Form 4 trust just came back approved after 56 days. Hopefully the other two I submitted the same day get approved soon as well. Definitely an improvement.
I want to submit some more now. |

Um, I finally decided to get a dedicated 5.56 can (Otter Creek Labs Polonium) to see if "short" approval times were really a thing.
E-filed form 4 individual last Thursday. Picked up the can Tuesday. So, 6 days for me. |

04/15/24 & counting.
F4, trust, 1 RP, through Capitol Armory. My 1st NFA item so not sure if that's the part of the delay. Update: Got approved 09/16, so 5 months & a day for me. And of course I just submitted my 2nd F4 the week before so no batch approval for me. |

E-Form 4 Trust, 2 RP. Submitted May 31 approved 9/3.
95 days. I submitted another one on 7/29. I was hoping they'd get approved together. I've seen reports of having multiple approved within a couple days so I'm still crossing my fingers. |

im not sure how this thread made it to 11 pages. i remember tracking threads always getting locked (outside of that one sticky). FWIW, i (personally) had a 2 batch single shot trust approval 3 weeks ago. Something like 58 and 23 days total. my last ones were at 4 months.
im also noticing that the ATF is batching super weird. they will either: -batch all of your items immediately after one another, with a 0-4 minute delay between approvals OR -they approve something of yours (one item), and then you get another approval 24 hours later. its so odd. i think ive learned to try to stop following it so closely and just live with it. not gonna find any rhyme or reason. |

Maybe I got my hopes up too much, but I applied an individual form for a suppressor on August 22nd. Still no word back. I guess that's technically only 7 business days so far, so maybe I expected too much. I'm not waiting around 150 days or any nonsense like that before I call. If I don't hear anything by next Friday (9/13), I'm going to be emailing or calling and asking what's taking so long. So much for the e file being super fast.

The problem was my own fault, I forgot to give some info to the dealer, so it hasn't even been submitted yet. Hopefully it will be submitted tomorrow, and approved before the end of the month. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Aimless: I like Capitol armory but the delay as they do the Cleo mail thing is kind of a pia. I bought a silencer from a local place and got it faster, although they have a delay for you to get an appointment to come in and meet with their compliance clerks who do the paperwork. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Aimless: Originally Posted By watertower: My form 4 trust approval came through today, 112 calendar days. Now for the formalities required for Capitol Armory to ship it to me. After 112 days of torture waiting for my first NFA item to be approved, this extra 3 weeks isn’t a big deal to me. At least now things should go quickly and there will be progress updates. |

“Please note that the current processing times are 145 business days for electronic Form 4s with a Trust. This application has been pending for 91 days. Please know that the times listed are average processing times. Some applications may take longer due to many factors.” Don’t think they’re gonna be any help with this one |
