Suppressor wait times

[Ucsdryder]

Not yet, I’m just getting excited for the August 2022 ones to start showing up.

My last suppressor I was really good about forgetting about it. This one, not so much. This thing needs to be complete!!

That is awesome, I’d be excited too.

You guys with your April submissions and recent approvals don't give me much optimism for my Jun/July e-files.

Same boat here. Getting ready to start round three of “only 90 day waits.”

Sounds like they lost it. You probably are going to have to start over.

I have several suppressors but those were all paper apps in years past. Bought a TB in October from my gunsmiths shop and it was her first eform. She had to log in and at one point in the app process I had to log in and pay etc. She uploaded my pics and fingerprint file and said it went through and it’s all set. Charged my cc that day. Can I log into my account and check the status or do I need to have my gun shop check for me? I logged in but couldn’t find anything

A couple questions, roughly how long after approval are you actually receiving the suppressor?
And what exactly is the ATF doing to “approve” the apps that is taking so long?
In my mind the approval process shouldn’t be any more complicated than doing a simple background check.

Those are the million dollar questions…

1. Depends. If you buy locally, you can pick it up that day. SC, on the other hand, took an additional 3 1/2 wks to ship my suppressor.
2. NOTHING. They don't care.
3. Absolutely correct. See #2. This is all part of the "agenda" to discourage the ownership of firearms and suppressors.

I figured that I already knew the answer to question 2, but you just solidified it. Thanks

I'm Oct 2022, still waiting.

I got my first one last year, after waiting 1 year and 2 weeks. I follow a NFA reddit thread that's very active. They're currently reporting around 270 day wait times. So 10 months or so. This is up from 9 months when I bought last fall.

I agree with Dave C. This is unnecessary discouragement of lawful ownership. If that $200 stamp had risen with inflation, it would be over $4k today. Blatant over-reach and loop hole of the bill of rights.

In order to get the status of your transfer from the ATF, you can call the NFA Branch directly at (304) 616-4500.

I only tried calling once. It was a 45 min hold, and they can only tell you if it's pending or approved (assuming you're past the check cashing stage). And the approval over the phone is potentially two weeks ahead of the letter to your FFL. So, there's not much point in calling, unless you're concerned there's a complication.

I called earlier today to see what they had to say since I'm at 290 days today. Lady on the phone said that "it was received 4/15/2022 and that it is pending." Phone call took 6m35s

Just received my approval email
3 hours ago. Submitted 4/10/22. I purchased 3 at that time. So I’m still waiting on 2 more approvals….
