Mine was submitted on 2-4-22. I called today and they said it was pending. I did it on the new e form. Which it would take 90 days. It's been more than 90 days. Maybe it's 90 days after someone reviews and approves the paperwork.

Still nothing from ATF. But I did get some good news! The rig I'm putting it on is finally ready at the gun smith. I bought a Bergara Ridge Wilderness .308. I had them cut the barrel shorter, re-thread, Cerakote everything that wasn't already done, and bed the stock. And mount my new Swaro Z5. So at least I get to shoot this weekend while I wait!

I've bought 3 suppressors since January 2021 and I just called on the first one that went pending May 23rd 2021. It's still pending. 360 days and counting

Sorry Gents!!! I have zero Knowledge on this subject!!! Seems like a lot of red tape, and I'm really not sure of the benefit it brings to hunting. I have much to learn.

Pretty sure I heard they were rejecting all Form 1 apps. I had mine about ready to submit when I heard that a couple of months ago.
I don't have a reference for that - maybe some of the better informed members here know more than I do.

What's not to like about a suppressor? Reduced damage to ears, reduced recoil, better opportunity for follow up shots. Downside is cost and wait. I know I've spent more money on dumber things, and I've wasted more time on less worthwhile things. Mainly ex girlfriends.

Not having to wear any ear protection is a pretty big benefit.

Did you find out why?
I have 2 form 1's from 2 yrs ago and labeled them homemade, they took about 45 days to get processed. But I was reading that if you picked one of the named kits from the drop down menu that it would go thru quicker, so I picked one called socom9 cause this is for a 9mm carbine. Well I was wrong, they said that the kit I picked was an NFA item and you cant use an NFA item to make an NFA item. So they will be refunding my 200 bucks and the lady just said go back and start your form 1 from the beginning and put in homemade and not pick from the menu. Gonna suck to wait all that time again.

Figures, that's more proof that the mass denial for Form 1s was related to them tracing kits.
Cajun Hunter, you got your can yet?? Also have you had a chance to shoot that rifle? If so how's you like it?
