ATF sure taking their good sweet time!

[338 dude]

I did the e-form on Dec. 7th of 2021 and I am still waiting. I did call the aft office a couple weeks ago and the women told me there's no eta on when they will be getting to the paperwork SilencerShop said 90-120 days back then. My guess when they decide to get to they will. It's hard for me to believe it's 90-120 days I think that's a gimmick

I called a couple months ago to check on mine all they would tell me is (it is in the system.)

I think they do false advertising, or just let a few lucky random folks get through in that tue frame so they call build the hype up on getting more can sold. If I wasn't hearing impaired I would have probably not gone through the trouble and only bought one so I can just reach up and turn my hearing off when I'm hunting not wear ear muffs

Got two Supressors at the same time. End of july 2021. Both checks were cashed Aug 3rd. I'm now at 11 months and 3 weeks. Did both of them on the Silencer Shop Kiosk. I did do a family trust. Curious how long u guys have been waiting. I'm thinking any day now. Not sure if it's considered an e-file form 4 or what. U look on SilencerShop page they are saying 145-155 days for E-file form 4 trust and 13 months for paper file? My first Supressors so I have no clue. Sure wish they would hurry up! Chomping at the bit!

I was talking with an atf agent who was complaining about the wait times....so you're not alone.

Why should it take any longer than the instant background check?

Mine took from Jan 29 2022-May 20-2022. That was efile but very quick

well just going to say this, take as you want
after decades in the gun business and after having been a class III dealer
I have meet and befriended a lot of folks in a lot of places
and I was once told this by a person I believe, as have been told like things several other times by others I trusted

when it comes to the ATF processing paper work, there is NO time frame, things can sit on a desk for weeks or months or YEARS, the folks processing them have NO time frame they have to follow
they can get one thru in a few hours to an end\less wait if they feel like it!
so when anyone says it takes "X" time, its not set in any stone by any means!
and more likely just comes down to to the person working that got your paperwork to go thru, and how they feel like processing it,
as far as I know there are ZERO written rules on a time frame they have to follow, which means, its UP to the person your paper work landed on there desk!
and that person might NOT be so motivated!
Just be happy when you get it, was what I was told, as it could have been a LOT longer!

and these days , I imagine the work load is as high as its ever been, and well, finding GOOD workers, NOT such a easy deal! or just ones that are not there never is any performance standard in government processes.ANTI gun minded folks!

There never is any performance standard, repercussions for non-performance, personal agendas activities in any government process. Try that in a for-profit organization. We the Little Peeps merely fund their incompetence, indifference, political agendas, laziness, control, rights infringements, et el without recourse.

As said above,I can buy a gun in 5 minutes,well over 100 days on my suppressor and still not in my hands.

7/27/21 and still waiting.

 

[Brownsfan]

Just got mine at the 14 month mark, so that can give you an idea of how long they are taking right now

 

[Brownsfan]

Should have added that I used the old paper submission process. Since then they have implemented an electronic process that is running less than half that time….

I called my US senator awhile back and tried to explain why we shouldn't need a stamp for a suppressor . Hopefully if we keep on them , one of these days we wont have to go through this mess .

161 and 131 days on two eform 4s (filed 2/7 and 3/9). Trying to forget about it, but seems a bunch of guys who filed in Feb and March have been skipped over (at least according to people reporting approvals on other sites).
