Jesus.
I remember thinking 90 days was a long time when I did my first bunch a few years ago.
How many years ago? I got my first in 2013 and that took 7 months.

I bought three suppressors in early 2016 just before the 41F rule went through (I think my last check was cashed within a week of when it started to be enforced). The first one was about 90 days IIRC, and the second two were a little longer than that.
Individual or trust. Trusts take longer...which is what I am waiting for...

actually was reading on another forum that they had to let all the contractors go during the shutdown and have hire all new ones and train them. speculation is that it could stretch to 12 to 18 months for approvals
i decided to pop my nfa cherry last weekend with a 22lr can from Thunder Beast arms. I figure that if the speculation holds true it will make a nice 40th birthday present for me NEXT year... FML

I just actually got an email this past Saturday morning at 4am stating I was approved for an SBR. I submitted my paperwork work a week and a half when the government shutdown

I just did one yesterday. I was hoping I didnt have to pretend I bought it with next years tax return.

Ordered my Silencers thru Silencershop back at the end of June 2018. Called the gun store a few weeks ago and still nothing. I did the *Buy one get one free* deal. Still no word on my free silencers. I called Silencerco and emailed them and eventually heard that their goal is "to get all the free silencers out by march."

So like anything else government related, they’re quick to take from you but take their time giving you anything in return...

I wish mine was approved before I sent it in lol
Ever have problems on NICS checks? Long waits like that are often indicative that you're in FBI BG check hell.

So here's my wrap up with my NFA request for SBR.
April 28, 2018 purchased my SBR
May 15, 2018 check was cashed for NFA
February 14, 2019 NFA approved
February 26, 2019 FFL received approval
Waiting for Marylands 7 day waiting period.
This will be last for this topic.

It happens. Just made me laugh cause we all wish approval time worked like that.
