Suppressors Recent NFA wait times?....

I called ATF Friday and was told my paper work was approved on April 26, 13 months since my paper work was submitted. I hope Mile High gives me a call soon so I can pick up my new Thunderbeast.
 
Called today and Austin answered. My furthest out pending is from 7/24/18 and he said still pending and not assigned to an examiner yet. This is by far the longest I've waited for any of my cans.

Mine is 7/25/18 and it's my first can. Have another one in that I did during the shutdown but I'm honestly not concerned about how long that one will take. I just want my first can. :cry:
 
The shutdown effed us good on wait times, and soon they should be hitting that massive Silencerco promotion, if they haven't already, I imagine that will have quite an impact on wait times as well. My latest approval was cashed July 14, 2018, approved April 10th, and at dealer April 19th.

Mine still hasn’t shown up. So it isn’t slowing things down yet. I got a stamp for my maxim 9 almost a month ago, but I still haven’t received the free can
 
Continued from above and added info for 2nd item.

Went the Trust route.
For the Silencerco Hybrid
Form 4: Tax Stamp Cashed on 5/23/2018
Approved by ATF 3/15/2019
Picked up at dealer 3/23/2019

For the El Camino
Form 4: Tax Stamp Cashed on 7/10/2018
Approved by the ATF - 5/16/2019
Picked up at Dealer 5/28/2019

296 vs 310 days for approval so by my count wait times are increasing :(:poop:
 
Check cashed November 18, 2018, out of jail approval October 29, 2019, trust, looks like 345 days ... phone call from the gunshop a couple days ago.

 
Most recent ones were:

Check cashed 4/2019 & approved 12/14

check cashed 6/2019 & approved 9/2019

Got lucky on this one, called to see why other one was still held up “we process in order we receive them” .... had her repeat a few times before I asked about other one being “out of order”.

When in April was your check cashed? I haven't seen any approvals for pending dates past April 9th yet. 05/23 getting twitchy.
 
Here are some of the customers or people i nknow of that applied recently.

03/25/19 paperwork sent off
04/11/19 checked cashed
12/04/19 stamp was in hands of ffl

the longest wait time ive seen so far is one from 11/17. That guy still hasn't gotten his back. Most are right at 10-12 months with that shutdown before it was like 6-8 months. I have had two customers come back in 2 1/2 months this year.
