I'm not 100% sure what I'll do. Don't really want to spend 600 to put them in a trust. On the flip side the only thing I really care about is that my sons can use them too and what happens to all of my NFA stuff if I were to die tomorrow.
This is exactly what the ATF wants. They lured you in with short wait times knowing full well that most will be adding to trusts later so they can double charge them. The ATF found a brilliant way to high hole folks.

They think I care about arbitray laws way more than I do!

First 3 this year were between 2-4 days but my last 2 found they way into the backlog I'm guessing because it took nearly 2 weeks.

Anyone know of a Scythe Ti in-stock for purchase? I haven't seen them in-stock on any of the big sites or locally for a copule months now that I'm finally ready to buy one.

Does anyone know if it typically takes longer for a first time suppressor buyers individual form to go through? I bought one from Scheels, and they said they've been seeing turnaround times of 2 to 3 days, but I'm at a week now so I was wondering if it might take a little longer for mine since it's the first one I've done

Theoretically it shouldn't matter

No, it doesn’t matter. They have automated the process and provided your background goes through quickly it’s a quick approval. If you do a trust or your name is common, then the background check is the delay.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm on the North end of Denver but the Scheels up in Johnstown said they have 6 in-stock. I just put one on hold and will go up to do the paperwork this week.

I certified the same day for efile form 4 but in a trust.
Feels like sitting in a blind and hearing the bugle come my way. Trying not to get to excited.

Friday, July 5th sitting in my office thinking: today sucks 'cause everyone is off but me.

Phone Rings... "This is LGS, we just got the notification that you are approved. You can come get your can."

Today is awesome!

The only ( as in ONLY) reason times may be getting shorter is because for some reason, unbeknownst to me,
the ATF expects the fee will not be required in the near future.
Did I call it?
(The video title is misleading but at least it's being considered)

I am in the queue for another one. Just bought another Harvester EVO from Capitol Armory. They have them on sale for $499. I am in no hurry for it, but if I get approved in 2-3 months and it takes another month to ship it to me, that puts right were I used to be when I first got into the suppressor game (2012).
