OT: eForms and getting a can

[aTotal360]

Has anyone actually had their wait shortened by using the new eForms?

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I probably can't help, but the odds that I might be able to increase significantly if I knew what type of "can."

Trash?
Beer?
Tin?
Pe?
****?
Peli?
Mexi?

I was actually at my local shop last Thursday and he mentioned that people were getting their paperwork back in less than a month where it used to take 4-6 months.

I’m eight months in with 2 purchases and nothing.

I have 2 cans. Did the paperwork sat and waited till they came in. 6 months on the first one and 5.5 on the second one. Waiting on a 3rd with E file and I’m about 90 days in.

I’m 10 months in and have heard nothing. I call my shop about once a month to check, and nothing

Calling to check doesn’t help you. They don’t know anything that you don’t know. You can call the ATF directly and ask, but I wouldn’t. I waited right at 11 months on the last two I bought, but that was four years ago. Supposedly, they are catching up on their backlog and wait times are getting shorter. There’s no rhyme or reason. It’s literally up to the person who picks your paperwork up from the stack. Some are good and motivated. Some, not so much. I always told folks to buy the suppressor, apply for the stamp and then forget about it.

I personaly know people that have had approvals in under 4 months.

Silencer Shop is your friend on keeping up with the current processing times.

Another good place to look is the NFA sub reddit.
reddit/NFA

My experience on paper form 4s, when you are getting a month so before the average wait time call the NFA at (304)616-4500. Don't directly ask them how much longer but ask if all the information on your form is complete and if they have everything they need. Never fails the next week I would get an email saying I was approved.

That's who my orders are with. Good tip on the call. I'll try that. Thank you, sir.

That’s really good advice.

I am waiting for the day they are removed from the NFA. I really want one, but not enough to get on a list with the ATF.
