Nfa wait time

[KillStick]

I just got of the phone with the NFA about my suppressor, not happy. I went pending July 5th, they just said that it should be completed in January. This was after I was told that it should be done in November.

When did you send your forms in? All of mine have taken 6-7 months from the day I send my forms away. I have found it best to send them in and "forget about them" for 6 months. My last one came in about 2 weeks before I expected to, and that made for a nice surprise when Andrew of Profire sent me a PM. It seems the more you call and anticipate the more impatient you become.

Keep in mind that the contractors that the ATF had hired to help the examiners had contracts that ended on Sept 30th. With the new fiscal year the ATF does not know if they have the budget to rehire the contractors....

I'm in the same boat. I've got a bad ass 9mm AR sitting in my safe with a pistol receiver extension, that in my opinion, renders it useless. Best to just sit back, and put it out of your mind.

Last time I talked to them they said should be November I went pending July 5 th .

There is no instant gratification when dealing with class 3... best to just learn patience.

7+ months on 4 form 1 for SBRs

Surprising enough I got a call today from 21st century firearms and my suppressor was ready, can you say excited?

 

[wsenefeld]

Hoping to start my paperwork (for the first time) at the end of the month. Excited but know it'll be a long wait before I get to take the can home.

NFA usually gives a longer ETA than what it really takes.

^^^^ THIS!!

I went pending the exact same day. I called a couple of weeks back and was told end of december or early january. Guess what, my forms showed up yesterday! 6 months door to door, 5 months from pending.

i'm still waiting after 5 months

 

[Steve B]

Been waiting 9 months so far since I bought a can not in stock from a shop. Absolutely ridiculous for a safety device. Just one more example of the inefficiency of our government and it's criminal behavior.

 

[Hornett]

What I did is bought the can first.
Then I can casually pass the 6 or 7 months finding a suitable 9mm handgun with threaded barrel and a decent source of 147 gr hollow point sub sonic ammo.
You can kill 6 months pretty easily looking for that stuff and it makes the wait for the suppressor seem shorter.

Just don't get mad at your dealers. They don't have control over the NFA process at the federal level. Patience is a virtue in the NFA field. Sellers appreciate their buyers understanding, trust me.

Not the dealers fault at all. The government, now that's a different story.
