    I keep hearing about a trend that people with a clearance are being held up for ~3 months while commoners are getting it within a week. Congrats govies on being punished for being a govie by other govies.

    I'm a Fed with no clearance and I'm closing on 6 weeks on an individual Form 1

    Gov Contractor with clearances, last can was 4.5 days and form 1 was 25 days. Just submitted another form 1 today. We'll see if this one is under a month.

    My Form 4 under an Individual Trust was received by ATF on 19April2024 and was approved yesterday (04Sep2024). So 138 days (about four and half months) from receipt to approval which is a lot faster than my experience in the past. I now have to figure out when I can get to Engage and pick up the can! I'm busy this weekend but I hope I can make some time to get there during the week.

    I'm calling Andy Harris today. I'm just about to cross their average wait time
    Good luck, it should get the ball rolling here is a copy of the tax info release form they need when inquiring about your tax stamp with the ATF. They accepted a scanned copy to the email of his aid that handled my inquiry.

    Form 4 Trust with one other RP

    Submitted April 23, 2024
    Approved September 5, 2024

    Ordered through SilencerShop and it took a month for the approval to ship to Engage!!!! Emailed ATF and FBI on August 15 inquiring. Got the generic response it’s still in process. Got a little birthday gift this morning seeing the email I was approved. Might mess around and submit an individual to see how fast it comes back.

    Lucky, did you use the Eform 4 at a kiosk? Or just a regular form 4? I need a 7.62 can I think.
    I use Silencer Shop to run customers and my paperwork. Right now I’m seeing 5 or less days on individual 4s and 2 months on trust 4s. I ended up with an extra can and had to buy a gun for it. First world problems

    Is there any point to the trusts anymore? I have one but my last 2 purchases were individuals.
