Suppressors Form 4 wait time
This is absolute truth of how fucked up and careless the BATFE and the FBI is still to this day. It sucks for people that have to wait a whole year just to find out that they’re sharing a name with someone that has a massive or even simple criminal record. They won’t push to find out who’s who, YOU have to do the leg work and prove yourself. And you guys that have pushed hard to get extra benefits through the VA, you’re 100% flagged and targeted for mental illness denials. It’s fucking bullshit…..
Got another one this morning. This is my first one that doesn’t have the examiners name signed in approval. Just thought that was odd
My last approval didn’t include an examiner name.
Also thought that was kind of strange
I finally have the R30 that I've been waiting on. THIS IS A WEIRD ONE. I got an email on 1/20/24 from silencer shop saying it was approved with the PDF attached. I NEVER got the email from the atf. The approve date was 11/16/23 the same as the above. I waited another 2 months from their mess up. Even the guy that did my paperwork said this is a first. Technically it was 152 days but was never notified.
Used the R30 this past weekend for the 2 day PRS match and won tac class. I like the can just wish I had it for hunting season.

Not so sure the 100% flagged and targeted for mental illness denials statement. I have documented PTSD from my service and haven't faced any denials on purchase of any of the suppressors I have nor any weapons.
This scenario is why I refuse to have anything related to mental health with my VA records. Call it fear mongering or whatever. But I do not trust the Government. I have buddies who get decent benefits for having PTSD or "anxiety" percentages on their disability, I just worry this would be an easy and obvious step for some tyrants to take.
Tbac 338 SR G2 approved today 176 days. Had a flow 762 submitted the same day hopefully I get it back later today or tomorrow so I can make only one FFL trip.
Former mil officer, sec clearances as mil and civ, zero criminal record....and still got put on endless delays by NICS.
So, I got a UPIN (which was approved in less than a day) and last NICS check went thru like crap thru a goose.
Something to consider.

In addition to 4 day work weeks averaging 4 hrs/day...They could literally process them in 5 to 15 minutes (same as a NICS check for a gun purchase), but they don’t… It’s called government, bureaucracy, and job security.
Good to know.
I got the same notice. HmmmmThe ATF was making sure you knew you were actually approved and good to go!
How many do you need to be in the running for a “batch approval?”
There’s no rule, rhyme, or reason. Could be just two.

I had one form 1 approved less than 30 days back December 23. Certified and submitted another first week of January and still pending. Like everyone is saying, no rhyme or reason to the process. Typical federal government work.

Same happened to me. Notified 2 months later by silencer shopJust got word that my can was approved, 2 fucking months ago!

I have a rifle that I've been holding off using for deer until I got this can to go with it.
Can approved 11/11, firearm deer season opens 11/15.
Better than my Silencer Shop notification. They notified me that they made a mistake and I lost nine months of waiting.
Ouch!
Had that happen once, but it was only 4-5 months. It was the dealers fault.
Wow

I contacted my rep to ask the ATF on my behalf what’s the hold up. ATF responded with a boiler plate response, but my form was approved 7 days later. All of my other cans have taken at least 300 days.

We think my name was pulled in the monthly audit. All four of my stamps were approved yesterday. The oldest was submitted in December.

But, if the ATF makes a mistake, they’ll turn that around in under a week, including snail mail both ways…
Flow 762 was approved today, 2 weeks to the day from the tbac that was submitted on the same day.

This is what they look like in real life. There's no other explanation for the fast turn around. Left to Right: @Lazyfaire @Bluedog82 @Hippy_Steve @higginsworksforme @nikonNUT and @clcustom1911
Congratulations ladies!

You hear nothing but cycle without ear pro with sub 147's and a #27 90⁰ locking piece. It's better than what I wanted. Money well spent.
