Keep the faith. I did mine as an individual trust at the end of June and just got them. I was told average turn time was around 100 days, but got all three of mine in less than 90.
Yeah I have one friend that took a year and a half, and another one that took I think it was 11 days. There’s no rhyme or reason to it.
I just did one last week. took the dealer 3 days for the "compliance" check stuff...then we efiled the form 4 on Friday about 3pm. I got the email from the ATF Tuesday morning around 830 that it was approved. My other 2 took about a 7 business days each. This one was just 2 days.
Bought a B&T 762 Rotex with the Surefire adapter on 7/9, waited a month for my LGS to have their license renewed (I don't think they are?!) so I had it shipped to the next town over in the middle of Aug, but didn't get over there until the 31st to set up my trust on the kiosk. I brought it home yesterday. I assumed the trust was gonna be a 4-6 month wait, so I kinda lollygagged or it could have been much quicker!
Stuck it on an AR-15 because it was beside my bed already wearing a Warcomp.

I thought all trustees had to go in and have a pic & prints on file, he said no more, just fill out a silencer shop form and done! Now that my account is active I'm pretty sure an SBR is next!
Sorry if this has been discussed and I missed it, but WTF happened here? My first cans took about 1-year each to be approved. My latest one took 2-days. That's significant.
Was AFT being malicious with these approvals before?

Asa also has done some other update videos.
Nope.

You should get an email with the approved eForm. Make sure you print out a couple of copies; one to bring with you when you pick up the can and one to put into your Suppressor notebook (to ensure you have all the forms in one place).
You should have got the approved .pdf form attached to the ATF approval email. That is all you need for the shop to run the 4473 on pickup.
Simplier put... Congress gave ATF a boat load of money to implement the 90 day approval thang. They did not and Congress said "Get your shit together or we are taking the funding back!". There is no niceness, concern for applicants, doing their job, etc. about it.

This is the only time it has ever happened for me. I’m used to the 18 month wait
It looks like the approvals are still all over the place, with no reason to any of it. Multiple people are getting them approved in days, some in weeks, and some are still taking months.
My latest, filed as an individual via eForms:
#1 Certified June 19 - Approved July 18
#2 Certified Aug 6 - Approved Sept 10
So my average has been around 30 days, which according to ATF stats is slightly better than the current average of 41 days for a Form 4. https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/current-processing-times
I had heard from numerous people that if your approval had reached 30 days, that if you call and inquire about the status, that it would be approved within 24-48 hours of the call. Ironically, my last one had gone over 30 days, so I called, and it was approved the next day!
I still don't understand why some people can get an approval in 48-72 hours, but it is still taking others over a month to get an approval. I especially say that because in my case, my second approval took over 30 days, even though I had just gotten an approval in the month before. Leave it to the worthless Fed Govt!

i am becoming less optimistic by the day that the two eform single shot trusts that were certified back in april will be approved before elk season
called. both 'pending' so we'll see if anything happens in the next week and a half

I feel ya, man! Got a Scythe Ti in 3 days and an Omega 9k in 2 days. Now I have a Spectre-9 that is at 25 days and a B&T SD can for an APC9SD at 5 days and I'm like "WHAT THE FUCK?!?" Perception of time sucks!
I think my luck ran out -or- I pissed off my personally assigned agent.

I'm really just making a joke of crying in my beer. I'm really not in a big hurry, as both of them are just different versions of things I already have covered. They aren't holding me up from anything.
All of mine before were 8-11 months, so if I hit the 30 day average mentioned above it will still be awesome, and anything less than that would be "awesome-er". I just knew when I was reading the stories about 1-2 days, "Yeah, that won't be me," and I was right.

E-Form Trust
Certified 9-17-24
Approved 9-26-24
8 days.
I ordered it less than 30 after the approval of another suppressor, it's the only reason why I can come up with for the fast approval.

Still waiting on my approval

You think they would start with one that came in first

That would constitute the Federal Gov't using logic and we all know that is not how the Gov't works. LOL
E-Filed a Form 4 thru Capitol Armory on a trust that I have a couple of Form 1 Cans on.
Filed Friday 9/27/24
Approved Monday 9/29/2024
I know they didn't work over the weekend, so basically overnight for an approval.

I sure am happy for all of you. I wish I knew what happened with my September 9 filing for three cans. Still waiting. Maybe I should stop posting crap about the ATF on Facebook. Think that will help?
I did 2 cans, three days before yours. Haven’t heard a thing on mine either. These other guys suck!
lol still april here...even after a call to the ATFI did 2 cans, three days before yours. Haven’t heard a thing on mine either. These other guys suck!
Last week impulse purchase of a can, 28 hours for atf individual approval when submitted. Other than multi user of a trust, I see no advantage of trusts anymore.
