Haha, I was sensing that vibe whilst scrolling through this thread.
i’m with you on this. but then again they have posted 7 day approvals in the past without telling the whole story. they just left out the part about the dealer going out of business. not exactly a lie, but omission of all the facts is not quite being totally truthful in their marketing. i bought two from them that were certified on 3/17 and because of their marketing practices i wont be doing business with them in the future.
Totally hear you LSU, the tracker does not indicate .5 of a month, so it will show 7. I will make a suggestion to our team to confront this. - Chase
It showed "days" until the average hit 180.
Just go back to that. They probably just need to comment out an if statement
My second one from March 14th just got approved so recently I’ve had 223, 232 and 233 days. Now I just have the one from May 4th.
march 14th, that’s good to hear. and congrats on getting yours. i’m 3 days behind you at 3/17.
if you don’t mind, what was your control numbers?
Thanks. In order from March 4th to the 14th and shortest to longest wait.

thanks i appreciate the info. both my control numbers are in the 349,000 about 80 apart. just trying to get an estimate of how much longer until i get my approval. knowing the atf as well as i do, it’ll probably be december. lol
yes sir, i believe you are correct. there seems to be no rhyme, reason or even common sense for the entire process. just because of my curious and logical nature i’ve gone over lots of control numbers, approval dates and even examiner names to try and deduce what, if any pattern exists within how the atf is processing the applications. i can’t find any logical or rational trains of thought anywhere. but they may be my problem, i’m trying to use logic where it doesn’t exist. lol.
i’ve even seen some 3/18 and 3/19 approvals over on the reddit mega thread over the last week or so.
oh well, no matter what i do or think, it’s still just a hurry up and wait game.
On your confirmation email if you did an eform. Probably have to get ahold of atf or ffl for the number if paper form.
Thanks Sam.
Well, shit… sounds like I’m a long ways away. Looks like these are individual control numbers (per NFA Item). I purchased 5 over the span of April/May 2022, and all my numbers are between the range of:
2022553541
To
2022553592
So, even though I certified all in May, I got all 5 control numbers on 6/8 from ATF eforms email. Is this my actual “start date” instead of certified dates in May?
If control numbers are relevant, then it looks like I’ve got 215000 approvals ahead of mine.
If we assume an average of 950 approvals/day (going rate according to the control numbers recents posted above) that means I’ve got about 226 more days to go if they don’t speed anything up. So, May 2023. Right at a year. FML.
Might just have to buy a little lathe and crank out some Form1s while I wait!
if, and when i ever get one or both of mine approved i will post all info in this thread. to include, control number, certified date, approval date, days waited and examiner name.
Please also include moon phase, time of day, vitals, and favorite color so we can try and extrapolate even more.
235 is the new 90
Just wait and see how thrilled people will be at 300 days

As many know, getting approved isn't the end:
Check cashed 10/8/21
Broke down and called 10/28/22, was approved 9/14/22
Dealer contacted ATF 10/28/22 for F4 copy
???
Good approval time by my estimation, if the stamp had arrived in a timely manner.

Yeah that’s literally right at the 45 day mark that it’s supposed to be at the dealer by. Definitely something amiss.
I know this is a wait time thread if not aloud to ask here please let me know where to ask but I have the surefire RC2 I bought for my axsr 300 win mag barrel but it’s threaded 3/4-24 which is a 338 muzzle device thread with that being said will an rc2 work with a 338 muzzle device?
My last set of suppressors (4 of them all submitted at different times) came back in 180 days.
3 were paper, one was efile. It was a bit of a shock, give that I waited a year for the last batch…

in just got a email from the atf, i was all excited untili read it was a notification about some email enhancement rollout or some such shit. DAMNIT atf….you suck swamp water. 235 days and counting.
Looks like we need to have two separate email accounts now? I guess they want us to have to check both for fun?

that’s a sexy looking combo right there. congrats on the stamp.
Checked several control numbers in our system. Our latest control number with approval is 2022327796 (10-21-22). 2022322368 (10-19-22).
On Oct 3 we have a control number 20232800, and Oct 31st we have one with control number 202354426. Interesting. Maybe I'll put together a little spreadsheet.
I think we have just over 100 this year.

This is my first NFA item, so I still feel pretty clueless.
Does the control number give an idea as to where you are "in line"?

Not from what I am seeing. The Avg right now is about 235 days from certification. You've got at least another Month, probably 2 or 3..
Just got the second one.

Got the call today boys! My R6 has been approved....
I believe this is the last paper form 4 or the first efile, but if it was efile then I'd have gotten the stamp emailed to me right?
Submitted 9/21/2021- SS kiosk dealer
Stamp received 11-08-2022
How pathetic that it's nearly 14 months!

correct. efile approvals are emailed from atf directly to you, and your dealer.
Picked up my Wolverine PBS-1 today and swapped the collar to mount it on my Zpap. Can’t get to the range until Thursday but it sure looks good.
