Sweet! My first 2 were cashed on 5/16
There was a fairly interesting article on the last page of Guns & Ammo recently about the Hearing Protection Act. How all the suppressor manufacturers had geared up production in anticipation of it getting passed. Then Parkland and Nashville happened and that really put an end to getting the NFA status changed. Explains why my local dealer deeply discounted his inventory of them last fall. According to the article the number of Form 4's sent in had slowed way down when people thought the law would be changed. So maybe the volume backlogged will level off before going back up now. Glad I sent in for 2 in the fall so I won't have to go through the long wait again.
I think we are going to be waiting for awhile unfortunately. I mean you’d think it’d be pretty quick given the slow down of forms going in but I guess not. Then add in the government shutdowns which is about to happen again we probably got a long way. I am 2 months behind uou on my last two. We should revolt because this stuff is getting stupid. It’s kind of like buying a house, paying for it in full then the gov giving you permission to move in it a few years from now. It’s complete BS.
Isn't that just the check cashing part? Send it there, they cash the check, then the forms get sent to WV?

6/4/2018 check cash date, I am thinking about trying to cancel and building one on a eForm 1.
I’ve inquired about that but heard it’s a real pain in the ass and will raise a bunch of issues so I’ll just wait it out. Hopefully by April will be here. Just my luck that less than a month after I sent mine in efile opened back up and they were running about 3-4 weeks. ?
Ok, someone school me here. We all know this was a last ditch effort to help the company because SilencerCo was in some trouble, at least that’s how I understand it. And many of us bought into it and gave them an interest free loan. I am ok with that as long as I get my property because I’d hate to see one of the largest suppressor companies go away, but what if it didn’t work. What’s to stop them from filing bankruptcy and not handing us crap for our money? I mean in theory they could do this and just start up a new company with a different name with the money we just gave them, yes?
I don't think that's how bankruptcy works. And, SiCo sent out an email today saying sorry for the wait. They said everyone should have their BOGO suppressors shipped out by the end of June.
Thank you to whichever mod cleaned up my last post. Got off the rails a bit on that one. Just tired of this crap.
Literally the most accurate gif or meme of waiting for a suppressor hahaha

Called to check status today on a whim, approved TODAY, paperwork should be here within 30 days... My bet is at least 2 more weeks
271 days to approval now we see how snail mail goes

I'm not even sure what you're talking about. If you're talking about the BOGO, then I'm not sure what it has to do with Form 4 wait times.
What we are seeing for wait times increase are probably a combination of the government shut down, where they didn't process any forms for nearly a month and the post HPA realization, when people decided to buy more silencers again. The huge slow down that happened when HPA was being discussed hurt a bunch of companies, but more so for companies that were leveraged in order to increase production. I don't think you have a realistic worry about SilencerCo not shipping something that they owe you. They have always been great on customer service for me and with helping some of the guys I know where there was damage that was totally their fault. SilencerCo always came through. I can't say that for some other companies.
ATF form 4 individual.
Pending: 18May18
Approved: 12Feb19
Arrived at dealer: 16Feb19
Of note, I had another can that has a pending date in August and it wasn't pulled forward with this one. Thought that was strange and inefficient.

Is it? Or is it intentional and malicious?
they would save themselves and us a whole lot of time if they would do that. In this day and age of computers it shouldnt be too hard to attach each form 4 to the person's SSN so when the agent gets to a certain form 4 to approve it, they could pull all pending form 4's for that SSN.... But that would make too much sense.
I have had them pull cans forward before when I had bought several within 3-4 months of each other. That's why I was a little surprised when this one came back approved without the other can's paperwork.
If we were to talk about inefficiencies within the NFA branch of the ATF we would be here for a while, but I would have to start with having to send in two sets of fingerprints and two photos for each can even if you order six of them on the same day. Makes no sense and is ridiculous. It is definitely set up to be a deterrent to ownership; that's for sure.

I am with you .. a deadair wolverine can and my rifle dynamics AK M92 SBR ... and here i was thinking maybe i get it for xmas, lucky to be tax day
I’ve been thinking about why they don’t combine suppressor paperwork when they get a new application. I think when I file for the 338 Ultra SR I’m going to put a cover letter with all my previous applications check cashing date, FFL (same for all) and the serial numbers of them all. Maybe with enough bread crumbs they will figure it out. I can’t imagine the people (the actual drones, not management) want to actually do more work.
I beleive they are filed by your last name, and certain agents get a range to go through, so one agent may have 500 and another 2000.
