    Just got 6 Form 4's for my silencers back this evening at one time. First one submitted 7/10/2022 to the last dated 10/27/2022. Looks like they may be approving them in batches, not that I am complaining about finally getting them back. All marked approval on 4/10/2023. Looks like I will be taking some time off of work to pick them up, LOL.

    May 10th will be 10 months exactly for my 4 form wait time. This is bs after getting on at the beginning of last year in 102 days. Looks like it’s ack to the regular wait times of over a year now. Efile ain’t worth a sh$t.
    I filed August 20th 2022, mine came in April 18th last month. 9 months is B.S. but what can you do? The gun store told me 90 days but ended up being close to 250….. May the 22nd was supposed to be my 270th day… 3 months compared to 9 months is totally dumb… We have super computers on our wrists, in our pockets, and our laps but they can’t process something on a computer in less than 30 days???? It’s just part of the game…. Then I saw on YouTube that there are people in congress trying to make them illegal to own now… What the heck??? Always something!!!

    Any way you can check the status on eforms website to see if there’s any issues going on. I don’t see anything like that to see if there’s an issue or do I just call them. I wouldn’t think there’s a problem being I am already in system and have class 3 toys already.
    How long has it been?

    I just received two paper form 4s today. These were for two suppressors from a buddy.
    Submitted 6-2-2022
    correction letter sent 3-6-2023
    buddy's wife sits on them for a month and forgot to tell him
    atf examiner calls and asked if he was going to do corrections or cancel. Gives us one more month to get the forms back to her.
    That was luck!
    forms sent in 4-26-2023
    approved 5-3-2023
    Got them today

    I think the wife needs some corrective training….. How in the world could she do that knowing the severity of the situation??? Time to induct her into the slapahoe tribe….. Just sayin…..

    I talked to my dealer Saturday. He also said average of 260 days plus. My last one I got took 15 months.
