You need to game the system and buy an NFA item every month. At the end of (whatever time period) you get one a month!

I'm sorry.

Did you submit yourself or go through a service?

form 1's seem to be moving! I gotta get my second one squared away for a handgun can.

I'm thinking it must be local areas that they process at a time. Seeing everyone in our region has been getting many back from a 3-4 month difference in submissions.

I also had my Tarot Cards read recently so I know what I'm talking about!

Went to Silencer Shop on Thursday.

Ordered a SilencerCo Sparrow.

They said wait times were floating around 5-6 months but it could be way longer.

I went with their single shot trust for what its worth. I can't speak to their kiosks, but the guys at the main shop in Austin TX were top notch and super helpful. They also track all their forms and keep an update on their website for wait times based on the paperwork they have submitted. Not sure on the numbers but the sales guy was saying that 70% of the paperwork has been being pushed through them as of late with their digital forms and they have some clout with the ATF. I guess I'll see.

Silencer Shop was on the leading edge of using the digital barcodes on the paper forms. All the ATF has to do is to scan the barcode and all the information is entered instantly with no risk of a typo.

Beavercreek Armory is a kiosk location for Silencer Shop. I used it for my first Form 1 submission. It takes about 10 minutes to scan you finger prints. After that I downloaded the Silencer Shop app on my phone and took a mugshot of myself. Easy peasy.

A couple months later when I decided I wanted a silencer, I called them up. They keep the finger prints and photo for six months. All I had to do was say "I'll take it" and 30 minutes later I had a Form 4 in my email completed and ready to sign.

Silencer Shop really seems to have their act together. They have made submissions easy and I highly recommend them.

It can be very easy anymore. I have used Capital Armory (Austin TX) a couple of times now. They also have my prints and mug shot on file. I can buy from them and they do all of the paperwork, send it to me to Doc U Sign and send me hard copies to submit. Very simple process.

 

[ConcernedCitizen]

I'm new here and doing my first SBR. Does It seem like the Form 1 approval times are a bit shorter than form 4 or am I losing my mind hoping to see it back by the end of this year?

Based on what I've read recently, you are correct.

Form 1s seem to be running around 4 months, and Form 4s are around 6-7 months.

Just ordered a Rugged Obsidian 45 from silencershop. Now the wait begins.

"your application was received by the ATF and the check was cashed on 7/30/2018"

I purchased and submitted on the 19th. So thats ~11 days. Would love a 3 month turn around.

 

[Member 34319]

Don't get too excited, my eleventh month starts here shortly.

Mine was cashed just 7 days after the paperwork was mailed, first week of May. No sign of anything from them yet. I'm guessing December is a likely time, so I may get some fun Christmas gifts. If I tell myself that, I won't get as worked up as I could

Most are taking between 180 to 200 days for approval/stamp return according to my local SOT...

6-7 months...
