Looks like we need to have two separate email accounts now? I guess they want us to have to check both for fun?

that’s a sexy looking combo right there. congrats on the stamp.
Checked several control numbers in our system. Our latest control number with approval is 2022327796 (10-21-22). 2022322368 (10-19-22).
On Oct 3 we have a control number 20232800, and Oct 31st we have one with control number 202354426. Interesting. Maybe I'll put together a little spreadsheet.
I think we have just over 100 this year.

This is my first NFA item, so I still feel pretty clueless.
Does the control number give an idea as to where you are "in line"?

Not from what I am seeing. The Avg right now is about 235 days from certification. You've got at least another Month, probably 2 or 3..
Just got the second one.

Got the call today boys! My R6 has been approved....
I believe this is the last paper form 4 or the first efile, but if it was efile then I'd have gotten the stamp emailed to me right?
Submitted 9/21/2021- SS kiosk dealer
Stamp received 11-08-2022
How pathetic that it's nearly 14 months!

correct. efile approvals are emailed from atf directly to you, and your dealer.
Yeah I thought that was how they did it. Roger that.
Picked up my Wolverine PBS-1 today and swapped the collar to mount it on my Zpap. Can’t get to the range until Thursday but it sure looks good. 
Just picked up two the other day

Big Brother buys and approves your cans weeks before you even order them!
Yeah I have an April one as well. Pretty excited about picking up my R6 today though still.... can't wait to get my 2 back from ecco machine!
You still have about 200 days at least.
Wait what? I thought it was 45 days from approval that the ATF had to mail the stamp out?
You do, he thought you meant certified.
My bad, I thought you meant certified.
Bought on 9/11/21- atf said they cashed the check in dec but I called today and was told it was approved on oct 31- thats 415 days for a paper form 4 from last September.
Mine that I just got was like 14 months on a paper form 4
Paper form 4 for trust. Purchased 11/16/21. Approved 10/27/22. Received 11/8/22.
Got all excited about maybe getting mine this week, then realized that today is a federal holiday so it won't be until at least next week 
Purchased Oct 17th 2021 under a trust and paper form 4. Check cashed 2 weeks later. Just got an email yesterday that the ATF approved it. Almost 13 months, but it's getting sent straight to the house after the Sheriff is notified. SilencerCentral and a .45 Banish. My last two took about 7 months, so this was significantly longer.
do you get an email showing approval? or does your ffl call you and let you know youve been approved? mine was certified 3/18/22 and this is my first one. so im a little lost.
damn near 8 months on the dot.
someone said before add 2.5 days of wait to the current approval time it you are after that person. i'm two weeks after you, so i likely have another 49 days.
Aft will send the approved forms to you and the dealer via email.
Yep, me and the dealer CC'd on the same email.
No updates, just sitting at Day 181 for my first eForm... Certified 5/17/22...
november reddit mega thread has approvals for dates 3/16-3/17 as of yesterday. 243 days for me
As we get to the holidays do you think federal workers will become less or more efficient?
We're barrelling towards 10 month wait times. Won't change for the better with Dems getting all 3 key portions of the legislative and executive branch
Just an FYI on that thread it seems that eFile Form 1 is only taking 75 to 85 days from what I gather..
it hard to imagine them getting less efficient than they always been. but it’s the federal government, anything and everything is possible. just when i think they’ve reached the height of incompetence, they go above and beyond their ability to fuck shit up.
That is a neat dashboard for data nerds, but even regular nerds can see the wait time trend
Very informing,am at 240 so maybe next week
Approved at 244 days for me.

congrats man. hope you have lots of fun with the new toy.
eForm 1 might be getting better. I just got one approved Nov1 and it was only 28 days.
Thanks brother! It's a SilencerCo Omega 36M so excited to play with the different configurations on several of my rifles.
I've been reading similar all over the internets......I just completed my first F1 paperwork (SBR, filed as individual) last night and I'll be mailing my fingerprint cards today on my lunch break.
One thing I haven't been able to find--are F1 suppressors being treated the same way as SBRs or are those still taking as long as F4s?
