AR-15 Sound Suppressors/Silencers

As of 2/12/18 current wait time for individual is 4 months, 8+ for a trust. Based on someone i know who filed as individual's turn around time, combined with what i've been seeing on line.

That is just asinine that the trust and individual are so much different in wait time. I keep everything on a trust for protection purposes

I suppose it depends how many people on the trust. If it takes four months for an individual a trust with four people will probably take about four times as long to process if you think about it.

But why does it take four months for a person?!

I wish that were the case, but there is only one person on my trust, and it still took 10 months for my suppressor and 9 months for my SBR.

How long ago did you do yours? I'm assuming you built your SBR (Form 1)?

Form 4 Suppressor:

22-Apr-16 Purchase
23-Apr-16 Mail Date
2-May-16 ATF Debit Date
11-Jan-17 Approval Date
24-Jan-17 Stamp arrived at Ark

About 8.5 months of processing time.

Form 1 SBR - I need to double check the timeline, but it was in the same general time period.

Form 1 SBR I filed online Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016. Approved and received emailed stamp on Thursday, October 27th. Was only 6 months. Sorry about that.

I really like www.nfatracker.com/ for keeping an eye on how long things are taking (and storing all my dates).

They waste no time in cashing checks, that's for sure.

Hopefully this year a couple more suppressors for me. But we'll see how bills being paid off goes.

They get their money and then take their sweet time.

I was thinking about a 5.56 suppressor, but now my plan is to wait for the PSA low-end MP5 next year (a gun I've wanted since before I had guns) and then get an SBR stamp on it.

Two honest to God clips of actual ATF employees processing Form 1’s and Form 4’s at the NFA section. This might be why it takes so long.
