My Rugged Obsidian 45 was purchased 7/1/2020 and Form 4 approved 12/2/2020, and I picked it up today.
Welp, the fine people at the ATF cashed in my latest on 29 DEC 20 for a Dead Air Nomad...assuming it goes through, the waiting begins. First form1/4 I've done since they updated the requirements for LLCs...right pain in the ass now.
The last time I did this you dropped them the LLC info and that was that. This time around required a finger print card and responsible person questionnaire for every LLC officer. You also need to provide CLEO notification now. Significantly more paperwork. I don't do SBRs and Silencers on the regular, so even though this change happened a couple/few years back, it was still new to me.
It may not be lost, mine took over a month on the first two I had done last year.....the USPS has been delayed with EVERYTHING lately (although UPS and FedEX seem ok though....go figure). Hopefully, it'll show up soon either way.
Oh yuck.....that is a PITA. I really hope they do away with this nonsense on suppressors soon, it's just stupid.

My FFL said they were running about 5-6 months, but it varies for no particular reason...
Should have my form 1 tax stamp any day now, and the 2 form 4 cans stamps should also arrive in the next month or so "I think" ...
Sure would like to get it done before Biden's bunch gets in the new roles. It probably won't matter much for batf stuff, but it sure as hell won't help anything or anyone

Mine said 4-5 months with individual single-shot trusts that are e-filed, which is what the Single-Shot Trust is from Silencer Shop. That's what I used.
I think USPS and “work from home” is slowing stuff a little. My Single Shot check was cashed 7/26 so hopefully getting close.
Good news. Called the atf and my 36M was approved 12/28. Just waiting for the dealer to call me when my tax stamp comes in.

I had the same thing happen to me. Total BS. Two friends that bought their suppressors after me already have them in hand because they used a different FFL. I'm pending since 8/18 so hopefully I'm approved soon, but Usps can't get their shit together so not likely to have it by the end of deer season
3 months?
Did the LGS not have it in inventory? Makes me wonder if they were waiting on a serial number to submit.
If not, I’d never do business with them again.
Really? Me too. I guess there's quite a few AL folks here ?Me too.
Cool. I wish there was a "roll call" type of area for each state. That would be cool to know who is from where. I wish the left side of our screen wasn't a drop-down menu, and it showed all the info without having to click on each and every person's to see where they're from.
I'm in b-ham area. I guess a thread could be done for a "sound off" if you wanted to. Might be cool to see how many AL folks are actually on here

Well with that timeline (I did 2 via a form 4 with trust also), that would put mine to arrive in the last week of February. I thought it was closer. I guess it could come sooner than that as well...
The whole reason I did a form 1 was because "it's much faster" and yet, I still don't have that stamp either, nor do I have the quietbore can yet. You can't even communicate with quietbore at all. I would definitely NOT recommend using them if at all possible! They won't even respond to a damn email inquiry, which is the only option to even communicate with them.
Posted this elsewhere, but figured I’d see what this thread though. I’m starting to get a little impatient. I filed a Form 1 eFile back in August and it’s still pending. Gave the NFA department about 2 weeks ago to ask what the deal was. Guy told me he couldn’t say I’d have to speak to the experts? I emailed the “perceived experts” and got no response. The ATF person answering the phone stated typical Form 1 for eFile is 2-3 months. Anyone have any solid contacts to try and get to the bottom of the delay? Has anyone seen similar delays?

Trying to decipher the intent and progress of the ATF is like trying to squeeze blood from a rock. Sorry bro, should be anytime then.
Yeah you're right. I figured that timeline would be on the longer end of the spectrum. My ffl (who's also the manufacturer for the form 4's) has been seeing about 5-ish months so, I'm hoping for this month.
I have no idea of what is the delay on my form 1. I got the cover letter on 12/15 and sent the cards and copies on 12/17. I thought I'd have that stamp by now but I guess the holidays plays into that a good bit so???
Ours were cashed on the same day. When you call to check on yours ask about mine. I have a phone phobia.
they are nice, just call them, be polite, and have the serial number of the suppressor and the FFL that's doing the transfer and they'll tell you it's pending and average wait time is 7 months. Since you are just a month out, no point in calling until about 6 months. Some fast approvals showing up but those probably aren't the norm. I've never been that lucky, I'm always right in the middle when it comes to approval times.Ours were cashed on the same day. When you call to check on yours ask about mine. I have a phone phobia.
