you lose your spot and start over. We shall see


Edit: I e- filed. They said paper forms can have corrections made if necessary, but the e forms don't work the same way.

I certified 4/15 so that's good to hear

 

[MuleyFever]

Im back in. Went and bought a Hyperion K. The lady doing the filings said the rate of approvals has picked up so maybe it wont be as long this time.

 

[OrangeMan73]

WOOHOO. I'm an April guy so maybe Christmas will come this year on time.

 

[letrbuck]

Got this on my last one (4 0 instead of 3 in a row) , thankfully I just returned it since it was outdated anyway. Took 14 months for the denial.

04/01/2022 through silencer shop
Approval today 12/14/22 ultra 7
8.5 months, add a .5, take away the decimal and switch the months to days and it only took 90 days !
