The first time I called they said pending not assigned but now when I call they said still pending but didn’t mention if it’s been assigned is that because it has been or they just didn’t include that part ?

Didn't include that part. If it has been assigned they will say that. Once it has been assigned youre in the home stretch. Should be approved within next couple of days once assigned unless there is a correction needed.

I was calling on a semi regular basis and I went from pending to approved from one call to the next within a couple of days.

Government brilliance there, two different approval dates, assuming different inspectors also. Same with mine that just got approved.
I got my 11/5 stamp last week, the 11/11 hasn't gotten to the dealer yet.

Have your dealer double check. My dealer didn't call me because the Stamp was to my trust name.

Thanks, I have. Just gov being gov.

I asked the atf agent if 2 weeks was normal after approval and he informed me that “we have a month to send it”
 
My form 1's have been coming back in 3-4 weeks. Just got a short barrelled shotgun approved in 3 weeks.

I'm guessing here but do you send in an existing 'legal' length shot gun serial number and once your Form 1 is received you can cut your shotgun barrel to length? And if so, does this work with rifles?
 
There are no drawbacks compared to buying one thru a class 3 dealer. Same rules apply, so you have to be aware of the law for transporting, resale, and disposition upon your death. All warranties are voided. You have to cut the barrel yourself or have a gunsmith with an sot 7 do the work. Or, for an ar sbr, just buy a pistol upper.

The cool thing is I called on 11/12/19 and was still pending. So once it’s assigned to an assessor it should be approved fairly quickly.

TBAC 338 Ultra
Single Shot trust (SilencerShop)
Cashed on 4/28/2019
Disapproved 10/28/2019 - single word "Background'
NFA examiner was good (IMHO) - emailed me letter which I hadn't received in mail. [wasn't "in the system" until mid Nov (per the examiner)
All comes down to NICS.
Filed appeal

I have an active and valid concealed carry licenses/permits from 2 states. {validated by providing law enforcement identification during recent incident a couple weeks ago having called 911 on another person] What the hell NICS?

what did the email say
 
The email was just the letter that I had not recv'd regarding the denial/disapproval based on NICS background check. The examiner was very good at responding to my emails asking for the letter. He offered to send it after our initial conversation when I called to inquire about the Disapproval. However, even though the status was dated 10/28/2019 the letter was not "in the system" [his words] until the 3rd week of Nov. I did not push my luck since he was quite responsive, though did send a couple emails several days apart asking if the letter was available yet. I remained polite and didn't ask for anything more than the information needed to pursue the matter further. The letter contained the NTN # needed for the appeal process.
 
I'm in a quandary about this. I'm not sure if I should wait for the appeal process (claims decision within 30 days) or re-apply. It's a messed up situation with the wait times involved. Ideally, I'd like the realization it was an erroneous background/denial and get the silencer without further ado. Yet, I'm semi-resigned to the thought I'm going to have to go full circle again. Totally sucks. Still contemplating if involving an attorney would be of any value. Don't have a lot of hope there either so not spending money unnecessarily to resolve. (yet)
