I’m curious as well. We should do a comparison sometime soon.

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY freed my Griffin Optimus from NFA jail today. Almost a year wait due to bureaucracy. Now, to mail in my Trump Bucks . . .

Congrats nice choice; I'm glad atf is at least approving somebody, I just had to send my 3rd correction to them. Maybe one day they'll finally send me good news.

I went the easy/lazy route with Silencershop and the unlimited single shot trust. This one was approved back at the beginning of March, but USPS lost my Tax Stamp en route from ATF to my dealer.

This was the first Suppressor I bought (wanted modularity to tide me over while the others were languishing in NFA jail), but the sixth one I've taken possession of, sadly. Dumb delays on both ends. Two more to go . . .

So, why does this actually take longer than NCIC? Are we going to see a significant reduction in process time fy19? Or are more people going to file making it about the same amount of time?

The point of NFA laws is to raise barrier of entry so high that the people willing to go through the process are on the margins. Gun mufflers comprise the vast majority of NFA Registries and probably number something like .25%-.35% of number of total firearms in private hands in the U.S. The scary part is that handguns were originally part of that legislation. "Full semi auto military style assault weapons" are a good target for the NFA too.

I don't see wait times dropping below 5-6 months anytime soon, if ever. With the additional budget and people that appears to have been granted to NFA branch, maybe we will get lucky, but who knows. In a way it is a good thing. It shows that more and more people are getting into the NFA game.

Lets face it, the $200 stamp fee isn't as cost prohibited as it once was. Therefore, more people are willing to spend the money for that item. Suppressors are the next COOL toy. Many are just now realizing how useful they can be too. I don't have the numbers, but I can only assume the applications are still coming in at near record levels. I think we will see 6-8 month time spans to receive your stamp. I can't see it getting any quicker, unless some hearing conservation Bill is passed in congress. Maybe after November, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Waiting patiently (so I keep telling myself) here too. Waiting for a Ruger Silent SR-ISB for my 10/22 Takedown.

I applied for my Individual form 4 at GymRatz through their Silencershop kiosk back in March (2018). Payment Cashed in May. So at this point, I should be about halfway through an approximate 200ish day wait. At this rate, I can take the ISB home sometime in October-Nov.

Here is to hoping and waiting.....

I hate waiting but this gives me hope that it’s getting close, I applied 12/6 check cashed 1/12 so I am hoping it’s close

When was your check cashed?
