Form 1 wait time

[DT556]

I didn't see any thread like this, so I'll start it. I just mailed out my Form 1 yesterday (3/15/17). I'll update it once they charge my card then once I get it back to give you guys an idea on how long the process is currently taking. Wish me luck, I hope it comes back soon.

I submitted a Form 1 on June 23rd 2016... it was just approved on March 7th. Oddly enough, I submitted a second one on June 24th, and it has yet to be approved.

Update: My CC was charged this morning. Only took 6 days from the day I mailed it.

Called the ATF NFA branch today and got word that my Form 4 had been approved. Still need my stamp to be sent to my dealer and then pick it up but the greatest hurdle for this suppressor has finally been passed. I edited my previous post to reflect this change.

This form 4 was for a .22 Dead Air Mask.

Individual or Trust?

I have heard trust approvals are lagging far behind individual form 4's by a lot. It seems trust approvals are coming in from September 2016 while individual approvals are coming in from February & March of 2017.

My check cashed date for my last suppressor was 10/5/17. It will be the last suppressor I buy for a very long time. I'm stopping at 1 dedicated rimfire can, 1 dedicated rifle, and 1 dedicated centerfire pistol suppressor and calling that itch scratched.

Well that stinks. The ATF slow walk when it comes to form 4/form 1 approvals is incredibly lame. They had a built in excuse of Pre 41P rush of submissions causing a 1 year wait time for approvals.

We are getting close to 1.5 years post 41P, with a significant decrease in suppressor sales and they still seem to be taking forever to approve form 1's/form 4's.

Yeah it does. You wanna know what the real kick in the balls is? I know my form 4 will be returned for correction, back in May I got a call from the dealer saying my finger print cards were returned with someone else's denied paperwork.

I bet it has already been assigned to an examiner. May be worth the effort to call them and see if you can speak directly to the examiner going through your submission.
