I've personally heard as high as 20 days. I thought they are required to mail within 30 days but I'm not sure.

Day 217 for Form 4 eFile. I may was well have done it by paper at this point. There clearly has been no benefit (for me) by going the eFile route. Working for a "Fee Based Agency" I'm used to not getting/having the equipment that would enhance efficiency. What I'm NOT used to is it being at MY EXPENSE. Wish I could understand the situation better here…..

My local gun shop has started pushing paper forms again. In their opinion by the end of the year paper forms will be faster again

Bought Dec 20th, here Oct 22. 10 frigging months and 2 days, on a efile. Of course it was thru the dipwads at Silencer Central, who think it is OK to take 60 days to submit to ATF after being paid, and another 25 days to ship after recieving the e-4473. I will never deal with those guys, ever again.....
I'm really starting to regret going with the Banish 30 after seeing some of the comments on here........and other places. E Form was submitted to ATF in June so guess I have a much longer wait than I thought. My first suppressor purchase so I'll just chalk it up as a learning experience

I don't get the delays on the forms, Silencer shop got me Docusigns within 24 hours, waiting for the Form 3 to the final dealer was the longest part of the process.

You won't say that when u get your suppressor. You just opened Pandora's box and now you'll want one for every gun u own.Was mine too, brother. I'll NEVER do it again…you can believe that.

Remorse is short lived...the first shot through the can erases all that negative feeling you endured through the ordeal.Man, I really hope you're not right! I don't like feeling this aggravated.
