Suppressors Form 4 wait time
I’m at 180 days on this and a dead air
380 days from order to pick-up.
Bro, I've got one certified on 5/17, and I'll be lucky if I see IT by Christmas... You might get your's around Feb, at the current time frames.
Also, yeah... The Mask is a better can. Friends don't let friends buy Q.

I ordered a 6th in May, a DA Sierra, the day it was released. Showed in stock at the time of purchase but just looked and still says backordered. WTF.
@Silencer Shop, Can you look into this? Order: 2804763
Maybe cancle and buy an otter creek, I've seen quite a few Sierra 5s with destroyed baffles already.
I’ve seen the same, which is a shame, because I love all my DA cans. I was going to buy one, but that’s the main reason I don’t have a Sierra5 yet. Been waiting on them to address this issue, and announce an updated version.
I can’t wait to get my Polonium 556 in the coming months.
I heard back from my congressman’s staffer.
My 2, certified on 4/7/2022 and 5/26/2022 are still pending. Response from ATF below, with information removed. I’m also having the staffer request a batch approval.
As of 04-07-2022, the application is PENDING. The FBI NICS background check is pending.
As of 05-26-2022, the application is PENDING. The FBI NICS background check is pending.
Not sure if they are waiting for background check or what or if it has even been assigned.
ATF said currently processing Eforms from mid March.

Emailed them and text’d them this weekend, finally heard back from one today. No apologies, no explanations, nothing… so, I canceled.
Now they are saying it will take 5-10 days for refund.
I’ll take a look into the otter creek. I suspect, whatever I buy next, will be through Capital Armory, regardless.
Sorry @Silencer Shop … when someone drops damn near $6k of NFA business your way over the period of 2mo, and there’s no courtesy or notification given when ball is dropped on your end, there’s no more $ coming from my end, we’re breaking up.
Well, that sounds like BS from the ATF. I have a suppressor that I am waiting for that has been in purgatory since the beginning of March. Still waiting on it so I doubt they are in mid March. Also, what takes the FBI so long?? It would appear as though they just purposely "sit" on these?
Agreed. It’s all a bunch of bullshit.
I can walk in and out of a store in 15 minutes with any required background check and a rifle in my hands…….but a fart can that goes on the end of it that is not capable of doing anything…….you pay $200 convenience fee and wait indefinitely while your out thousands of dollars in goods you can’t have.
Hey @Nbleak21, I'm sorry we weren't able to get to your message earlier, I personally was out yesterday or I would have seen your previous message, my apologies. As for the Sierra 5, we are waiting to get more restocked, we currently do not have an ETA for them. Some customers have had luck calling local Powered By Silencer Shop dealers and finding them in stock in local inventory. I totally understand the frustration, I will follow up with a DM. -Chase

Form 4 paper
Cashed Nov 2, 2021
Approved Oct 14, 2022 - just called them
Haven't heard from the dealer about a stamp yet. Hopefully quick.
Still have 3 on eforms from April 2 and June6, so no batch with the paper. Shit.

Got the call from the dealer on my last remaining paper F4:
Cashed: 10/2/2021
Approved: ?
Stamp in hand: 10/18/2021
So wait times are still hovering right around 365 days, but this is an improvement of ~30 days from the approved F4 I received last month.

Got my paper form4 back in exactly 1 year on 10/13, now they need to get back to eforms, have 2 from April 13 that are still pending. Seems they are stuck in early March for eforms still.

In hand.......??????
330 days to approval.
I wonder how quick you would get an approval if you submitted a paper for next February. I would imagine they would be pretty damn close to done with paper forms by then and MAYBE you could slip through quicker than the efiles?

Still pending at 200 daysSpoke with the atf, can is still pending at 94 days
No can for the ES gang.Spoke with the atf, can is still pending at 94 days
Spoke with the atf, can is still pending at 94 days
Current approval times are 220+ days and that time is continually getting longer. I bet approvals are pushing 300 days by the time you get processed.
You are probably right on that call!
I think so unfortunately
I am at 224 days and still counting for a suppressor on Efile using single shot trust, certified 9 March 2022.
anybody use Capitol Armory for silencers?? They seem to have a new scheme where if you live in an approved state in the end the can gets shipped directly to the customer. Curious how that's going, anybody use them chime in and give a report. Hopefully it's successful and faster??
I had a March 4th get approved at 223 days last Thursday so hopefully you’re up soon. I have 2 more March 14 because silencershop blows that I’m still waiting on and one May 4th I’ll be lucky to see before the end of the year

Capitol armory are great people and their direct ship process should be great and convenient but they’re still at the mercy of the atf for approval times like anyone else.

pending. at 215 days.
Still waiting on a paper form 4. Was submitted oct 2021. Approved at atf 9-16-2022. Still haven’t received stamp from snail mail at lgs. Waiting sucks
I feel like I am sitting in the back seat of a car saying "are we there yet?".
I can only hope! This waiting stuff sucks! It's not just the waiting stuff but the constant checking the email to see if I got a notification from the ATF.
I have several barrels that I've been waiting on my can stamp for, because why would I shoot them if my stamp will be here "in a couple weeks" and I'll have to re-do my dope? That's really the most annoying part.

Time to call my rep. 96 long days. They should pass a law that they must return $2 every day that goes by without approval. They would be quick to get them done.
I have 3 pending Eforms through SS. Was banking on 90days but it looks like I'm not even half way at 120.

I'm glad they are in march. I'm March 26th
I have two at 222 days. Hopefully soon now that they are finally processing march apps. Filed a paper app 9-20-2021, approved 10-20-2022. Been waiting over a month on the paperwork to show up.
I dont even think they were 90 days back 180 days ago lol
guys i hate to tell you but it doesn’t do any good to write our call your federal reps. been there done that. the ATF tells them the same thing they tell you when calling. “pending,be patient.” your typical government employees. they know they won’t be held accountable for their job performance.
Sure they were.. I had an approval June 2nd. It was certified February 1st.
122 days back then. Its been steadily climbing since then.. It was only 90 days around March approvals..
There seem to be a few people that it helped. Especially when the rep looked to find out where the problem was in the process for them.
