Suppressor wait times

[Lawnboi]

Don't risk ruining the Optimus Micro with 22LR. 22LR ammo is very dirty and will impact its performance.

Since you have the Resistance 22LR, there is no reason to.

The optimus micro is a take apart can and perfectly suited to shooting 22lr through.

Can we start clarifying submitted vs certified dates, depending on purchase process, they are not the same, can be almost a month apart. Wait times don't start until certified.

This was my confusion when I started the process

Is there some reason you don't want to your the 22LR can you have?

The optimus micro is a 22 cal can intended mainly for rimfire.

Sorry, I misread this line to mean it was a 223 can.

"Optimus Micro is intended to be an inexpensive, lightweight, direct thread .223 hunting suppressor that would provide the option for 22LR being a takedown."

I read that to mean it was a CF can which could also shoot 22LR while the other one was 22LR only.

It’s a unique suppressor in that it’s a rimfire can that can safely be used on 223. It’s a neat little suppressor, I like mine.

Well I've been waiting since Sept with my status SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS in an email from the ATF. The dealer said that's as far as we can get, and my wait time started that date. What do you mean by certified?

Both of mine averaged 12 or 13 months back in 2021 and 2022. Can only imagine it's gone up

The certification happens when you and your dealer go onto the ATF eforms website and submit the paperwork. In almost all cases the certification date and the submitted date are the same.

The date that matters is the date in the email that you get from the ATF that gives you the status of "Submitted/In Process".

Understandable. I was stating my intended use, not the manufacturer's intent.

My TBAC 22 Takedown took 11 months for a individual paper form 4. Paid 2/22 and stamp received 1/23. I’ve got a Nomad 30 that I’m currently waiting for. E filed single shot trust 2/23.

 

[Schism]

I'm still waiting on an E-file submitted 6/27/22 via Silencer Shop single shot trust. I'm hoping approval will be soon.

 

[colby12]

2 cans E file submitted and received 14 July 22. First approved 12 April 23, second still waiting. This was done with silencer central with a purchase date 2 weeks before.

Looks like they are cranking through the forms right now. Average wait times have come down a lot in the past few weeks.

 

[Lawnboi]

Looks like Individual forms are speeding up for sure. Come one! Certified my magnus on 1/31. Sure would be nice.

I certified one suppressor on 02/10 and another on 04/03. Just for fun, I checked how far apart those application numbers are, and they're 176,455 apart. Anyone know the application numbers are directly linear (i.e., the numbers go up by 1 each application)?

Control numbers are issued for every atf form from the same pool, and only have very general prediction power in approval times. The /r/nfa mega thread is good to follow to get a feel of how jacked up the whole process is.

That be good news!
