I know the CCL is state, but I had to go through an FBI background check to get it. This is just stupid.
I agree. For me on Form 1's and 4's, the mentality I've adopted is to just go on with my life until they start going over the "average" times. There are some cases where people have gotten them back in record time, but that is definitely an exception and not the norm. This IS the US government we're talking about, after all.

I have been. But average wait time is 190 days. I'm over 260. That's why I started looking into it.

A delayed NICS can result in a disapproval if not addressed… after a certain number of days the FBI will close the NICS iirc.

I'd file for a UPIN and send that to FBI when approved

Submitted a Form 1 (trust) through Silencer Shop on 4/27. Have just been checking their dashboard this whole time. As of this morning, it still says waiting on ATF approval. So, I logged into eforms.atf and found out it was approved back on 6/12. What the ****.

I also submitted a form 4 the same way and can't find it anywhere on the eforms website.
im having this same issue aswell. I submitted mine on 4/27 aswell but don't see it anywhere on the eforms website under my account.

Is that normal?

Yes, form 4 will not be on your account, it will be on the dealers

Okay. That makes sense. I've been stressing over that the past couple days. Appreciate the response.

Just called John Carter's office to get an update on my inquiry. They received a response from ATF (don't know when) and sounds like AtF pointing the finger at FBI NICS. Carter's office said they'll contact FBI today or tomorrow. Hopefully that will get my Form 1 freed up. Day 143 and counting.

I got the same response by email today on my inquiry

Finally after 147 days, paid Form 1 approved. Submitted April 18th. As stated above, apparently it got hung up at the FBI. No doubt contacting my Rep helped. Would be nice if I get a super fast approval on my Form 4!

My Form 4 was submitted on 3/1 and approved on 9/6… 189 days.

I recently did a Form 1 EFile as well. I don't recall the submission and approval dates, but it initially went into "pending research" status, ended up taking about 120 days.

I contacted Carter right after you and got the same FBI response. Fingers crossed

Filed 4/2022 and finally got an email today that it is submitted/in process. Only took a year and a half….let's see how much longer until I get it.

Individual or trust? If the latter, how many responsible persons?

That makes sense, they're going quick these days. I have a trust 2RP from early Feb I'm waiting on.

I have had quite the debacle to sort through. I was on NICS hold and had to jump through some hoops to get that cleared. Got word this morning that they have cleared it and sent to the ATF for approval. Hopefully I should be completely clear in the next couple of weeks. Gigantic pain in the ass.

Finally approved. 277 days later. Pain in the butt. Worst part is having to wait until next Friday to be able to go pick it up.

Just called the ATF this morning to check the status on my February 23 form 4 submission. They are now saying a 244 day average approval time.

So kind of a dumb question but I've got a couple of cans fixing to be freed from jail.

What's the best way to work through what sort of barrel nuts, etc. I'll need for my firearms? A buddy showed me one of his with a tri-lug that is quick detach, appreciated that, but trying to work through what I'll need to get the cans hooked up (outside of armorer's tools and possibly a MAP torch to get existing hiders, etc. off?)

Thanks.

Muzzle device needed is dependent on both the gun and the suppressor.

What cans and what guns are you trying to use them on?

I purchased 3 cans January 13th, 2023. Trust.

Hoping they allow me to have them before it gets too cold this year.

January 13th….still waiting. I honestly can't even remember what I bought at this point other than it was a rim fire, 30 cal and 46 cal.
