    To the people who are seeing lower wait times... Did you use a silencershop.com kiosk and e-form process?

    I did the silencer shop kiosk for a form 4 individual. From what I understand is even though you input your info digitally, SilencerShop still does a paper form 4 on your behalf? Could be different for form 1 but I do know ss was not processing form 1 eforms at this time.

    My check was cashed 2/14/20 so I got a long way to go. I’m trying to forget about it but hearing guys with 300 plus day waits is driving my impatient self crazy.

    yeah, looking at 330ish days for a form 4 trust according it and 270ish form 4 individual.

    Stopped by the gun shop that has my can in jail to pick up the muzzle brake that came with it. The fella said he has been seeing some 4-5 month waits lately on the individual f4. Just to add to my torment lol.

    He did assure me the wait fore the omega is worth it though. I did get to fondle it a bit. I was very surprised at how small and light it seemed.

    so frustrating how the trust takes longer, even if youre the only person on the trust. Im currently at 9.5 months on a form 4 trust, on a dead air mask for crying out loud.

    next can, i just might go individual for better time return.

    Seems like wait times are falling, but still a lot of 300+ day apps waiting. Kind of an odd split, like one group started handing out <100 day stamps starting with July apps and currently around December, and a second group that was running 300ish days and is still working through May apps, wonder what will happen when they are caught up with the apps between the 2 date ranges, "normal" <100 day approvals?

    I just had magical batch of three Form 4's happen. Submitted one last August on a trust with just me as RP and then 2 as an individual in December. All three came back same day a week ago so a huge decline in time from my previous 3 Form 4's that all took a year and came in last November. There is definitely something going on that is not consistent person to person.

    It doesn’t help any that I’m seeing some 40 to 90 day approvals on individual form 4s. I really need to stay away from nfa tracker and there is also a Facebook page called struggling to cope with nfa wait time. Seeing some short approvals on there too and the guys who have been waiting 8-10 months Arnt happy about it.

    I'm at a little over 6 months. I seemed to get in between the groups of people with short approvals

    Because I was already having a crappy day. I decided to call the branch office. Still pending. Not assigned to an examiner.
