current ATF wait time

[Flipz]

Just called to check.

My osprey went pending 12/06
Just found out it was approved 07/12
Just waiting on the mail now.

Congrats! Youre gonna love it!

Ive had my Osprey9 for well over a year and take it to the range all the time.

Yeah I have 4 Form 4's that went Pending 2/6 and all 4 are now Pending Approval. Hopefully not to much longer now.

Picked up yesterday. 14 days from approval to the stamp being received.

I have to say, the extra weight hanging off the end of the barrel makes you appreciate the heft of a usp. It just feels more at home on that gun then it does on my glock 19

I run my Osprey9 on a USP9SD, G19, and P226 Elite. Out of the three, the P226 is my favorite host and seems to be the quietest too.

A 226 is next up for me. Currently have the usp, 19, an an fnx 9 as hosts. I haven't had a chance to shoot the usp suppresse yet. The other two are great. The fnx seems to have a bit more blowback then the 19.

After well over a year of shooting my P226 Elite suppressed I finally summoned the nerve to do a complete disassembly and cleaning of the frame. It was nasty, lol. Ive never had an issue doing this with other guns, but for some reason the P226 had me a little freaked out about doing a complete detailed disassembly. Obviously I was a little worried about being able to put it back together, lol. But, after watching a vid on YT I just went for it. And to be honest, it wasnt bad at all. Now its nice and clean, . Time to get it all dirty all over again .

The P226 is by far my favorite suppressor host. The USP9SD gets all the hype, but to be honest mine hasnt left the safe in a really long time. The G19 is my 3rd favorite but funny enough I shoot it suppressed much more than the USP9SD. Funny how that works out.

In the past Ive had a G17 and M&P9 as hosts as well. Wasnt a big fan of the M&P9, a lot of blowback and the trigger sucked. The G17 was just fine but it doesnt do anything the G19 cant. So I said bye bye to the M&P9 and G17, no regrets.

Just checked on my Suppressor today. Check cashed 3/19 went pending 5/22 was told to expect 9 months for approval. I find that hard to believe, NFA tracker is still showing about 180 days from mailing to approval. Here's to hoping NFA tracker is more accurate than the ATF.

NFA tracker shows what the expected wait was for folks who have already received their stamps. It's only really useful to show when you should begin to expect your stamp perhaps a few weeks before it comes in. It is in no way able to predict the current wait. What if the NFA branch got 10,000,000 forms on January 30th? The answer is that everyone on Feb 1st would have a much much longer wait that NFA tracker wouldn't show until your predicted wait time had already past.

The fact is that the NFA branch is just starting to get into approving forms that came in after Sandy Hook. NFA tracker is already trending up rapidly.

The ATF knows how many forms it does a day, it also knows how many forms it gets in per day. It's not hard to get a reasonable estimate of the expected time that will account for things like Sandy Hook where NFA tracker cannot.

Nice. That gives me some home since mine didn't go pending for two months after they cashed my check. I figured that was lost time but your times make me feel a little better.

You sure that pending date is correct? I sent a Form 1 SBR out in late November and it went pending in early December. I then sent another Form 1 in March of 13 and it went pending in early May. Is 5/16 when you first called?

That could be, but I don't really remember if that was the same day I called to check (after the first few months). I just have a notation on the file folder that it was the date which the nice ATF lady gave me over the phone when it went pending.

BTW, the check was cashed within 10 days of sending it to ATF.

Let's see, I have checks cashed on:
Uzi SBR Form 1: 12/27/2012
AMD-65 SBR Form 1: 2/13/2013

Uzi SBR stamp came in the mail yesterday, so that's about seven months? Forgot to check the approval date. Given that timeline, I'm REALLY glad that I got my AMD-65 form 1 in when I did... I want that done before October 1, if possible.

Filed a form 4 Glock SBR this past Wednesday (or was it Tuesday?); my FFL decided to file the form 2 and THEN the form 4, versus sending both at the same time. Some sort of change with the BATFE, so I'm given to understand. *shrugs* That'll definitely be post-October, but that matters way less with a form 4.

I've still got a couple SBRs on my long-term list (P556, PTR-32 PDW), but they pass the name and copycat tests, so they can definitely wait until after 10/1. Kinda tapped out on the spending, that's for damned sure... I'm looking forward to a couple years of just shooting and upgrading what I've got.

Damn, check was cashed on 12/6 and I still haven't got mine.

 

[erwos]

Damn, check was cashed on 12/6 and I still haven't got mine.

Might be time to call and see what's going on. Did you use a trust?

It's time to call. You should have it by now.

Yes, it was a trust.

Funny, I too am waiting on a SBR AMD-65 (mailed in March) and a Glock SBR (mailed in July). You're probably safer since your Glock SBR was put on a Form 2, we'll see what happens with mine on a form 1.

Emphasis on "should". I've sent in two form 1s on the same day and gotten one almost a month before the other, so it's still not a science over there.

STOP COPYING ME!!! But, yeah, I would definitely recommend using a form 4 for any SBRs at this point.

 

[Gummy]

I'm hoping that I get my stamps in August. Three suppressors and two form 1 SBR's. Checks were cashed on 1/8 &1/11. SBR's might be a little later. I made some boo boos on the paperwork .
