Mailed the form in early Nov. They JUST got the form last wed (end of Dec). How long of a wait now?
 
Re: ATF NFA Wait time for a can?

I think the wait time for F4 is around 4 months, might take longer.
 
Re: ATF NFA Wait time for a can?

My last suppressor took 4 months to the day. Sent off August 4th, approved on December 4th. Just waiting to go pick it up.

I hate waiting.
 
Re: ATF NFA Wait time for a can?

Same here, about four months. I signed my form 4 8/14/09, the dealer sent it in and the ATF signature approval was 12/11/09. I picked up my Surefire FA762SS a couple weeks later.
 
Re: ATF NFA Wait time for a can?

Sent mine 7/4. Still waiting....

Jun-Oct 09 - Right at 4 months on a F4 Trust.
 
Re: ATF NFA Wait time for a can?

Probably best just to assume it's going to take forever. That way, when it comes back in just a matter of months, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
 
Re: ATF NFA Wait time for a can?

I have gotten numerous Form 4s back approved in 8-9 weeks, including mailing time, in the past few months. There have been individual, coporate, trusts, professional associations, ...

I just did this, and I only got a certified copy, no stamp. Only, mine got signed in 3 months but took a total of 7 instead. It took forever to get the replacement.
