Suppressor wait times

I just purchased my 3rd an Otter Creek Labs Polonium 30 literally 36 hrs an 15 minutes from my atf submitted email to my APPROVED email! I must be on a watch list lol
What are your thoughts on the Polonium? What are you shooting with it? In relation to your other cans what do you think?
 
First of the two cans I ordered (raptor 6 7.62) hit my local dealer yesterday, hopefully SS will get their part done Monday. Hoping the quick turnaround will have it in my hands after my next work hit hitch. Second (raptor 8 338) will probably be January or more.

Trust submitted around noon Friday 12/6 and approved 5:30am Tuesday 12/10. I was hesitant to buy a can because I assumed it would be a hassle but it was super fast and easy.
 
Single shot trust was just approved 2.5 weeks after certifying. Beats 7 months like the last one I bought.

SS trust

The last one took six months and getting my representative involved
 
I’d have to look back at paperwork for June Scheels purchase scythe- Tuesday paperwork filled out approved Wednesday and picked up thursday

Next was an a-10 7.62 in September ss trust that took one week mainly was a delay on silencer shop
 
I bought a dead air mask last Thursday and picked it up today! Bought a Scythe Ti Sunday hope same time line on it.
 
Two of my last three have been 9 days. The third was 6 days. All with a traditional trust and through Silencer Shop.
 
Certified on the 9th at 1100
Approved on the 16th at 1738

Traditional trust. Took longer for SilencerShop and local dealer to be ready to certify.

I just bought my first silencer through Silencershop. What is the timeline from the time you Docusign with silencershop before the local dealer had your can and you could submit to atf.

I honestly expected faster. My only experience has been with Silencer central. At this point SC wins for time from bought to submitted to ATF.

About 2 weeks. One before that was 3 weeks.

Silencer Shop has relatively slow shipping. If a dealer has a few customer assigned silencers in their inventory, they will bundle what makes sense to them to ship. It can take about the same amount of time as just one in customer assigned silencer. Other distributors and manufacturers get silencers out the door much faster. However, they don't all have a dealer & consumer ecosystem. I have one manufacturer that will ship the same or next business day after the Form 3 is approved.
 
3 suppressors in the last two months. Filed E-Forms individual. First one took 72 hours. Second one took 48 hours. Third one I picked up last night, 22 hours.

I’m amazed by how fast the forms come back now. My first couple NFA items were 10-15 years ago and a couple of them took 13 months. Luckily I was working at the shop so I could play with them while I was waiting on approval.
 
Purchased online Silencer Shop 11/22 with single shot trust.
At the Dealer 12/6
Ready to Certify 12/9- this took calling silencer shop to find out it was already at the dealer
Certified 12/16
Approved 12/18

ATF times are moving quick but silencer shops inefficiencies and software are starting to bottleneck the process. It’s not so bad I won’t use them again but it’s not great either.

SilencerShop SS trust through a local dealer.

It was about 40 hours from purchase to approval. Probably would have been even faster if I purchased it on a weekday instead of a Sunday.
