ATF wants to get as many people on the books as possible before this next election......

Mine was approved in 2 days. Now just do away with the tax stamp.

This is the first time the government telling me this is the new normal isn’t believable

I hope it's true! In the meantime, I'll just keep waiting... 9 months and counting.

Everything I am reading in the past 3 months says that wait times have gone up again. I am not reading that anyone is getting stamps within a few months anymore yet alone days.

Not everyone is getting fast approvals. I certified on my last suppressor on 3/22/24 and I'm still waiting.

My 1st one 1 year ago took 5 months & the 2nd one just recently took 3 days!

First one - 3 days. A week or two later- 2nd one 4 days. A few weeks later - third one 3 weeks.

At least it's an improvement.

Bought one only because I heard the turn around time was really quick. Guess what??? It’s been 3 months and still nothing

Yet here I am at 262 days still pending

I have texted them twice and called has been over 90 days still nothing but them generic responses

Why not recommend that when they approve one, if there are more filed and awaiting approval, how about suggesting after the background check they approve ALL pending submissions? That would speed up things for us, and quickly lower their backlog too because it's stupid that there be 3 stamps submitted and get approved for one quickly, while the other two languish for months.

IMO, this is an attempt by the ATF to collect as much money as possible before the NFA is ruled unconstitutional and struck down.

Why the music in the background ?

What about the people who are delayed

I'm pretty underwhelmed by the American Suppressor Association (ASA) and the "product" of their late 2023 roundtable discussions with the ATF. Yes, it has reduced waiting times for suppressors purchased by an individual person but has not quickened approvals for trusts and other forms of ownership. A well-built suppressor constructed of quality alloys is a long-lived asset and given the time and expense of the suppressor purchase, it may make more sense for the purchase to be made by a trust so that the suppressors can be readily shared by multiple parties and that the sharing can continue after the ultimate demise of any of the benefactors. Why has the acceleration of individual person approvals not carried over to NFA trust approvals? Although I had suppressors approved in mid-March, my early-April submissions still remain in "suppressor jail". Additionally, where is the ASA with respect to developing testing standards for comparing suppressors based on both subsonic and supersonic decibel reduction as well as measuring the visible signature of the suppressor? As a suppressor consumer, this would be useful information that would facilitate the purchasing decision.

Just got one approved, 3 days. Crazy

I suspect that in spring g of “25 things will get even better.

I know you also will have problems if your a Jr or the 3rd. It took some time to even certify mine.

Napa has them, you can get them the same day

It's slow again

Now, if we could get the FBI to step up their background checks...

My tin foil hat tells me the atf is boosting revenue after getting its ass handed to it in all the losing court cases. I worry they'll lure in thousands of new suppressor owners, then try and pass some sort of annual registration fee.

Should be done in mins like buying a firearm

Total bs…squeaky clean record, waiting 2 months on 4 silencers, first two approved in 9 months a year ago. I can walk in and walk out with a gun in 10 minutes.

I’m still waiting ! My local gun shop says NOTHING HAS CHANGED ! So ya the new normal is same as old normal. Bullshit.

I’ve been waiting for going on a year so, I don’t know you you’re directly this info too?.
