3 weeks on a paper form 4, nothing yet. It would be nice if eforms would work person to person.

Shop in my area has a Salvo in stock. Very tempted to go try to trade my .500 for it...got the gun for well under normal sticker so I'd still make money on the trade, and there's plenty of meat on the bone for the shop.

But I don't know if I want to part with the .500.

Are different regions handled differently?

I've never had a delay on NICS and a form 1 came back in 11 days in December.

Serious question:

Why are some of you guys using paper forms? Greater chance of being lost, etc, and definitely a longer wait time.

Glutton for punishment, like those of us still using trusts?

Mail in guys get physical stamps.  Not sure what the advantage of that is though.

Not everyone is buying new or filling a form 1. Individual to individual is still done via paper. I can wait for my mg.

3 weeks for silencerco to certify. Another 10 days for the gunshop to submit to the atf due to system issues caused by atf system updates supposedly. Ready to certify went back to ready to stage. Actually submitted on 4/2 once I went in and asked the shop what the fuck is going on. Nothing yet. So far not really wowed for my first can. Already have an sbr. I was not holding my breath for a fast turn around so I’ll just get on with my life and stop thinking about it

Those getting eform1s back so quickly... How are you doing your prints?

I have a digital copy of my prints but it's Photoshop copy so I can print out my own, not eft prints.

Is there a way to get copies of prints you can email/upload to them.l?

Makes sense to me.  End around gun registration.  If you buy a suppressor, more than likely you have a gun.

I really do not understand why trust applications are taking longer. I have filed a number of Form 1 trusts lately, and they cleared in four to seven days, so the trust aspect is not an issue!

All the good cans are sold out everywhere.

Unless you get lucky with a in-stock notice somewhere, the back order wait time is longer than approval times.

According to the ATF, they have to verify the trusts are legal in the states they were created then they do the other transfer stuff.

I can understand that the first time the trust submits an application, but after that it should just be a quick scan for any amendment changes and then approve it.  I've got multiple SBRs and suppressors approved using the same trust, shouldn't need to do an entire review each time.

IIRC trusts aren't retained so the examiner doesn't know each time whether or not it's the same one.

Because the left wants to put semi auto's in the NFA, for an eventual ban.  It was literally on Biden's 2020 campaign website, and is now found on other gun control websites.

You can put millions on the NFA is the process takes a year, so they're speeding things up.  Dolts think it's because of some dumb lawsuit over wait times, but the ATF couldn't give a rat's fuck about that.

The brace debacle was the test to see people would, and enough people were dumb enough to take the bait.

My boss and I purchased suppressors together in Feb. The shop we purchased from uses Silencer Shop. I certified mine Feb 26. My status still says "certified".

My boss finally got around to certifying his Monday. Came back approved today (Weds).

Happy for him but WTF!

Did you buy it through Silencer Shop?
Is the suppressor at your local dealer?

I think you are missing my point. They process Form 1 trusts in a few days. Therefore, the trust aspect of the process takes little if any extra time. Thus there is no logical reason for Form 4 trust applications to be delayed so significantly.

But then, logic is a mental process not to be applied to those in the "gubermint."

Sanity check here. My Form 4 says "certified" on my Silencershop dashboard. That means it's awaiting ATF approval correct?

I'm at 247 days for two suppressors on an EForm4 for a trust, so their numbers are kind of optimistic.

My timeline was exactly 3 weeks from placing the order on SS to pickup. Form 4 was approved in 5 days.
