I’m ready to start seeing these eform approvals. That 4-6 wait time is more than likely going to be 8-10 months.
Happy for you.... also kind of sucks for us because it looks like the 10 month wait has gotten longer and is now a year. I have a Nomad-LT, R6, and a Oculus in jail.... Bought em August I think, and check was cashed first part of September or maybe end of August. Going to be a while yet I suppose.
I sure hope mine is close.
Purchased Feb 20, 2021
Check cashed 3/12/2021
Still waiting...
Mine was finally approved!
Check cashed: 3/13/2021
Approved: 1/28/2022
Who knows how long until the damn shop calls me to come get it.

Nice! I’m sadly two months out from my Ultra 9 G2. My Check was cashed May 12.
Still waiting on the call to come pick up my DA Mask. How long did yours take to get to the dealer after it was approved?
Called the ATF and the nice person told me that my stamp was approved January 13th. Now to track down my FFL who moved.
Mine took just shy of a year. I want a 556 can but not waiting another year. I’ll probably end up with a form 1 can from quiet bore. My 22 can from them with form 1 took 17 days. I had the kit 3 days after ordering
Hopefully it’s not like the ffl renewals, supposedly the atf had printing issues and are almost 6 months behind on doing renewals alone.

Two Form 4 approvals
State ~TX
Items ~TBAC Ultra 7 and Ultra 5 Gen 2
Purchased ~Feb 10 2021
Check cashed ~Mar 09 2021
Approved ~Jan 15 2022
Stamp Arrival ~Feb 09 2022
Wait from purchase to take home ~364 days
One day shy of a year and I was told to expect approval by Halloween when they cashed the check. Nearly 3.5 months longer than estimated. I had almost forgot that I had even purchased them and it's sad to say that I am not even that excited about it. With ammo shortages and prices I have cut way back on my shooting habits/routine so who knows when I'll make time to get out and break them in.

Signature date on the Tax Stamp is Jan 20. Post mark date on the envelope is Jan 31st so I guess 313 days to approval, 11 days to mail the stamp, 5 days to delivery, and 2 days to notification
Sounds about right, my latest ones took 3.75 weeks from time of approval to getting the call from the dealer. That was 1/12th of the entire wait lol.

I called yesterday. Still pending from 3/11/2021 check cashed. Absurd.
In asking around at local shops they are seeing last Febs show up so looking like 12 months is the current norm.
3 of my 5 are back now... My 4th should arrive either this month or next, and then the 5th, the following month.
Got the call from my dealer to come pick it up TODAY. FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY. I called last week and ATF people said pending (STILL?? See quote above). So I don't know why or what that is about.
Check cashed 3/4
SS Trust
Approval on 2/5 per my stamp.
348 days to get my Nomad-L in my hand.
Time to hit the range!

Hmmm my stamp was approved 1/29, still no stamp at my dealer. Wtf
You're going to love that Nomad-L... My Nomad-LT is the quietest can I've ever heard in person. I know that new TBAC Magnus is supposed to be quieter, but not by enough for me to run out and grab one right now. I will eventually. But for now, my Nomad-LT works awesome for a PR and hunting can. It's also ridiculously quiet on my .300 BLK with subs.
It took 3.5 weeks for mine to arrive to my dealer after approval. I am convinced that they mail out in bulk weekly.
Yeah, mine must have been left out. I keep seeing people getting their stamp and were approved after mine. Over a year wait is frustrating.
Oh well… bitching to the choir
Edit: picked it up 2/15 (today)

Haha, exactly. The entire game sucks and it doesn't appear to be getting any better. My two took 364 days in total. Hang in there, you should be getting a call any day now.
Well calling is complete BS i was told on 2-8-22 that it was pending thats all they could tell me. Not assigned to examiner or anything just pending and my dealer recieved the stamp today.

You do realize that the person taking the calls isn't an examiner, they're just basically a secretary with a screen and a keyboard in front of them...
You have to ask if it has been assigned to an examiner, and if not, can you speak to an examiner. They're not going to just offer it up, because the examiners are busy. Not justifying it, just stating how bureaucracy works.
We shouldn't have to be jumping through ANY of these hoops to begin with, but our ancestors gave up their rights (and our rights) in 1934 to stop the gangsters, when the problem would have never been created, had the government not fucked around and banned alcohol in the first place...Prohibition. Lesson for the day... Government fucks up everything it involves itself in...Especially rights and freedoms.

Got 3 back last week same day, same approval date.
Tax stamp cashed dates of 4/13/2021, 7/13/2021, 11/17/2021.
All 3 are the shortest I have ever waited, even during "good" times I always waited 11-14 months.

Jesus. Talk about the golden batch approval. Sweet deal.
Actually make that 4 now.
Just got 1 back today that check was cashed 11/22/21 and approved 2/1/2022.
All paper forms now approved, just waiting on 5 e-files....
I heard the same thing... I am also about a month in on my wait. Even if I don't get around the 29-day mark like that one person did. 90 days is a hell of a lot better than 320 days like other people have waited.
If you’re referencing the thread on ARFCom, it was a military expedite.
Not sure how this individual did it, but I had a friend write up an MFR and had our commander sign it before we deployed last year and sent it to the ATF. He had his can approved a week later.
I hope this is true! What forum did you guys get this info from? I haven’t seen any news at all yet.
Was on rokslide. Just one report and it was the guys shop not the actual guy posting but it’s plausible!
My timing must have been bad.
My last Form 4 was submitted Jan 2021.
It was approved thirteen months later in Feb 2022.
