8th week of Form 3 and STILL waiting!!!! WTF???

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.

8th week of Form 3 and STILL waiting!!!! WTF???

Post by DaveJTR »

Ordered Octane 9HD exactly 8 weeks ago. Was told by dealer that Form 3s can take up to 6 weeks, but they've been getting back to the dealer around the 3-week mark.

I ordered a suppressor in 02/16 and received my stamp in exactly 16 weeks. It's been 8 weeks and still can't even get a Form 3 just to even start the clock. Gonna be 2018 before I get my suppressor!!!!?????

Ugh

Just had one go 60 days. Seems to be the average right now.

It happens... the problem with the NFA waiting game is that you can say there's an average of 6-8 weeks, but you may have one or two randomly that take 20 weeks.

It doesn't make any sense, and the ATF may or may not be helpful to get things moving faster.

Their is plenty of people on here who have waited forever for their atf stamp. If your not willing to wait then don't bother getting into nfa stuff.

Bought a dead air ghost on 12/07/2016 and the form 3 was approved on 02/06/2016. So I'll probably have it by XMAS time this year.

ericlw: I have no problem waiting 10 months for a Form 4. But if you're responding that you've waited 10 months for a form 3, then yeah, I'm pretty sure the majority of people on this forum would say that's absurd.

90 days now... still no form 3 :(

My Form 3 took 61 days.

The Form 4 for that suppressor was just approved after 283 days! It will also take up to 30 days for my dealer to receive the tax stamp in the mail. :x

I think you're confusing form 3 and form 4. There's no way a form 3 would take 10 months.

My form 3 took 6 weeks a year ago. That was pretty bad back then.
