Sweet setup. I actually have an LRM-169. Let me know if you want to hook up sometime and compare the silence
I’m curious as well. We should do a comparison sometime soon.

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?

Have to look back at the thread but if I recall, it was almost two weeks exactly that my check was cashed.

Dad got his can. Purchased 12/9/17, called Engage today and the paperwork was in "a few days ago". So we're looking at about 7 months to the day since sending the paperwork off.
When was his check cashed?

Not sure, he said he would look at the bank account tonight. He wasn't closely watching.
I purchased 12/6 check cashed 1/12, man I hate waiting and I have a second in the que a few months behind
Did I say I hate waiting?

Did you call the shop? For some reason we didn't get a call or a message got missed from Engage.
It’s gymratz and no I haven’t but I will Be In the morning
Probably just a bit out maybe? Idk but I do know I ready to play with my can!!
Assuming wait times are consistent with what they have been over the past 7-8 months, your stamp should be here any day now. Unfortunately Silencershop definitely experienced a slowdown during the Holidays, particularly in sending paperwork to BATFE. Even though I bought a Rugged Micro in December, the check didn't get cashed until the beginning of February. Apparently mid December and up purchases didn't go out until near the end of January (according to Silencershop), so I've probably got another 30 days of waiting to do on my Rugged Micro. Probably another 30 days after that for my Dead Air Wolverine . . .
On the bright side, that will be all 8 of the cans I purchased in the last year, and I am not expecting to be living in Maryland long enough to be able to buy anymore NFA items here. Probably for the best . . .

That's Great news !! Ruffly 6 months!! For some reason the last group I put thru felt faster even though they ran 11+ months. It's only 5 months this time around, and it feels like years.
