I didn't see a thread about this. Anyone know what the current wait for a Form 3 is?

These Form 3 times frustrate me more than the Form 4 times (I don't have anything pending).

Form 3's should be almost instantaneous. Verified dealer to verified dealer? Come on.

Agreed.  It's almost as if they say, "Well Form 4 times are decreasing, how can we muck things up?  I know, lets increase Form 3 times so total wait time stays the same! Brilliant!'

My S/S wait was 58 days, now the long wait.

The Form 3 wait times most likely increased due to new product shipments both before and after Shot 2015...

I asked about this, especially with Dead air and Rugged entering the market. Nobody wanted to speculate on if those two manufacturers played a statistically significant role in the overall number of F3s floating around

Any updates?

I'm still waiting on one sent at the end of January.

My most recent form 3 was about 40 days, maybe a couple days less. I was notified the form 3 was being mailed on March 3 and got a shipping notification for the suppressor on April 13. I'd say between 35-40 days for it.

I'm still waiting on one from January 9th.  I had Capitol check and it's still pending.  I've gotten two other form 3's that have cleared since then for later purchases.  Heck, I just had a form 4 pending from 1/21 clear on April 15th.

I totally agree on the stupidity of it taking so long.  It's one SOT to another SOT.  It should take 10 minutes.

I have two form 3's I'm waiting on, one from February and one from March. Anyone else notice that form 3 times have taken a serious shit?

I would personally want to call and check on these.  My NFA wait times are always on the high side and I just got back 3 form 3's in May to my dealer that were submitted late March.

54 days to be exact.

Either the place my dealer ordered from does not have it in stock or they never filed the form 3... because I placed my order back at the end of January and was told it was in stock. It's still not here yet... wtf? I've checked in with my dealer just the other week and he says his distributor sent the forms in and all we can do is wait.

I ordered a Gemtech Mist-22 from Capitol Armory on Memorial Day (5/25.)  I received shipment notification yesterday (6/12.)  Lightning fast.






Still waiting on a KAC can purchased on 5/3.  Not sure when the form 3 was filed.
