Damn, I don't understand how there can be such a large swing in time from approval to forms received.

methos12: approved march 4, received April 1: Almost a full month lag?
vs
pangelos: approved March 28, received April 2nd: 5 days later? What the french toast.
 
That was partly my fault and partly my dealer. He is slammed with work and received mine by mail sometime prior to that but I didn't call the ATF to see what my status was until late in the month (giving exactly 6 months). When I found out it had been approved nearly 3 weeks prior I called my dealer, but he had been out of town for a week so the 1st was the first time we were both available. I wouldn't have had time to hit the range prior to that anyway so it worked out.
 
Pending 16OCT2012
Error 02APR2013 dealer forgot to sign forms

The wait continues.....Should I expect about two weeks from error date for a completion do you think?
 
6 Months and 4 days was the final tally. They are finally home safe.

Purchased from Silenced America. Those guys effin rock.

Pending 10/2/12
approved 3/29/13

Error Letter Received: 3/18/2013(aprox)
Corrections received to NFA: 3/22/2013
Approved: 4/3/2013

The Error was due to me printing out 2 one sided pages rather then double sided. I was able to get it all corrected and sent out express mail within a day or so of receiving it. Completly my fault I should have read through all the little notes on their site but luckily it worked out I have been a nervous wreck the last two weeks what-ifing wondering if I screwed something else up too lol. Now I just have ot wait on the stamp to get to my dealer hopefully before the week is out I will have my 30P-1 all mounted up.

I recently sent all of my trust documents off to them. Can you tell me what amendments had to be made to yours or what the problem was?

Yea he was getting tired of waiting and I can understand. I have 3 more waiting on Form 4's and 2 waiting on Form 3's so I can transfer them to Texas.
 
Yeah, it's been over a month and my latest hasn't even gone pending. That is WAY worse than it used to be. I was kinda hoping it would be better this time, not worse.

Ordered 9/1/12
Form 4 Sent 9/25/12
Approved 3/14/13
Got the call 4/16/13 Stamp in, not sure why the delay
Picked up this morning
 
FINAL UPDATE: Stamp Received!

- TBAC 30P-1
- Individual
- Purchased Nov 27, 2012 from RangerWalker71.
- Arrived at local dealer Feb 8, 2013
- Paperwork to sheriff's office Feb 8, 2013
- Paperwork back from sheriff April 16, 2013 (El Paso County, Colorado, sheriff's office flooded with applications for concealed carry. The last item I submitted to him was turned around in four days.)
- Mailed to NFA Branch 17 April 2013.
- Arrived Atlanta 19 April 2013.
- Check processed 24 April 2013.
- Requirement for new fingerprint cards received by dealer 4 December 2013. (This has happened before. Old, thin, dry skin equals really bad prints.)
- New cards mailed 7 Dec 2013.
- Approved Form 4 received by dealer 14 Feb 2014.
- Picked up suppressor 15 Feb 2014.

According to my math, the total time from purchase to possession is 14.5 months.

Bummer that your local sheriff office takes so long to sign off. Most of mine are done same day.


I picked up the last suppressor I was waiting on a few days ago. This is the first time since march of last year that I am not waiting on the ATF. I guess it is time to start the process again. Lol.

I have seen big gaps in transfer times in my area. I just had a pair approved in five and a half months where my buddy just got one back the other month after an eight month wait, plus he had one take the same time last year.
