Form 4 approvals

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

Form 4 approvals

Post by EMT »

Hi,
I am positive this question is asked over and over again, however, how long is the current wait time for the ATF to approve a Individual form 4 for a suppressor? I have heard many different answers and felt the best people to know would be the ones on this forum...I paid for this back in February, waited for the form 3 to be completed, had the Sheriff sign off and mailed in the form 4. The ATF cashed my check 3 days after receiving it and the waiting begins....Thank you in advance for any and all responses...

Looks to be around six months.

nfatracker and silencershop are good references to get an idea of the wait times

You're resurrecting a 4 year old thread about wait times with this?

My last two. First 6 months & 1 day ( from mailed to pick up). My second 4 & 1/2 months. The last one was picked up on 04/20/15 (less than 2 months ago).
Both individual form 4's.

Lateck,

101 days on the last one, and it was approved on Memorial Day. :shock:

Hopefully my other 2 are just a few more days out now.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Form 4 on an LLC, and 120+ days and waiting since it went pending...

Update: It was approved June 25th and the stamp was at my dealer the 29th. Checking the NFATracker, it seemed like the LLC took almost as long as an individual, but hey, that damn thing is in hand now and shoots the same POI!
