Now 2 months, and my check hasn’t cashed. My dealer sent my Form 4 individual out around August 7th and apparently the BATFE office changed locations from West Virginia to Oregon sometime near this timeframe..Anyone else experiencing a delay with their initial processing? I don’t care how long it takes to be approved, I just want to know it was received in a timely manner.

ETA: Checked with my dealer and they do not request tracking or delivery confirmation, lol!

That is a drag! I will say I am surprised your dealer wasn't aware of the change, it actually happened closer to the beginning of the year from what I understand, and that all initial documents go to Oregon first. Their address has been updated since April anyway, that is when I started paperwork for my form 4s. I will say that reading through this thread and from what I have heard elsewhere, the checks are getting cashed 2-8 weeks after form 4s are sent in. 2-3 weeks was average 6 months ago. On the backend, seems like cans are coming within 5-8 months. Makes you wonder what changes they are making.... Flip a coin

Just got the call today that my TBAC TD22 is ready to be picked up. Check cashed 6/19/2020 and will need to see when it was approved, but that was only 131 days from check cashed to getting the call. I'll take that.

Edit: Picked it up today and the approval was 10/16/2020 for 120 days from check cashed to approval.

I’ve been very blessed this year with wait times. Both cans have been under the same trust, through silencershop:
Rugged micro-30:
-check cashed 1/6/2020
-received call from LGS on 6/10/2020
Thunderbeast 338 ultra:
-check cashed 6/4/2020
-received call from LGS on 10/24/2020

I have a SiCo sparrow in jail where the check cashed 6/22/2020. Fingers crossed I get a call soon!

    See how long it takes. My first two cans were 9 months if I remember right. I'm guessing I'll see it in March. Which is fine, as I'm not shooting anyways as it's snow and cold.

    Testing indicates the Ultra9 did not change zero the slightest on my rifle. :cool:
    I did notice that the cover I got reflects a tan color into my scope when the sun is on it. Going to have to get a different color & make it more matt.

    Decided to call the ATF yesterday to get an updated on my SiCo sparrow: It was approved by the ATF on 10/28/2020.
    Now we will see how long it takes for the stamp to make it to my LGS.

    checks cashed 8/22/19... There were 7 items in the batch of paper work I sent in. One was approved with stamp received in March. The rest I am still waiting on. Trust with 2RP. Called in early September and no dice...

    Tried to call today, but it's a federal holiday.

    Pretty sure my reviewer caught the 'Rona and passed... :unsure::unsure::unsure:

    Feh...

    Called today, remaining 6 stamps all approved. Looking forward to having my kit... :)

    Stamp cashed mid-May. Called to check last week. Would only tell me they received the paperwork in May.
    No other info provided.
    NFA tracker website says currently running 7.5 months from Stamp cashed to approval.
    Hopefully get a Christmas present, in that case...

    Form 4 mailed May 15.
    check cashed unknown
    Dealer received approved F4 Nov 17

    thats 5 different F4’s in 2020 approved right at 6 months from forms mailed to stamp received

    I’m hoping they will expedite my Dominus because of my frequent flyer status 😉

    I'm officially "done" ... got everything in the arsenal covered, and then some. My advice to anyone ordering a suppressor tax stamp ... just swallow hard and order all the suppressors you need at the same time. This "Can-Case" took "years" to populate. I wish I'd doubled and tripled my orders and just gotten it over with vs. trickling in my Form-4's in sequential 8-to-10 month initervals.
