I bought a can and it needs to be form 3'ed to Md. How long does it take for ATF to process a form3 currently?
2 weeks, 3% of the time.
Or was that 2 to 3 months 100% of the time.
Ive been waiting on a Form 3 since Feb 20.
OP, are you going trust or individual? I don't think you will make the cut off date for a trust. I hope I am wrong for your sake......
Individual.
My last form 3 from silencer shop took 2 weeks.
Doesn't Silencer Shop submit your form 4 two weeks after your form 3 has been filed? Even if your form 3 has not been approved.

No, your form4 is filed by your local FFL and they can't file the form until they have the form 3 and item in hand.
Not if you do the piwered by Silencershop. They take care of everthing.

I have not done this myself but that is how I read it. It has also been explained this way to me.
Your local FFL has to process your form 4. Silencer shop may handle the intial paperwork and take all the payments but they cannot process the form4. They partner with local shops to lower the transfer fees and handle the Form4 paperwork, hence the need to form 3 the item to the local FFL.
This is for the form 3 from the distributor to the MD dealer. After it gets to the MD dealer, then he has to form 4 the suppressor to me. It looks like I'll not see that suppressor until the new rules go into effect, eh?
