Suppressor wait times

[Tahoe1305]

I’m not disagreeing, but it does bother the hell out of me that they take your $200 up front and hold your stamp hostage for 2-15 months (because who tf knows when you’ll get your approval), yet they refuse to give status updates when you are over their advertised avg wait time.

Yup. It sucks. But from my personal experience the times are half to one third what they were on my first can about a decade ago. They “system” has gotten better.…whether we like the system or not.

My 2nd daughter was born yesterday and my 2nd can was approved this morning 11/7/23. Initially certified on 5/24/23. Not really a lotto guy but maybe I should go get one of those!

Bro. Comparing child birth and can approvals….you may want to see someone for that .

Totally agree. It’s way harder to get an approval.

Totally agree. It’s way harder to get an approval.

Or takes longer sometimes at least…..

The question we should be pushing is if you already have an nfa item, why should there be any wait? You have already provided fingerprint, photo, etc. The atf knows where you are and what you own, so if you become a prohibited person, I assume they will come get your nfa item. Just like how my ccw works. You get approved and it’s good for 5 years or until revoked.

so they could 1) want the process to be so complicated no one uses it. Slowing ownership of nfa items or 2) have no method of following up on people who become prohibited persons, or 3) have no desire to actually fix the system, or 4) are incompetent and don’t even know it’s an issue, or some combination of above issues.

That gives me hope. I certified for my current one on June 6th.

Recall Checker

Check if your suppressor is part of a SilencerCo recall. We will fix it and send it back quickly, and at no cost to you. We got you covered.

silencerco.com

Silencerco recall on some suppressors built this year from June 1 - Oct 9th. If you have a recent model, worth checking the number.

Silencer Shop purchase using on of their premier dealers in my area.

My only complaint on this one is that I purchased the suppressor on May 8th. It took 9 days for the Form 3 transfer to the dealer, which is normal. But then it took until the 6th of June to finally certify. They blamed the SS software, but we were at the certification stage pretty quickly but it took another 2 weeks to actually certify, I had to drive over there three times to ”remind” them that we needed to do it. The final time, I brought my computer with me and basically told them I wasn’t leaving until we did the deed. That is completely a dealer issue, not a SC issue. I just need to find another dealer for my next one.

Just jumped back in the ATF line. They are saying they are currently getting through 11/22-2/23. I hope they are wrong.

Based on the above replies they are doing better.
