Suppressor wait times getting faster

[omicron1792]

They must have different groups of people working on different months the e-forms were submitted. That is absolutely stupid. Why not have everyone working on the oldest first.

It seems like the majority of the faster approvals are filed as individual. Trusts are taking much longer on average.

I filed an individual Form 4 on 2/1/24 and it was approved on 2/20/24. Just submitted another Form 4 on 2/21/24 that I am expecting to runs its normal duration on. When I picked up my suppressor yesterday there was a host of other folks that all recently got their Form 4 approved so maybe something is improving.

Can a person do a trust after the fact or does it have to be done at the time of the purchase and filing of the form 4?

You can transfer from individual to a trust, but you have to pay for another $200 stamp for each NFA item.

It's another $200 stamp I believe.

You will get an email from the ATF with your pdf of your eForm4. You should’ve also got one when it was first submitted saying “pending”. It’ll be from [email protected]

Mine says " Submitted/in process"

That means your wait has begun. Its sitting on someone's desk..... you will get one that says "approved" when your good to go.

Yes i know. I was replying to fever's post that said "pending"

Aww I see sorry. Well good luck on your wait, hopefully it's a short one

Yep. Good correction. Should’ve verified the exact wording before posting. Especially since I used quotations.

No worries, I didn't know if they used different wording and wanted others reading this to have some clarity on an otherwise murky process.

Has anyone been able to get an explanation of WTF is going on with approval times? I’m happy for everyone getting these quick approvals, but as someone waiting … WTF?!

 

[WKR]

Does anyone know what happens if you have a change of address during the wait period?

If so what is the recommended course of action that won't slow anything down?

Just got mine last week. 118days

Are any of these shortened wait times using a trust? I would almost get another can if I thought I could speed up the process.

The reddit mega thread has had a number of crazy short times like yours. Psyched for all you all, but sucks sitting here at 200+.

The reddit link above was posted on another thread. I scanned through several of the posts and some of the short wait periods are with a trust. Looks like majority of short wait periods are individual though.

So if I already have a trust for two suppressors and I buy another as an individual now. Will I still have to pay the extra $200 to add the new can to the already existing trust?

That's what it appears. I'm thinking of getting a can and going the individual route so I can maybe use it for spring bear than do a trust later. Yes, I could save the 200, but I'm impatient with getting new toys.

I’m in the same boat. Think I’ll be doing the individual purchase soon.
