Received the second stamp 2/26/21
I disagree with both of you but that is fine, we can agree to disagree.
I have found NFA tracker to be pretty close on Form 4 individual paper submissions and there are more than a few people that have posted lately in this very thread that are getting 5 month return times.
As far as what your LGS says... I am glad you have that much trust in them. Must be a good one. I've had LGS tell me 6.5 Creedmor is just a fad..... 6.5 Creedmor/6.5 Grendal, same thing..... 45 GAP should be fine in your Glock 21..... etc.

I just hit 120 days on a form1 and still waiting. Should’ve done a couple form4’s back in November instead.
I have a Dominus on a form 4 single shot trust with check cashed 9/25/20. Hoping my call comes this week too...
Your dealer prolly has the stamp sitting in an envelope. Maybe he just needs to go through all his paperwork/mail...
finally got through to the ATF after a 15 minute wait time. My application is still pending. Was told 7 months is the average wait time.
Check cashed 11/16/20
Check cashed 11/16/20
I'm still hoping for Beginning of April. That will be exactly 5 months from submission date.
I just exchanged emails with an ATF representative about my form 1 which is now past 120 days, and she stated that FBI BCG’s are being processed that were submitted on or around 9/30/2020. Sounds like my form 1 will be at least another 6 weeks. I won’t even speculate how long my form 4 will take. It’s only been processing for about a month. I wish it was easy to just forget about this stuff. LOL
Dominus purchased from TBAC with 50% cert 2-4-20
Transferred to my SOT on 12-1-20
Life got busy, my father died, too much to list..
Mailed everything to ATF on 2-22-21, Trust with 3 responsible persons
Check was cashed 3-5-21
Hopefully I will be able to update this in 6-9 months, less would be better, but not expecting it.
Is that for an individual form 4? I'd be calling everyday if so. trusts are going to take longer.
Patience is not always a bad thing. Calling everyday isn’t going to make them approve it any faster. Submit it and forget about it until you get a call.
Yes, individual, and like the post above states, calling more gets nothing done any quicker

It makes no sense how someone that started a full month behind me has suppressor in hand and I’m still pending.

That's why I went ahead and got my first 3 at once... All my bases will be covered, so I'll have cans to use while I wait on my future ones.
My stamps were cashed on 12/31, so still waiting over here. Hopefully soon!
Update.. released from jail on 03/08/2021
Basically 4 months? You hit the jackpot, still no stamp in hand?
I posted with an updated just a few days after that post. My dealer has stamp, i just haven't gone to pick it up lol.
Still pending from 07/17/20. Can’t wait for “NICS” background checks to look like this too.

I just did 3 cans from Silencer Shop and their listed NFA wait time is 260! days for form 4 trust thru the mail. NFA tracker has it listed at 197 days (I think it was around the 160 mark in the last couple days, guess it went up by a month+). *from check cashed to approval.
Anyways all these people getting theirs back in 5-6 months time is giving me false hope.
Just wait til someone tells Uncle Joe to sign something about the evil black silencers.
I don't have "check cashed" dates etc as my FFL sent his check and I paid him. I picked it up Sat 3/14 and he sent in the BATFE paperwork on 9/16 so 5 months. Part of my trust. Just to share, he told me he had many forms still pending that were submitted much before mine. His "theory" is some examiners are working faster than others.

Yeah falls in line with all the other form 4 times from my buddy's gun shop. They are getting almost all form 4's back at 4-5 months
Fingers crossed here, waiting on my first can, my check cashed 10/19/20. Thought the wait was bad before now seeing other October cashed dates is making me anxious.
To be honest, just find another thing to focus on. They are all over the place with timing. I got heavily into reloading last year, so I focused on that and tried to forget about my cans. My plan is to buy another when I go to pick them up. Then it won't be that bad waiting since I will have my other 2 new ones.

Well damn, I keep checking with my FFL and he hasn’t received it. I might need to call the ATF to check
paid for my first can yesterday, paid for the dominus, tax stamp and h4350 all at once. how do you know if they've taken your money?

I went through the silencer shop and they had a record of when the check was cashed.
