Pending to approval wait times?

I just wanted to post this up and see how long everyone has been waiting on getting their approved stamps back. My first was three months to the date and the second one liked about 6 days being three months and the latest one I sent off is now close to entering its fourth month. Just kinda wanting to see some of the other wait times everyone else is having to deal with.

I'd like to see too. I'm wanting to get a pistol caliber ar upper with a 16inch integral suppressor. Wondering how long it takes to get approval. Also does county have a bearing on it. I'm madison county.

I posted in your other thread about the 9mm or .40. Right now cans are running about 4 months + or -.

why would you invite the Feds. into your home ?...all you people that are filling out these forms for suppressors & full auto weapons are just giving directions to the G'ment boys when they come to get our guns & they ARE going to....might as well get ready for it ...don't give them any help by filling out any forms ...what good is a suppressor ?....after you've been on the recieving end of an AK you soon realize that it's not the gun you hear but the bullet going by [hopefully]

Im right at 3 months from sent. I checked in with my dealer around 8 weeks in and he said it will probably be around the full 3 month or more wait. I dont really understand this increased wait time. I dont even think SBRs should be regulated, i just dont see the point... I am waiting on 3 form 4s and 1 form 1.

Kendak the reason we do this is because its a hobby and its fun. Shooting a suppressed gun is the most fun i have ever had shooting. I dont think the "gment boys" are ever going to get our guns... Ive heard that for years now, sick of hearing all this paranoid stuff. And even if they ever did, i want to enjoy the experience while i can!

Dave, if you wanna check and see when it went into pending status you can call 1-304-616-4500. That is the number the the atf and all you have to do is tell them you wanna check the status of a stamp and give them your serial number and they will hook you up. May help you get a little better picture of a time frame.

Thanks for the tip! Im trying to forget about them as best i can but man its hard to not be excited.

right a suppressed rifle WOW!...you people been out in the sun to long...it don't work like on TV....how you going to suppress the bullet unless it's subsonic or the bolt going back into battery or the click of the switch going from semi. to full or the dust & muzzle blast in the daytime or flash at night...BTDT in real time & it don't work

Been waiting since Mid-June on a rifle suppressor...

Take the argument of whether to suppress or not or whether to deal with paperwork and ATF to another thread please

BTW my personal opinion- a 308 bolt rifle suppressed...in the right hands...is a hell of a weapon

The goverment knows where I am. I let them park their helicopters in my reptilian underground base because it is near Bitwise which makes it convenient for us ( oops I mean "them" ) to keep an eye on him.

That is unusual. The check should have been cashed by now. Do you know for sure when it was mailed?

That is news to me. I had a customer send in a form 4 two weeks ago and the check was cashed on day 7 after mailing. The way the process works is when the paperwork comes in the check is detached from the paperwork and it is sent to the person who handles the banking. It is deposited pretty quickly because they dont want the checks sitting around where things could happen.

I sent in my form 1 about 3 weeks ago with a personal check and it was cashed within the first two weeks. Wrong address maybe?

It showed up as a debit from my account. They are doing them electronically now.

Mike, did you send it certified mail? I started doing that after one of my checks got (lost) in the mail and they claimed they never received any of my paperwork. If i can remember correctly it was only 4 bucks last time I sent one off. Maybe that might help.

I sent mine in certified mail return receipt and used a money order....They received it in 7 days and cashed the MO.

Big Brother don't mess around cashing their checks...

who knows how long its gonna take...I've waited almost 16 weeks now for a Nightforce scope and 14 -15 weeks on a revolver coating from Birdsong...

WTF....

I might be dead before I get all this sh!t in....
