I sent my paperwork in 4 months ago on several suppresors (my first), the checks have long been cashed but no word yet. I know I have no background problem and I am sure there is a backup but as I sent my forms in well before the election shoudn't I have heard something by now?

Not necessarily, they have been taking a little longer recently. Give the ATF a call(304-616-4500) with the serial number and they will give you a status. They will not tell you when it will be approved, but they will tell you when/if it went pending. Currently it looks like about 4-5 weeks from pending to approved, but yours may be different.

Ten weeks is what mine took. Put it in the mail on Nov. 3, approved Jan. 7, got it back on Jan 12 –– so 70 days. Or 180 hours. Or 100,800 minutes. Or 6,048,000 seconds.

They're probably due back to your dealer any day now.

My latest can is being rebuilt by the manufacturer I dont really care how long it takes, just as long as its back from Norcross by the time my stamp comes in.

BTW this is a demo can that my dealer sent back to have them rebuild before I took posession of it for me.

They are slowing down.

Sent in august - 38 days to go pending.
send in oct - 43 days to go pending.
send in nov -  56 days to go pending.

They are slowing down.

Time to go pending is before your examiner even looks at it. Some are fast, some are slow, some are a crapshoot.   My examiner runs about 7-8 wees after pending,   so I'll be at about 4 months when the last ones come around.

My examiner is Nancy Flanigan. Spoke with her last week and she was incredibly helpful. Dont call her though, let her finish my forms first


There are two tacked threads in 'general class 3' that shows cycle times by examiner.

Based on 9 months, you trusted the dealer to send in the paperwork. He either didn't do it promptly, or he was waiting for another silencer serial number for your papers.

9 months is obscene.    If you submitted in mid october, you should have it now. Call your dealer and get the s/n. Call in yourself and ask the status.  It either hasn't been sitting there for 9 months, or it has some huge issue....
