Abolish the AFT. Sorry for your wait, In IL I can’t even have a suppressor.

Seems like lots of people just started buying silencers. When I ordered my first 2 I was told 5 months, then 7 months and in the end it took almost exactly 14 months. Now they have the efile but even that seems to be slowing down as it’s made it more and more appealing to folks. I just ordered 2 more and they are being ordered so they don’t even have serial #s yet meaning my paperwork isn’t even started. It’s all good as I have a few silencers to play with while I wait but I am interested to see if I can order and have them in my hands within a year.

The government process is ridiculous and likely to never disappear. So it is what it is at this point.

Bought form SC March 22.
Efile completed and submitted 4/11/22.
Approved 12/30/22 and 1/1/23. 262 and 264 days.

Holidays slowing down getting paperwork done. But I have realistic expectation and don’t expect people to work 24/7. Hopefully have them in my hands in a few weeks.
