Atf suppressor wait time?

Check was cashed December 15 2015. As of today still nothing. Form 4 paper trust. This typical?

120 days usually

I'm in the same boat as you. I mailed a check before Christmas and still no update on status as of yet.

Sort by paper form & submission type.. (E-filings are quicker..)

I'm past 180 days. Hopefully in the next couple weeks. I'm ready to play damn it!

Did mine end of March. Was cashed the 29th I believe. Buddy's took 115 days to get this year

Mine took 160 days last summer.

I'm sure they are very backlogged right now with everyone trying to get their NFA paperwork in before 41F takes effect in July.

I am waiting on an form 4 on an Optimus and a SBR form 1...

took 10 weeks just to get my Form 3 back so I could transfer one from Colorado to Texas dealer. Now I'm waiting on Form 4. Times are backed up and I don't expect to see it in time for deer season.

I must not be paying attention. What happens in July and what is 41F? I've been thinking of dipping my toe in the suppressor waters.

Basically rule change for trusts. Google 41F and you will see what the changes reflect.

GETTING WORSE AND WORSE

So I have to submit a photo and finger print cards. Sounds like an application for a CHL don't you think?

I bought one through the Silencer Shop last april. The check was cashed with in 10 days and the wait time was 110 days. Going to start the process all over again on another one saturday. As long as I get it by mid Dec all will good.

Some good info on it

I just read this. Looks like it's actually going to be all that terrible with this new App thing.
Looks like SilencerShop has our backs despite hating Texans and making them use a local dealer instead of going directly through them.

Just bought a Gemtech Tracker a couple of weeks ago and I sure prefer having it come to a local dealer, saves me a drive to Austin. Whats not to like about that? Doesn't sound like they are hating on anyone...

Sent mine in August, 2015 did not get my suppressor until March, 2016. If what I was told they are way behind and it also depends who does the processing.
Some are quicker than others.

If you have a CHL after your form 4 clears they are able to send it to your house. They use to do that but they changed their policy. Places like Capitol Armory will still ship it right you. This keeps you from having to wait on a form 3 and paying a transfer fee at a local dealer. That's my main problem with them.

No transfer fee at the dealer I selected, nor is there a Form 3 wait that I am aware of. The item is Form 4'd by silencer shop at the time of purchase, but it shows the name of the receiving dealer not silencershop.

Please elaborate as I am interested how Silencer Shop Form 4's a suppressor that is at another dealers shop...... Must be some kind of new Unicorn nut dust they are using these days.

It's already factored into the price you paid.



Only if the item is in stock and on a From 3 at SS.

My understanding is they file the Form 4 paperwork before the Form 3 paperwork is approved hoping that the Form 3 will clear before they get to the Form 4.

How do you Form 4 a suppressor(if you are Silencer Shop) and put another dealers name on the FORM 4 and file it? That is the question to the above tactic? If a dealer files a Form 3 it is frowned upon by the BATFE to do a FORM 4 and file that before the Form 3 is approved. IT happens yes....but is very much frowned upon by the BATFE......

On the last suppressor I ordered from Silencer Shop, the Form 3 was filed on 3-1-2016 and the Form 4 was filed on 4-4-2016. The Form 3 was disposed on 5-16-16 I would assume that Silencer Shop waited on the Form 3 to be approved then filed the Form 4 for the dealer that I will be picking up the suppressor from.

Check cashed 12/15/15
Stamp approved 6/01/16
On a trust

Dealer called me Tuesday and said that my suppressor was still listed as pending....

I purchased the can and like previous SilencerShop purchases you receive a scan of your Form 4 the next day, however with the new system the Form 4 filed is from the dealer I selected not SS. I assume they are preparing it for the receiving dealer and submitting with a Form 3, Who knows what kind of variance SS has. They have been successful in getting variances in the past.

FWIW I paid no additional dealer fee, can was $459 and I just had to select a receiving dealer with the same $459 price, most were a bit higher.

They are doing something in order to make the time frame guarantees that they are currently advertising, they would have submit both forms at one time to guarantee purchases made via the website on 7/8/16 to be processed prior to 7/13/2016 (41p) submission of Form 4. There is no other way, a Form 3 isn't going to get processed in 5 days. They have to be doing something to get item on a Form 4 at a different SOT in a manner of a few days.

Don't know what else to tell you guys except thats they way they are doing it now. Buy one and see for yourself!

Filed Form 4 (Trust) for a SiCo Omega ~Jan 18, stamp returned Saturday 6/4, picked up 6/5 (Money order for the ATF, no idea when they "cashed" it)

That is good news bside, I filed on my second Omega Jan 15th, so it should be getting pretty close.

Need to order another Omega this month.

I filed on a Specwar 556 K last month when SiCo had the SPEQ program opened up to veterans. That makes 5 for me, and my son has a Sandman TI in the works as well. I am probably done unless I pick up another 22 RF can.

Gents, if you create a trust and E-file it will cut the time in half or less.

You can't Efile a form 4 right now.

I just did mine a few weeks ago. Guess I'm in for a long wait.

Three Form 4s returned yesterday...exactly 5 months and 1 day!

Ordered my suppressor from a local shop on April 28th. Still waiting on form 3 and the suppressor to show its face at the dealer so I can do the form 4.
