Today I received an email from SilncerCo commenting on reduced eForm 4 wait times. It claimed that a new ATF process will reduce wait times to just a few days or weeks…. They pointed to this article

Are Fast eForms Transfers Here To Stay? - American Suppressor Association

When it comes to suppressors, wait times suck! Since they were first regulated in 1934, delays associated with Form 4 processing have been a reality that the suppressor community has had to live with. For years, the American Suppressor Association has actively advocated for changes to the...

People are getting them silly fast. My last few went from 11 months, 6 months, and one today that was approved in 5 months. Something is changing.

It's true, I received mine in 4 days last week

All my buddies are getting approved from start to finish in 2-7 days.

There is a marked difference in timing for Trusts vs. Individuals, so keep that in mind

I think maybe the atf is trying to expedite things so there is no movement to make them over the counter and they lose a major revenue stream. When has any government entity cared about customer service.

If it's worth an extra $200 to get a can now versus waiting several months, maybe one can purchase as an individual then file to transfer to their trust

With the kiosk system, the trust can be set up at the same time and then if one trust per can, trusts are easily adjusted for who can possess. This is what I was told and am going early next week to get mine done.

Mine are all in trusts (one person) and I'm still waiting (6 months is the farthest out the I expect). If it's a marketing ploy it worked. Capitol Armory was out of most, if not all, Dead Air products when I checked a few days ago.

I had two approved in 2 and 4 days couple weeks ago. Ordered two more and submitted today

The Atf doesn't get to keep the taxes they collect.
$200 per silencer is a "major" revenue stream? The national debt is 35 trillion dollars.
When has any government entity cared about a revenue stream??
