Check was cashed of the last stamp I’ve applied for on 11/17/17 as well, hopefully it’ll be approved soon. Form 4 on a trust with 2 responsible persons, initiated through a silencer shop kiosk.

Called the ATF today and was told that the form was approved on 7/12, still no stamp yet.

I just got my Q Thunder Chicken out of jail. From date of check cashed to picking it up at my dealer approved was 7 months on the dot.
Went through Silencer Shop with there electronic kiosk.

 

[WoobieJ]

I feel like the days from check cashed to stamp received on trusts is longer than what I'm seeing on NFA tracker.

Be prepared to be surprised of how quiet this can is.

I’ve had it against several different suppressors and haven’t had one beat yet.

I'm waiting on the same can. 3/31/18 check cashed. Interested to hear how you like it.

I've heard a Monolith but never a Megalith. I actually won a Monolith off the prize table at the Bushnell Brawl a couple years ago but I know they were in the process of making the Megalith and PSD gave me a free upgrade to a Megalith. I just had to wait until they were done testing them. I can't wait !

I got off the phone with NFA a couple hours ago, looking into a Form 4 on a trust submitted March 5 that I thought was taking too long. Told they are working on forms from the end of January. Yikes.

Working at 'the speed of government'.

If yours is March 2017, it has a problem.

 

[Mooncake]

Ha, no '18. The last couple 4s I'd gotten back had taken 4 months from the end of '17 to early '18 and I didn't anticipate wait times to go back up.

I thought pre tax return months like march there wouldnt be many suppressors to process, but apparently its more like "dang I wish I had a suppressor for this deer or varmint hunt, etc" and people buy many around late feb, march so theyll have them for next year. Maybe thats why?

 

[NWnewguy]

I think there was just a lull from when people thought that the HPA was going to pass. After people realized it wasn't going to happen any time soon then a new wave of cans got in line. Hopefully they can get the new people hired and get the wait times down. Reality is that without a requirement to have them done in a given time, there really isn't much of a stimulus to get more paperwork with stamps on it mailed out.

4 months? It’s been a long time since anyone else has seen 4 months.

Charge hit my card Feb 1, I should be close now.

I feel your pain, 12/5/17 here with no word. I called the other day and they are waiting on the "background check" to go through. It appears there is still no rhyme or reason as to why some take so much longer than others.

I'm still waiting on one from 4/17. Had my dealer call 6+ months ago and there was no issues.

Holy crap. If you have your serial number I would call them directly. Something has to be wrong there.

I'm planning on having my dealer look into it again.

I'm planning on having my dealer look into it again.

I would not rely on the dealer. Call the ATF yourself at this point.

 

[Mooncake]

Call yourself. They’re friendly and it takes a couple minutes max.

Form 4 Trust:

6 months and 10 days for a trust Form 4. That seems pretty quick. Hope this means things are speeding up.

Form 4 Trust - 1 person
ATF cashed check on 1/6/18
Approved 8/7/18
Dealer received stamp 8/13/18.

Not clear when they mailed them the check. So overall a little under 8 months.

I'm not sure if I like it or not seeing it on my AMEX statement :

Two hits for cans. I'll update when the stamp comes. *tick-tock*

Do the single shot trust take longer than an individual?

 

[longrange_lauber]

Couldn't tell you when my check cashed but my form 4 single person trust took 7 months and one week, got the can back in May, first barcode form my FFL sent out

 

[AbbyKatt]

I'm sitting at about 7 months right now since my check was cashed. Just found out my FFL is going to be gone for the next 3-4 months! He's trying to find someone who can 'cover' him and finish the paperwork when it comes through. Is there anything that can be done on my end to make sure I can actually get my can even if he's out of town? Is it possible for him to transfer it to another FFL?

Hopefully he can get someone to finish you up, 4473 is the last step that needs to be done. As you can Not transfer to another SOT w/o starting all over again!

 

[Skimafia]

I dont know how relevant this is, but I thought I would share-
I purchased my first can on March 31st. The ATF did not cash the payment until May 8th.

I recently purchased a second can. The stamp was purchased August 20th and the check was cashed on September 1st.

Thats more than a month for the first one and a little more than a week for the second. Fingers crossed that this could mean things are being processed more quickly.

 

[ah1356]

If anyone ever told me that I compare favorably to the Post Office or ICE for communications and professionalism I would take it as a grave insult.

 

[CUBUFF89]

I purchased my Omega back in mid March. I have now patiently waited 6 months though when I bought it I expected more like 7 months.

Rant on
Six months, seven months, whatever. It's absolutely ridiculous. Why the hell are we electronically strip searched up one side and down another as if we're trying to engage in a criminal activity when all we want is to make less noise. My hearing loss is very real and I double up my ear pro. But that does nothing for the concussion. Don't even want to yet consider a match where I might have to shoot from within something enclosed like a pipe. If I'm willing to go to the trouble of setting up a trust, get photographed and finger printed (for about the 10th time, literally) I sure as heck don't deserve the level of scrutiny that seems to be thrown our way. Already had numerous background checks for concealed carry permits. I guess I need yet another. Sheesh
Rant off

There, I feel a little better. Now back to waiting.
