Opps! Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I edited my original post to correct it.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

If you had googled the phone number it said ATF with a link to this thread. I called it even though in my head it sounded wrong. I bet that guy will be happy you changed it. Funny unless your the owner of the number getting 900 calls a day yikes. PG

I certainly don't recommend this approach. I did exactly that and after 7 months finally got the urge to call and it wasn't even in the system. A follow up with my dealer didn't reveal anything until I called again in a couple of weeks only to find that the pricks had never sent the paperwork in and never followed up on it. They have 'supposedly' resent the forms but after a couple of weeks I'm still not seeing that the check has cashed. I'm certain after this I will never purchase anything that requires a form 4 again and certainly won't be spending any more money at this dealer.

Re: Form 4 wait time

Shortest wait in a while:

SBR on Form 1, pending March 6th, approved July 19th

Suppressor on Form 4, pending March 6th, approved July 17th

Just under 4.5 months. I was ecstatic. Didn't think I would see these until early Fall.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

My Huntertown Guardian 22 can (pending 2 March) was approved this morning (24 July) by Dudash...woot!!!
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

It looks like things with Sara Jones are picking up alot, there's one in NFA tracker from TX that went pending in early March and was approved in July, plus those above. Yay! Mine may be here in time for deer season.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

What's up with our Michigan examiner? Is no one from Michigan reporting data to the NFA tracker? There is nothing listed as papproved in Michigan for months.

I know I have seen posts from people who have recently recv'd thier stamp but the NFA spreadsheet is depressing when sorting by state.
 
Re: Form 4 wait time

Who knows with MI. I took my form 4 almost 7 weeks to go pending after I sent it in the first week of Feb.

So about a full year wait, and both cans pending the same day is suspicious of either weird coincidence or an up coming cluster fuck.
Fwiw I called BATFE, and they estimated late January

Re: Form 4 wait time

I just got an email today from the dealer that it FINALLY came back. I paid for it and sent it in around the beginning of January. I'll go pick up my SDN-6 this weekend and try it out and get back to 'ya!

On another note, I'll be filling out the forms for the integral Mk3 my wife (and I!) want in hopes of getting it by next January.

That wait is just ridiculous. Just like the military, just like the VA (well, VA works in terms of years or even decades). Just imagine what would happen if they were, uh, NOT efficient!

edit:

So Mrs. Snook was the official, and it took almost six months to the day for it to come back.

The SDN-6 shoots nice, real nice on the .300BLK with subs. The main reason I got it. It sure reduces the blast on the M4, it has that Brakeout which is kind of loud without the suppressor, to the point you just get the sonic crack for the most part. For the size, it works amazingly well. The baffle stack is only like 3".

Downside? You have to lap the mounts individually to fit the suppressor, unless you luck out and get one that fits right away. I have four, and two are almost there, one is a good ways from latching, and one locks on normal with virtually no discernable movement.

I've since fixed one, the tack driving 6.5G, and it locks up super tight, which is a relief. My next ones will be an integral Mk3 and thread on for a Barrett MRAD most likely. Seems this SDN-6 works really well for everything smaller --provided it fits the mounts.

If you are reading this and thinking about an SDN-6, wait and get the SR5 or 7 or whatever they call it and go with the 90t mounts instead. 3rd times usually the charm.

I just got home from the dentist. Why is it that the six months between dentists visits goes by so fast and the same six months waiting on a suppressor goes so slow?
