Oof 230 is probably the longest I’ve seen yet, doesn’t give me the warm fuzzy.
Yeah, 230 stinks. I’m at 210. That’s not promising. It was 60-70days and now might as well be paper form times. I still do not understand how we can buy a gun instantly but not a can to suppress noise…. Baffling to me
Good luck, just send an email to my senator. My paperform check was cashed 3/18/21, U R Screwed!
Picked up 2 paper form 4s on a trust last week

Efile, SS, 3/9/2022, 216 days since it was certified and still waiting.
When I bought my first suppressor in 2010 it was only a couple of months.

Well the govt hates you more now. So we get to enjoy the wait. I've never been fortunate enough to enjoy a few month wait. First one was in 2016 and it was 11 months on the dot.
That was when we knew all the names of the reviewers and when you called to ask the status you actually could talk to your reviewer. I believe Sandra Snook was the reviewer for that suppressor, oh the good old days.
I had Sara Jones and Jason Bowers in those days. I remember it being 3-4 months at the slowest in those days

Certified 3/4 approved today, 223 days on a Hyperion K for my 6.5cm gas gun.
I have two others certified 3/14 because we couldn’t get silencershops bullshit to work. Hopefully those get approved soon, it’s not really worth picking up 1 of 3 since the shops 1.5 hours one way. I also have a magnus on 5/4 but at this rate I won’t see it for quite a while. So much for batch approvals.

First can--impulse buy. Q Erector 22. Wish I had gone with a Mask now, but <shrug>
Purchased on Independence Day 7/4/2022 and efiled using the Silencershop kiosk thingey on a Single Shot Trust.
Certified 7/12/2022.
so that puts me at......day 96. Everything I'm reading says that I'll be lucky to see it by Christmas.
The ONLY reason I bought the can is because the salesman, Silencershop kiosk, and the ATF website were all saying '90 days'. I figured 3 months was a reasonable amount of time.
I should have bought a lathe and done a form 1 instead.

That’s the problem, you expected reason from the federal government.
Not exactly. I'm retired military, have dealt with the VA, been audited by the IRS, worked for DOJ, and I'm currently a contractor with another .gov agency.
I know firsthand that everything the .gov touches is going to be a clusterfuck. The only question is how big the clusterfuck will be......biblical proportions, or just a major inconvenience.
I read that the eforms system was actually working, and then was told by other sources that things really had improved. My problem is that I thought that the sources I got my info from were credible.....and it turned out that they were all just parroting each other.
If I had to guess, we should see an improvement come January/February due to paper forms being basically completely out of the system In terms of backlog. @Silencer Shop do you guys know how many active Eform 4s there are currently?
Does seem like there’s been an emphasis to clear the paper forms out, which I think is 100% the right thing for them to be doing
We are not privy to that information, I can point you to this ATF communication, which states they've experienced unprecedented volumes, seeing up to 32,000 forms in a week. - Chase
We appreciate you trusting us with your first can, @Colt45guy. The Erector being super modular is a really nice feature, and it's incredibly quiet in its full-length config. The ATF released this communication around the time of your purchase, explaining an increase in processing times. - Chase

Received my Ultra 7 today. Just shy of 15 months. (Ordered late July 2021)
Unfortunately they didn't include a mount. Luckily I bought 2 already, but I have 3 rifles I plan on using it on.
Emailed the manufacturer and dealer to see what gives.

Bro, I've got one certified on 5/17, and I'll be lucky if I see IT by Christmas... You might get your's around Feb, at the current time frames.
Also, yeah... The Mask is a better can. Friends don't let friends buy Q.

I ordered a 6th in May, a DA Sierra, the day it was released. Showed in stock at the time of purchase but just looked and still says backordered. WTF.
@Silencer Shop, Can you look into this? Order: 2804763
I’ve seen the same, which is a shame, because I love all my DA cans. I was going to buy one, but that’s the main reason I don’t have a Sierra5 yet. Been waiting on them to address this issue, and announce an updated version.
I can’t wait to get my Polonium 556 in the coming months.
I heard back from my congressman’s staffer.
My 2, certified on 4/7/2022 and 5/26/2022 are still pending. Response from ATF below, with information removed. I’m also having the staffer request a batch approval.
As of 04-07-2022, the application is PENDING. The FBI NICS background check is pending.
As of 05-26-2022, the application is PENDING. The FBI NICS background check is pending.
Not sure if they are waiting for background check or what or if it has even been assigned.
ATF said currently processing Eforms from mid March.

Emailed them and text’d them this weekend, finally heard back from one today. No apologies, no explanations, nothing… so, I canceled.
Now they are saying it will take 5-10 days for refund.
I’ll take a look into the otter creek. I suspect, whatever I buy next, will be through Capital Armory, regardless.
Sorry @Silencer Shop … when someone drops damn near $6k of NFA business your way over the period of 2mo, and there’s no courtesy or notification given when ball is dropped on your end, there’s no more $ coming from my end, we’re breaking up.
Well, that sounds like BS from the ATF. I have a suppressor that I am waiting for that has been in purgatory since the beginning of March. Still waiting on it so I doubt they are in mid March. Also, what takes the FBI so long?? It would appear as though they just purposely "sit" on these?
