I know how you feel... My original SOT got audited by the ATF (won't ever use them again...For MANY reasons). I bought 3 cans 1 day apart. I bought 2 the first day, and then 1 the following day. My 2 that I bought at the exact same time on Silencer Shop (same order), got cashed at the same time, but were approved 3 days apart...Which I thought was weird, but whatever, the stamps showed up 8 months to the day, after purchase...No hiccups, everything went smooth as glass.
Hate to say it, but you still got a while... I've got 2 Sandman-S cans still pending, and the first was cashed on 4/9, and the 2nd one on 5/21. Called yesterday, still pending on the first one, so I didn't even ask about the 2nd one. Should be getting REAL close though...Obsidian 45
Order placed 5-13-21
Tax stamp cashed 5-24-21
Still waiting
332 days and counting

Is it even worth while calling in?
For you with a 5/24 cash date? No... Not for at least another 2 months, IMO. But it never hurts to call at least once and make sure it's still "Pending" and that everything is fine with your Form-4.
I have no idea. I had 4 items that were in my name on a form 4 that I moved to my kids trust. All those forms showed up in my mailbox 4 days before my dealer called me on the 2 supressors. I don’t know if that had anything to do with it.
And yet, I'm almost 11 months in on 2 Sandman-S cans, and already been approved for 3 other cans between middle of 2021 and Jan 2022... It's like, folks...I've already passed your background check 3 times in less than a year...What's taking so damn long?
Yes, you can purchase, and then have them send it to your local SOT. But your local SOT will have to email/fax a copy of their FFL/SOT (if it's not already on file with the online store) to the online dealer before they can Form 3 it to them. Then once it arrives at your local dealer, then you go in and do your SS paperwork on the kiosk from there.
It’s such BS. I too held security clearances in both mil and as a contractor but those extensive background checks are absolutely not considered in favor of some low level FBI civil servant doing a fucking computer database check on you.
You are completely correct. We have had dozens of customers since the e-file went live struggle with it in some way, proceed to take their anger out on us, demand a refund, and have taken business elsewhere. While on the dealer end it takes hours or usually days to hear back from either ATF or SilencerShop dealer sales to help resolve issues because everything is for the most part automated....
FFS...is there any type of appeal process or ability to get access to why no action so they can clear it up...whatever the fuck those assholes in ATF/FBI think is out there?
I had a buddy do it that was PCSing overseas. It took a letter and a copy of his orders showing a need to be expedited. There has to be a reason to expedite it for military service, or they won't do it.
So now I have to join the military? Man this supressor business is getting out of hand.
All you have to do is join and catch one of the upcoming trips to the com bloc to get your supressors expedited.
I just picked mine up yesterday. I don't remember the exact day, but it was early February 2021 when I purchased it through Silencer Shop and they efiled it for me.
I'm waiting to see (hopefully soon) the efiles come back. Especially the early ones. Rumor of the 29 day one, that would be very nice.
Order Placed - February 24, 2021
Haha, for sure, I have two of those already....
