I ordered from SilencerShop on Nov 26, picked it up from gun shop on Dec 15. That includes fingerprints, form 3, shipping to FFL, Form 4 approval, etc. The actual Form 4 wait on ATF approval was 3 days I believe.

This is my first silencer and I used trust.

How long did it take to get shipped to your LGS from SilencerShop? Ordered one last Tuesday through them and just curious.

That’s was the longest step. 7 or 8 days from when the form 3 approval to ship and when ffl notified me it was time to certify.

Edit: it was actually 15 days from when I signed documents until it was time to certify the Form 4. Signatures complete on 11/27, Form 4 ready to submit on Dec 11

Nov 26. Make purchase
Nov 27. Fingerprints via kiosk and sign docs
Dec 11. Form 4 ready to certify. Was certified that day.
Dec 15. ATF approved and I picked up suppressor

Thank you! That’s what I was figuring from what I’ve seen online. Usually buy from my LGS, but they’ve been sold out and decided to give SS a try.

I can’t seem to find the breakdown like you have but unfortunately I’m still pending. It was ordered on 11/8 and they were in stock I’ll have to see when I certified

Certified on 12/4 judging by others it should be soon but who knows

That’s how it was for me on my last one… everyone was getting them back in 2-3 days, mine ended up being 19.

I may end up picking up another can this weekend, so hopefully it’ll be a quick approval this time.

For me it took longer to get the Silencer to my local FFL. Once I submitted to atf I got my approval 7 days. On a family trust.
