Suppressor wait times

[twall13]

I just jumped in again, I like seeing the quick turnaround on some of these lately but I know with my luck I need to count on at least 10 months. We'll see how it goes.

I bought my first (2) on November 17th from a local gun store. They took my pic, fingerprints and did all the paperwork online while I was there and the whole process took about an hour. I did not do a trust. I didn't have any plan to loan my suppressors out and can still will them to my son. I picked up both suppressors yesterday. 88 days from purchase to approval and picked up on the 89th day.

I just don’t see the purpose of not using a trust, honestly. I plan to let my girls hunt with mine independently of me being present. And if I dropped dead today, at least my wife could handle them until it all got sorted out.

But I do get your point.

Damn you all with the fast approvals giving me false hope. After my last approval took ~9 months I was planning on forgetting about my Dec submission until later this year, but now I'm checking my email with anticipation...

(I am happy for you, but knowing my luck it'll be a while for mine)

I had a buddy submit at the end of OCT, and it was approved in early Feb.
Form 4 - Individual - eFile.

My dad and I both just 80 day (roughy) approvals. Submitted about a week apart, his was local dealer, mine was capitol armory

I contacted my rep to ask the ATF on my behalf what’s the hold up. ATF responded with a boiler plate response, but my form was approved 7 days later. All of my other cans have taken at least 300 days.

Are you contacting the state representative? I’ve seen this a few times and was curious.

Ordered my Scythe TI on 12/9
Didn't get my eform 4 certified and sent in until 1/17.
I live over an hour from the store I ordered at and I've got a pretty busy life so there wasn't a lot of room to just make a trip to sign. The first time I did make a special trip there was an issue with submitting the form and I had to make another special trip weeks later. Even with all that, still got approved today.

I am a bit flabbergasted and feel like it's some kind of a setup, but I submitted my electronic paperwork on Friday, February 16th and received approval to pick up my can today, Wednesday, February 21st. Monday was a holiday of course, so it took 2 whole business days.

My FFL asked if I know people in high places, but I definitely do not. Has anyone ever seen this quick of a turnaround?

The reddit mega thread has had a number of crazy short times like yours. Psyched for all you all, but sucks sitting here at 200+.

Thats how long it should take but you are definitely the anomaly.

Technically the only reason it should take 2 days is because that’s how long it takes the Amazon guy to drop it off on your porch. But I digress.

I just got one back in 100 days.

When I was filling out my paperwork on Friday with the FFL, we both agreed that it should be easier to buy a suppressor, and thereby protect one's hearing, than it is to buy a gun. Not saying that guns should be harder to purchase, but suppressors shouldn't be so hard.

The sad part is that the silencer companies probably want them to remain regulated so they can keep their prices higher. Have you seen the cost of silencers in countries where they are legal or even encouraged? They are very affordable.

For sure. It's a piece of pipe with some washers inside. ACE hardware could be selling them for $29.95 after the discount coupon!

Had a buddy certify in October, just got approved monday. Was thinking to myself that is freaky fast until I saw some of these approvals. My last one was 227 days.

I emailed NICS on thursday got a response friday that my transaction had been resolved and submitted to the atf. I called the atf today and all they would tell me was it was pending. I contacted my US rep's office today and got a call from them within minutes and then an email after that stating a congressional inquiry on my behalf had been submitted to the atf. So we'll see. I'm closing in on 6 months waiting which I know isn't close to the longest, but I'm pretty tired of seeing all these very quick turn arounds.

FYI, I was on hold with the atf for 15-20 minutes. The guy who answered was friendly, but pretty unhelpful. Not blaming him personally, just stating my experience.
