A website to see approval?!How are you finding out it’s approved? Is there a website we can look it up?
I called again today and the lady on the phone was quite pleasant to me as well. When she told me I am still pending I asked “ it’s 8 months today, how long is the process taking right now”. She stated 7-10 months is standard but recently it’s looking like a year plus may be a reality. Not what I was hoping to hear at all.I called today to check on my submission and was told that it is not in the system yet, but that they have received it as they charged my credit card on 3-31-21. The girl I spoke with was nice, but told me to check back in 90 days and that they currently have a big back log. Should I be worried? Are they starting to slow walk these things? I e-filed a form 1 at about the same time and that came back approved in less than a month.
All 4 of mine were Form 3's to my local SOT's before the Form 4 was sent to the ATF.Sorry if this is the wrong place. But did any of you guys submit form 3s before submitting your form 4? if so how long did the form 3 take?
Well, this is awful to hear.. I had a suspicion that all these sub 6 month approvals were going to end once the new ATF leadership started to come in... this is terrible news, I'm cashed March 10th, was hoping got September, but I guess I'll be calling my reps around then as the wait is likely to balloon under these people.I called again today and the lady on the phone was quite pleasant to me as well.

Times are increasing, don’t get your hopes up. I have form 4s cashed in October 2020 of last year that still have not been approved. Several guys who have commented have form 4s from early summer 2020 with nothing yet. It sounds like a big part of it is the new ATF admin that had been brought in is likely slowing things down. I’m hearing 10-12 months now from several sources. Let’s hope to god that’s not the case!I called today to check on my approval, December 15th cash date. She was super pleasant but I could tell she liked to hear the disappointment in my voice when she said "seven months". Deflated. I think my soul briefly exited my body.
Have a brand new 300 BLK SBR1 build that I've not even shot yet, was waiting for the can and am still hoping for a May approval, gotta be positive! I think calling is sort of a waste honestly. They don't have any actual knowledge specific to your situation other than a basic estimate from when the check was cashed.
Well I guess my argument there would be, suppressor sales have been at an all time high for a year and a half now, and all of last summer into early 2021 I was hearing it was very common to see form 4s back in 4-6 months. I got a form early last year when everything was sold out and still got the stamp in 5 months. Sent another one in early summer and had it in October, and sent a third in a few days later. I’m now about 7 months deep on a can that I should have had 2 months ago according to other SHers with similar check cash dates. That has since changed in just the past 1-2 months from the feel of things. Now every time I call to check I hear 7-9 months, when just 2 months ago they said 5-7 months on the phone. It’s all speculation, but again, something changed and I don’t think it was suppressor sales.I don't think it has anything to do with the new ATF director. Look around... suppressor sales are through the roof. Everyone getting their stamps in process now in fear that shit is coming. I have a few that are in process. 1 started 2 months ago, another just got check cashed. I doubt I’ll see them this year.

Who knows man, like I said, it's all speculation.I have never called before so I have no idea what they say over the phone.
But I wouldn't put too much stock in their canned generic responses.
My last can was cashed in late October 2020 and got back in April of 2021.
Only time will tell but I'm thinking its just the flow of things right now.
I guess I will just have to report back in around sept/oct of this year on when my next one gets approved (hopefully). It was a March 26th cash date.
I am resisting the urge the best I can to get one of those mil Sandmans, still waiting on the standard one thats been in jail about 6 and a half months now.Called today about my 3 that were cashed on 12/31... Still "Pending"...
Once those 3 come back, then I'll still have my Sandman-S I bought that got cashed on 4/9/2021, and just bought one of the MIL-contract FDE Sandman-S cans last night.
Not everyone, August 31st cashed and still pending.Who knows man, like I said, it's all speculation.
I am waiting on two cans, both cashed in late october, still pending. Apparently the individual reviewing my accounts took a vacation, because everyone who has posted checks cashed on here in september, october, and now november are all getting theirs. We will see. My trigger finger got itchy and since I can't shoot I just dropped coin on a TBAC 338 can I don't even have a host for lol
They were built for DEVGRU (Seal Team 6) for their new Noveske 10.5" 5.56 and .300 BLK rifles. If it was just cerakote, I would have waited, but the fact it has a SMS-MIL-XXXX serial number on it, I had to bite the bullet. That's going to be a conversation piece some day. It's not everyday you get to buy brand new production, currently-being-used, MIL contract items at regular prices. That's why I went ahead. I was already planning on getting another SM-S in the future, but when those got released, I was like...I am resisting the urge the best I can to get one of those mil Sandmans, still waiting on the standard one thats been in jail about 6 and a half months now.

Deadair Odessa cashed Nov 25th. Stamp at dealer 5/8-2021. And DeadAir wolfman check chased 12/25 2021. Stamp at dealer 5/8- 2021. These are 2 of 4 I bought and I'm not going to lie. I was shocked when the LGS called. Those two were signed bye the same person. I'm not holding my breath on the Nomad L and CGS mod 9 they were cashed Fed 2nd. So with the rush on cans I'm guessing Sept. Unless I get lucky again. Good luck Guy's and

I’m not following this. I had one mailed back in the first week of March. Check was cashed 8 days later. I have another that was sent on the 5th of this month. I’m sure it will say cashed in the next week or so.90 day's to 100 day's just to get a date of cashed in the system.

Just what I heard through the grapevine...Thanks for the info. I have a hard time trying to find out which unit actually booked them. Do you have a reputable source to confirm that? And yes, I bought the FDE S also.
I hope he is just talking. I never call the ATF and check the status of them so I don't no. I do no two guy's were standing at the counter upset because there cards or checks were showing chased at the bank. Butt when they called the ATF they said they were told it could be 90 days before it's putt into the system. That's what when the LGS said that. I pray it's not true.I’m not following this. I had one mailed back in the first week of March. Check was cashed 8 days later. I have another that was sent on the 5th of this month. I’m sure it will say cashed in the next week or so.
Not everyone, August 31st cashed and still pending.
I had a 30 March approval as well and still nothing in hand here.How long are guys seeing it take from approval to pick up? I had a March 30 approval and nothing in hand yet
My last one was approved March 8, dealer didn't get stamp until Late AprilHow long is it taking the guys who have been approved to get your stamp in hand? As of today I'm at 6 weeks and still no stamp at dealer... I would really hate to wait an additional 45 days for a certified copy.
I tried yesterday and she mentioned it was with an examiner.. not sure if that means anything but I'm still pending as of 8/19I have 8X form-4s (Individual) all sent via SS Kiosk and checks cashed 8/25. Called last Friday, and all were still pending... Gonna call them again tomorrow. I'm starting to get antsy now (60k worth of stuff). I'll call them every week at this point.
Called today, Still pending. She (Jenifer) said 7-10months. Being 8/25, I'm approaching 10months.I tried yesterday and she mentioned it was with an examiner.. not sure if that means anything but I'm still pending as of 8/19
Honestly it's a complete toss-up right now, brother.Called today about my 3 that were cashed on 12/31... Still "Pending"...
Once those 3 come back, then I'll still have my Sandman-S I bought that got cashed on 4/9/2021, and just bought one of the MIL-contract FDE Sandman-S cans last night.
So quick question guys. 6 months from cashed 11/12/2020 today. Form 4 individual. Looking over my file copy of my form 4 and I realized my dealer made a mistake. Under box 17a he put “not Hispanic or Latino” when I am indeed Hispanic or Latino. Anyone know if this will cause some issues?
Thanks!
