How long does it usually take from approval to when the dealer receives the stamp? I called today and it was approved 8/29 but the dealer has not received the stamp yet.

Mine was approved 8/26 and I got the call 9/6 for pickup.

ETA: also paper form4. Total wait was 13 months from check cashed to approval

ATF is by far the most atrocious waste of money ever. I'm at 330 days so far since check was cashed.

Just got the e-mail my E-Form 4 was approved. 201 days since submission.

Got a call from my FFL it was ready only 19 minutes after the e-mail from the ATF, so they are very prompt.

That blows...for me. I am at 92 days. When I purchased 91 was the median. Guess it will be Decemberish...maybe.


You certified the day before I did my second can if my math is correct. 6/13, right?

Silencer Shop status page now shows 73 days to 6 months for approvals over the last 7 days. Was showing 6 months to 6 months. Would be cool if things are catching up but not quite holding my breath yet until I see that median time start coming down.

ETA: The above is for eForms. For paper, it shows 9-13 months with a median of 13. Median came down by a month for paper. It was at 14 a few days ago.


It shows 2 days to 6 months now. I believe that the median won't go down until their # of approved per week increases back to what it was… they're only approving 2-2.6k/ week, where the used to do 3.5-4.5k

Today is 190 days for me on two eform 4s, and 185 days on two more….and 36 days on an eform 1.

Haven't had a form 1 take this long in a while either.

I'd have to look, I think 17 days was my fastest F1 too.

Always interesting to watch the aft ineptitude crank up like clockwork every time the dems are in charge.

Bought two silencers in March 2021. 1 came in April - still no sign of the second.


Still waiting for mine (March 2021)...


Still waiting for mine (March 2021)...sitting at 496 days...absolutely ridiculous!


After 519 days, I finally received my stamp. That is all...good day!

You've got to be close… I've been seeing mostly 3/1-3/3 this week on Reddit. Are you 3/9?

Two on 3/9, another two on 3/14

Eta: they're going to approve them while I'm at my nighttime run and gun (the whole reason i got off my butt and bought cans in the first place). Just to spite me.

I'd keep that mentality for Nov as well. 220+ days are starting to roll in on Reddit. I genuinely think my 6:14will be 300+ unless they get through the paper forms soon…. But they're still on 9/21 paper forms, so even that will be a while

Probably a true timeline, luckily this can is just a pistol that I didn't need but wanted! I did just start the wait all over again for a new lightweight rifle can, AB Raptor 8! That one likely won't be in until next October at the earliest!

No, the ATF is still working paper forms from before July 2020......

ha wow. Went from "approval in 90 days or even less!" to taking more time than a paper form. Only a gov agency as sideways ****ed as the ATF could take a digital process and make it less efficient than stacks of paper getting mailed around.
