I am "local"ish to CA so I actually go to their door. What I can say about the guys and gals at CA is that they are just good folks. There is a reason I have exactly 1 can through SS and every single other can I have bought has been through CA. Griffin now does their direct purchase cans through CA, so that makes using CA an even easier no brainer for me.

CA, I love you all, but this blurb on your website is not true
 : "We monitor the progress of all ATF forms to ensure they are not misplaced at the ATF/NFA branch. Recently, a small percentage of forms exceed the current average wait time. In every case, a responsible party of the transfer has had their background check at the FBI delayed."<--individual form 4 submitted in March with a Pending status. No need to redo your website because of little old me though. I'm just special.

Docusign on 5/17 Certified/submitted form 4 for both on 5/30 Waiting... (was hoping I would be one of those 24hr approvals :(, still hopeful it'll be quicker than my last 10 month wait) |

Damn. Meant to update this thread but guess I'm easily distracted.
From the other thread- Last update- Placed order with Griffin Armament on 4/25/24. My e-form 4 was approved on 5/16/24 through Capital Armory. Mr Rev-9 was delivered 6/1/24. Damn. Sure beats my last one 15 yrs ago! Spent the evening at the range last night. Sounded great on an MP5, A single shot "one off" pistol and an XDm Elite. All in all a pretty painless process with plenty of comms and help from Capitol Armory. |

I have a question. I'm currently waiting for my ship date, after having received Cleo notification. Once it ships after the 7 day wait, does it ship straight to me, or does it first have to go the the CA state ffl, then on to me? I read somewhere online that it may go.to the ffl that ca uses for my state first, then to me. What kind of ship times are people seeing?

04/03/24 Ordered a Griffin Revolution 9 from GA fulfilled by CA.
Sent finger print cards off a few days later. (now have a EFT file thanks to CA) 04/15/24 certified 05/30/24 F4 approved 05/31/24 4473 completed 06/06/24 4473 accepted at CLEO 06/13/24 received can in mail Overall pretty pleased, was hoping for a quick approval but nothing CA could do. Very pleased with the sub 5 minute phone call it took to approve versus the clusterfuck it has taken with SS. The 7 day wait for the 4473 is annoying, but imo/ime its worth it to not deal with the alternative of SS taking a week or two to certify or going to the shop for pickup. My next suppressor purchase will be via CA. Wish I had a shop local to me that was proficient in NFA purchases that would submit on their own with EFT but no luck. |

Got the email about prints on the 28th. I had to send in print cards as Noone around here does it electronically. Certified on June 12 and approved on the 14th. Filled out the 4473 this weekend so now 7 day waiting period. Fairly painless process. |

I'm a big CA fan having now gone through the process. I ordered my OCL Titanium on 5/19 and it was in my hand on 6/13. Granted I did have a 1 day form 4 approval, but it also took me a few days to do the fingerprints.

All my other forms I’ve done myself have gone through my county sheriff. This Form4 has the South Carolina state police/SCHP colonel listed. Is this going to cause any issues? |

Is this going to cause any issues? You are going to need to manually enter your Sheriff's or city LEO's mailing address. I used to use my state police captain as they were quick to accept the notification. I was told by CA that the ATF now requires them to require us to choose the local agency which would respond to a 911 call. I live outside of the city so this would be my sheriff's dept or state police; I was told I have to use my local sheriff. |

I don’t recall anywhere in the process that would’ve allowed that. The Form 4 blocks only allow me to add and save signatures, this is what populated with the form. Just looked back through it, no where would it have allowed me to enter CLEO information and the DocuSign portion had restricted fields to signature only.
And their DocuSign email instructions say: verify all information about yourself, make sure signature portrays your actual signature, your SSN won’t show up, trust transfers require multiple signatures. If it makes such a difference in approving or rejecting a form, detailing that in the instructions seems prudent. Never done it like this before and had no idea it would make a difference Guess I’m calling Capitol Armory tomorrow to kick the form back to me or update it on their end somehow. |

I assumed you were talking about the process of choosing where CA should send your CLEO notification. That portion is where you need to choose your local LEO that would respond to a 911 call. If this is not pertaining to the mailing of your CLEO notification, I would call CA for guidance. |

Yes, this is pertaining to the Form 4 section 12. What I’m saying is there was never anything in the process that mentioned selecting or changing it. When I got the docusign, I entered my signature, verified my personal info, clicked next 2 or 3 times entering my signature in where required. It populated SCHP on its own rather than my county of record which I did include correctly. If this is such a key thing to enter and it must be done manually…they make zero mention of this importance anywhere. Clearly this isn’t the first time this question has come up And I live very rurally. I don’t know who would respond to be quite honest. Never called anyone I just texted a friend of mine who certified within the last week or so doing this same program. CA compliance didn’t say anything about his with SCHP being listed rather than his county sheriff during the review, and had him certify the form Regardless I’ll be calling them when they open to kick the form back to me if that’s what it takes. Not ready to certify yet so I still have time to fix it if need be. |

Not ready to certify yet so I still have time to fix it if need be. I believe you should be good to go on that notification. CA lists the Director of TX DPS as the notification contact on my form 4's. When I was ready to fill out the 4473 I had to fill a document that list my local Chief LE officer which is my county Sheriff where they send the NOTC notification before the 7 day waiting period. Today is the end of my 7 day waiting period so I should be getting a tracking number for 2 of my cans. |

Bought 3 cans, a Saker 556, an Omega 300, and a Switchback 22lr can. Submitted April 29 and heard NOTHING SINCE!!  I just read an article on Microsoft that said suppressor wait times had been cut from 10 months to 1 day. Somebody sure is dishing out the baloney!!

Ordered Obsidian 45 from CA on June 15 and a Checkmate HD from Griffin on June 18. They were both just delivered by the UPS man. Not bad for only having to get off my ass to go get a fingerprint eft. Now it's just click, pay, sign and wait.
I remember sitting as a teenager in the 80's watching the news and they were talking about this thing called the internet. I was skeptical but they were right.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 11B3XCIB: Signature confirmation on delivery? Or do they just leave it on the porch Congrats on the new can Yes, signature confirmation. I leave a note on my door advising that I authorize the release of the package with tracking number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and provide my phone number for my driver to call with any questions. I prefer this over releasing packages through the app as this ensures the only way the package is released is if the driver is at my door and reads the note. Releasing it through the app leaves open the possibility that a new driver leaves your package at the wrong address. |

Short answer, I would/will 100% do it again.
Bought a Checkmate HD through Griffin at outdoor expo early may. Completed the prints and registration within a few days, but misunderstood the process a little and didn’t realize you had to buy the stamp to proceed. The guy on the phone to certify the e-form was great, my office computer was a little glitchy. Then took me a bit to do the form 44xx due to my not reading emails. Everything that CA handled went great. In my hands roughly 9 weeks after buying. First thing I’ve bought as an individual, still think trust is a better way to go, but I think that the speed of delivery is worth it. If I end up buying a knights may just wait on the trust. I wish CA still sold CAT suppressors |
