Jan 1 chaos

[TradLife406]

Any speculation on how bad things will be come next year to get a can? Think it'll take six months to get a can possessed?

Kind of tempted to just buy one right now and pay the tax to make sure I'll have it for next season and time to play with it before hand. I "need" a can anyways.

Has to be thousands of cans the atf will have to process plus SBRs. Has me a little worried.

I’d make that decision quick. It takes time to get in what you want via form 3, and the wave will start before Jan 1.

If you don’t have a suppressor, besides paying 200$ it has never been faster or easier than it is right now. Ever.

My guess is the system crashes completely on the 1st. Couple days later they’re processing at the current reasonable (for the feds) pace and $0 submissions take 6 weeks at the peak of the madness. Quickly returns to being measured in day. That being said, I did pay for a stamp last month to get a 300 blk up and running.

Silencer Shop was running a promotion to buy and reserve your suppressor now, but delay the transfer until Jan 1 so you don't have to pay the tax stamp. I'm not sure if they are still doing that, but that is how I purchased my OCL Hydrogen S to ensure that I would get one before they potentially sold out or went up in price due to demand. I wasn't in a rush to get it for this hunting season, so I was fine with waiting. Less than a month until I can pick it up!

I just had an OG 6.5 clear today. Hopefully it's not a complete clusterF but i dont want to wait and see.

Definitely looking at moving cans to a trust and SBR'ing a lower or 2 once it's free.

I was skimming through some info while I was busy the other day. I saw it mentioned that the atf plans to change some paperwork starting in Jan also and the stuff pending would have to be resubmitted under the new paperwork? Anybody seen anything about this or was this just some guys speculation?

They talked about this here. Said seeing price increases due to supply and demand. I bought now.

That’s if you get approved quickly…

If you are ready to go and there's something in stock at your local shop should be no problem getting through by the end of the year, or week for that matter.

With the Christmas holiday coming, it's a gamble to have a suppressor form 3 from a vendor, and ship in time to your local shop.

Form 3's are still going quick at the moment.
I submitted one Saturday around noon and it was approved by 5 am Monday morning.

Yeah going to order a UM Reaper today or tomorrow (when the paycheck hits the bank). Then next spring I'll probably order a couple more cans without a stamp.

Suppressors are just too much fun. Only have five right now and need another four atleast

What did you end up getting?
I built a SBR on a shield arms folder. It's my discrete backpack gun for church. Want to go to a 5" barrel with a can and have it still fit folded in the bag. Load up some black hills TMK supers.

Submitted last Friday for my OG65, now I’m checking my email every hour for my approval. I don’t know what Jan 1st will look like but I didn’t want to risk finding myself back in the 9 month waiting days. That sucked.
