Trustees have to get background check and fingerprints at time of apppication for a suppressor.

However, lots of people apply as an individual trust, then add trustees after they get their suppressor. In this case, no background check or finger prints are required.
My wife is the only one on my trust, she’s never had to provide fingerprints or anything like that. I just got my scythe approved and added to my trust this morning.

They are inconsistent on this. I have multiple nfa items on the same trust, I am the trustee and she is the successor trustee. Two approvals did not require her to submit fingerprints, but I had several rejected after my approvals as she had not submitted prints. I had to resubmit with her prints, they were then approved 6 months later.

I’ll count myself lucky then. I doubt I’ll be buying more silencers anytime soon since I have 5 of them.

And unfortunately silencer shop doesn't have their crap together. Their software for finalizing individual form 4s is down. It's taking weeks to even get your form 4 submitted to the ATF. The ATF is not the issue anymore.
Bought can from LGS through the silencer shop portal on 12/6 and silencer shop’s expert service finally got my paperwork submitted to the feds on 2/13. This one was a trust submission and I hope to get it by hunting season, but I doubt it.

Since this submission my LGS has started doing their own submissions. Bought another can from them filing as an individual on 5/3. ATF had my paperwork at 14:44 on 5/3. I received approval on 5/8 at 08:33.

First time ordering through SilencerShop. Form 3 was approved 5/20, but there hasn't been any new info and the LGS where I'm doing transfer through hasn't received suppressor yet. Is this a normal amount of time to wait? And I'm correct in that I can't move forward with the process until they receive the can?

I ordered 2 Checkmates from Griffin Armament directly with their To Your Door program promotion that had a discount code on Tuesday 5/7.

They arrived to my door today on 6/5.

29 days...to South Carolina.

I ordered an in stock one 5/27 from Silencer shop, shipping info says due to arrive at dealer 6/5. As far as I know they need to receive it before you move forward, verify serial number etc.

New trust set up and applied for 2 .30 cal suppressors.

January 14 applied through Silencer Shop.

1st approval was May 17 and second was today.

I’m sorry I put it off so long.
