Month gap from purchase to form 4 submission was due to not having one in stock since you need a serial number for the application. Will update stamp in hand date when I get it.

just a hair under 6 months from ATF charging the card. As my first suppressor I'm excited. I was going to call last week for the first time but i kept forgetting to call early. they close at 4:30 EST and i'm MST.
On a side note, I just purchased a Torrent T3k this morning from Silencer shop about 2 hours before my SOT texted me about the stamp.

forgot to mention the examiner was Trish Bartles. My SOT said he sees her name frequently on the more quickly turned around form 4's.

Ordered Jan of this year. Still havea long road ahead of me. I've done a pretty good job of forgetting about it until this thread pops back up 
. I'm tempted to order one for a .45 cal and see if they would be approved together.

I'm happy for you but it pisses me off that hoe at the atf gave me attitude for calling at 6 months
I’ve talked to tht hoe before too, she’s not the nicest. Her name starts with an M and ends in an A... that’s the one I’m talking about.
Y'all gonna be mad at me.

As you can see, the wait times were crazy short for me. I was pleasantly surprised when my dealer called me to come get my items. I haven't bought any class 3 since before 41f, so I was fully expecting long wait times. I am convinced that the short approvals for me were a fluke. All items were handled via silencershop for document submission.

If there’s two “L’s” somewhere in there, I got her about four weekend ago when I called and she was... rather curt. Told me ‘pending’ and before I could say ok, thank you for your time I heard a click.
Who let this guy in here...kick'em out! Lol
My first can on 2015 too 3 months...the recent one was over 10. Ive also put them in a trust as well and from my understanding those take a bit longer.
Congrats on getting your cans
nah bra. Just a dude disguised as a dude playing another dude. Lol.
I just got my suppressor on Tuesday the 20th.

snagged a Sig 762qd ti during the gander sale. Paperwork took awhile because they closed the store where i bought it soon after and had to send it to another store. check cashed oct 16. Stamp arrived today.
Oct 15 is when the atf got my paperwork, may 1 approved, still no stamp in yet. Shop said the last stamps came in cleared april 23. What in the fuck takes 5 weeks to ship?!?! Covid or not, this is just more gov control. Utter bullshit...
Guess my bitching paid off, got the call an hour after i made this post, however, i am out of town, they are not open tomorrow or monday, guess Tuesday it is..

And that beotch at the ATF told me "You're only at 6 months". Our checks were cashed within days of each other.
Because of privacy concerns, I understand that I may get in trouble with moderators on this forum for posting the photos of members who get their tax stamps approved in 5 months or less.
With that in mind, here is a group photo, from the waist down, of the last five individuals on this forum who got their tax stamps in 5 months or less.
Sadly, the photo is a few years old. A bad break on my ankle followed by repeated sprains has made stiletto heels a no-go for me.
But I still look killer in flats!
Spacex is a few hours away from their historic launch. Meanwhile I cannot take possession of my new can until a paper stamp arrives at my dealer... Come on ATF, update the way you do things!

Still waiting on the cal from the dealer.
OK, I need some quick "How-To" help here.
I've done Form-1 (once, so far), but never Form-4. Last night I spotted TBAC Ultra 9's (Compact Brake) in stock at Mile High, so I pulled the trigger on three (3) of them. Card charged, received order confirmation. I put my local FFL info in at time of sale.
Now, I know I need to start the F4 process... but I've never done it, so precisely what do I do now?

TheHorta,
You’ll start the Form 4 process when your local dealer either gets the serial number from the distributor or actually gets the suppressor inhand. I prefer teh latter to make sure the numbers match.
The FFL/SOT/Class III you use for the transfer should be able to help guide you through the process. If they can’t, find another who will. This early in the game you might be able to change dealers if the Form 3 (distributor to dealer form) hasn’t been done yet.
I’ve done it through the Silencer Shop kiosk and it was painless. But doing it on paper isn’t too bad either. Just find an SOT who can help with fingerprints and the form 4.

They cashed my check on 21OCT2019, and the shop called me 21MAY2020....7 months to the day. Form4 electronic via SS.
Most recent individual was just under 6 months...but took two months to get jailed from ATF to LGS. From what I’ve been seeing 4 month approvals are not that uncommon.
Mine approved April 21. And I'm still waiting for my stamp
Mine was May 12 I haven’t gotten the call yet either.
