NFA Tracker - Current wait time estimator for NFA submissions

Picked up my first suppressor Friday. 254 day approval for eform 4 via Silencer Shop. Electronic fingerprints and just me on a trust.

I have another one pending currently at 249 days.

Nice! This is the same wait time I have been seeing from multiple sources eform 4. Bummer it's gone up so much. I had a few approve at the 3 month wait when it fist rolled out.

216 days and going on my eForm 4...

Funny that BATF says 180 days is the norm for eForm 4.

I just called my 'can guy', and he is receiving stamps for March - April right now. Since mine is May, I'm probably looking at another 30 - 60 days, with the holidays and all.

Form 4 individual paper
Check cash 11/10/21
Approved 11/3/22
Picked up 12/9/22

I think my stamp had been sitting at the dealer for a little while. Never got a call. Glad I called the ATF and then checked with my dealer today.

Surprise surprise the e-form wait time is similar to the paper wait time. This has got to be intentional. Why can't you check an electronic database for submissions from the same person/trust and mass approve?

Form 1 efile - 12/21/22
Approved - 01/26/23

36 days.

Submitted e-form on 05/20/2022. Approved, e-mail notification and pick up today 02/04/2023. 260 days. LaRue M308.

Re BGC for pistol. FFL released a new to me pistol after 3 days. I was still 10000+ in the que. Won't say who it was. They specifically requested I not disclose that. Will gladly comply with their wishes. Thank you....

It's been an good week.

I'm a FFL/SOT and do e form submittals for suppressors regularly. Though it was much faster for a while, the last few have been approved in just under 9 months. Hoping all of the brace submissions doesn't slow down new submittals much.

Submitted my form-1 today. With the silencer shop trust, do I engrave my name or the full trust name?

eForm 4 submitted 7/12, approval received 4/16. 279? days.
I've made the mistake of following the Reddit thread on r/NFA and seeing people in September getting approvals in bulk was REALLY frustrating.

I only have one more Form 1 (submitted 2/22) that I'm waiting for. Based on trends, it could be today or in June.
I did get a response from the FBI on the relative value (or lack thereof) of the UPIN. I've noticed no change whatsoever in my approval times even using my UPIN vs. not. Sucks.

Fist wait till you get approved. And depending on how you submit depends on what you engrave. It's ok to ask around but take that with a grain of salt and do your research. I just say that because of laws and info online is not something you should put your full trust into. And when I'm doubt you can ask a lawyer that's specifically does this kind of thing.

The majority of eform 4 I have seen lately are now coming in from last July currently.

I talked to silencer shop, they said full trust name.

If it's a trust the full trust name . One word of advice I like to tell people is when create the trust immediately rename it to "your initials" and "trust" . Otherwise youl have "blah blah blah revocable living trust" . Lawyers and software like to do that but it doesn't matter and the ATF doesn't care. Before you use it and add anything to the property schedule rename it to make it as short as possible. You'll be glad you did.

How do you rename a trust? Is it too late if I certified my form-1?

It's too late at this point. You literally just turn it into a word doc and before it's notarized rename it on the declaration page
