So through a dealer it is taking roughly 3-4 months to be approved for a suppressor/SBR when you e-file?

Yeah it is looking like that. The big question is if it is going to hold at that or if as more people efile the wait times will get longer. I did speak to someone at the NFA branch and they indicated they are going to be trying very hard to keep e forms under 4 months to entice people to efile because it makes their lives much easier.
Exact same deal here. Thanks Stuart! Kinda curious to see how the wait times change in the next few months. My first form 4 came back in 3 months 3 days. This one took 3 months 12 days and was submitted only about a month after the first.

It gets emailed to you and you print it off.

Judging by NFAtracker.com when I sorted by E-form submissions. It looks like the October 20-28ish is clearing January 20-28, looks likes its running right at 4months
Just got this. I haven't had a form 4 approved in a few weeks. The system has been messing up for the last few weeks and now they are going to be bringing it down for four hours each day. Our tax dollars at work.
Good afternoon:
As you are aware, eForms has had performance issues for the past three weeks. We are diligently working with experts in the field to resolve the issues. Until we can get the issues resolved we will be implementing automated restarts of the server at 4:00 am, 9:00 am, NOON, and 3:00 pm eastern time. We have determined that the restart of the servers clears *stuck threads* on the servers and improves the overall performance of eForms. We realize that the unscheduled restarts were disrupting your workday and this will allow you to plan around the scheduled restarts.
Restarts will take approximately one hour to complete during which time eForms will not be available. Again, this is only a temporary measure until a more permanent solution is implemented.
Again, daily restarts of the eForms servers will be conducted daily at the following times until further notice:
4:00 am – 5:00 am
9:00 am – 10:00 am
NOON – 1:00 pm
3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Finally, Pay.gov has notified us that they will be upgrading their system on Saturday, February 22, 2014, from 6:00 PM to Midnight Eastern Time. Pay.gov has advised us that systems using pay.gov will experience a service outage during this period. This means that you will not be able to pay the tax for the eForms 1 and 4 during this time period. Forms can be created and saved to your draft folder until the upgrade is completed and the taxes can be paid.
Thank you for your patience as we try to improve eForms.

I was just reading that email. I can't believe that BS. Wait, yes I can.
