With all these less than a week approval’s, who’s lucky like me not to get one? Submitted 4/5 with the hopes of getting one but as usual, it hasn’t worked out.
Eta: mine is a form 4 individual with electronic prints. |

I haven't. 2/27 trust and 3/4 individual. Nothing yet.
Note: those are both on either side of the recent eforms outage. I had a 4373 go through about three weeks ago. Half hour wait maybe, but I was at a big box and everyone was waiting. |

I’m on day 10 and it’s killing me! That’s only because I keep seeing people post “approved in 36 hrs” or approved in two days.

I am waiting on my supressor to clear form 3 and get shipped to my l9cal shop. It's been 3 days so far for the form 3. Then we get to start on the form 4. This will be my first one, so I'm not expecting anything quick, but it would be nice.

Been waiting on an individual eForm since 11/27/23, a trust from 1/15/24 and just certified another trust on 4/25. Crickets so far. Although I have some stuff on my record from 1979 so I knew it wouldn’t be fast anyway. Hopefully soon…

I submitted one on 3/27/24 and another on 4/2/24. The one from early April has been approved but the first one certified is still waiting, makes zero sense. Both are on individual F4s

I’m curious if there is some commonality between people who aren’t getting the quick individual form 4 approvals. No SSN on the form? Common name? First NFA item? Past NICS delays or denials? Low social credit score?
I feel bad for you guys but it’s not all roses over here on the sub 2 day approval side.  |

I'm waiting on one from November last year and one from early April this year.
Both through Capital. I went paper form instead of eform, I guess that's why it's taking so long. |

This would make sense why you two aren’t getting fast approvals. I was listing to a podcast where someone was saying they had been on an industry call with the atf and they explained why form 4s were coming back so fast for individual e-file. Basically they have automated the system so that if the background check came back clean it would auto approve without any manual review. Trusts still have to be manually reviewed and obviously the same for paper form 4s, so that’s why those aren’t getting the quick approvals. Stands to reason if the background check comes back anything other than clean it goes in the pile for manual review. |

One certified 4/3, one on Tuesday. Both SS single shots
I was getting worried and researching what to do if a denial happens because it was taking so long, but it looks like it’s semi normal to not get the ultra quick turnovers. So now I’m relieved, but now am anticipating a possible long wait ☹️ |

I just watched a new video from.ASA yesterday where they again said that ATF is still working on getting standardized trusts to be completed as quick as individuals. Wonder if, when that happens, they'll clear out the existing ones first, or leave us at the bottom of the pile?

Silencer Shop Announcements
Cadence issue with certifications May 02, 2024 There is an issue with ATF eForms that is preventing individuals with a cadence (Jr, Sr, 2nd, III, etc) from being able to certify. The ATF is aware of the issue and they are currently working on fixing it. We would recommend waiting to certify until after the ATF has fixed the issue. Silencer Shop will continue to provide information as we receive it. |
