Suppressor wait times

[wesfromky]

Just certified two via Silencer Shop E-Foms today, 3 weeks after paying for the first one, and two weeks for the 2nd. Now to pick a .30 cal can...

Two links that might be worth watching:
According to this, median time for eforms is currently 110 days.

These ATF wait times are based on recent approvals. Whether you're looking for suppressor wait times or an SBR tax stamp wait time, see what time frames are looking like now!

Seems pretty close to what they are seeing here, though maybe running a few days longer.

The silencershop link seems to imply the longest wait has been 117 days. This is 121 for me.

The longest that has been approved so far. I believe that is only for their customers, and based on actually approved. So, as people are approved at longer times, the median and longest wait will move up.

About 6 weeks ago I was told to start expecting mine sometime in may as that was about 13-14 months. Well may is about done. I’m not sure why the people on the ones say stuff like that.

Yep, just realized that, got all excited, thought I was seeing something new. The wait continues...

Keep an eye on your junk mail folder. Although I received all emails from ATF prior to and at time of certification, my approval emails were both sent to my junk mail.

Some possibly good info for those military folks.

If you work through your dealer and provide a copy of your PCS orders, ATF expedites the form4.

I’ve been waiting nearly a year and was leaving in two weeks. Dealer emailed the paperwork and ATF approved it next day. Stamp in hand about a week later.

Dealer said many military use the PCS as a good excuse to stock up on cans with min wait time.

Hope that helps someone.

Sorry for those that can’t take advantage.

Don't apologize you earned it, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

I got my approval email today and did the requested 4473 for it. Almost exactly 14 months.

Got my Ultra5 last Friday. Certified Feb 1st. 116 days for approval. Much better than waiting a year and my previous was 10 months.

I’m over 90 day mark. Still waiting

 

[Flyjunky]

I was approved May 28th, a touch over 13 months for me.

So they email when your approved? I was thinking a call

Paper form = paper letter
E-form = e-mail

 

[OneSkinnyHunter]

Just got my approval today- filed on March 11th. It was actually a lot faster than I thought it would be.

Gotcha. Hopefully it didn’t go in my junk email and I missed it

 

[NDGuy]

Seems like 120ish days for the eform is the standard so far

I e-filed in April 2022, just picked mine up.

 

[archp625]

I'm at 303 days for a SiCo Omega from SilencerShop, not that I am counting.

Nice. I did one 4/11 and another 4/27. Hopeful that maybe soon! But I’m not holding my breath.

One year and 3 weeks since my check was cashed.
