Yesterday and today I submitted (through dealer in Margate) 2 e-Forms 4, as individual, for DeadAir Mask and Rugged Obsidian 45.
Has anyone else here done this recently? How long did yours take to get approved? Silencer Shop's wait times chart shows median time to be 3 days... https://www.silencershop.com/atf-wait-times
Could this possibly be true? When I filed 2 form-4 on paper in 2020 they took 8 and 9 months to process. What has been your recent experience with electronic filing?
Yes there has been a revamp on how the ATF has been processing forms. Wait times are supposed to be drastically reduced and there has been many reports of this being true. I also have a can that just came into my dealer that I need to do the paperwork on this week. Also hoping for a fast approval!
There's a thread where we've been posting individual completion dates and if you look through it over time you'll see there have been some variations in how long it's taken in the past.
Bought a suppressor Dec 17, 2022. E-Formed, & waiting. I call ATF to find out what’s the delay, & she replies “it’s still pending”. I have 2 SBR stamps from 10 years ago when we all used a trust, & mailed them in. This is ridiculous. GARY.
Yesterday a friend applied electronically for a form 4. It was approved today, 26 hours later. WTF, mine took 15 months because the FBI misplaced it. GARY.
