    I have a Form 4 check cashed on 7-6-16 still pending. There are quite a few people on AR15.com that are getting stamps back from July Pending dates so shouldn't be long.

    Have any idea when they were approved? Just wondering what the mail turn around time is at the moment. I know some guys over on AR15.com are reporting 2-3 weeks in some cases.

    well got tired of waiting, I efiled 2 sbr form 1's on on7/2/2016 and was approved on 3-30-2017.
    the other I filed on 7/11/2016 and haven't heard a word from.... I expected it to be a couple days to a week or so behind the other one being it was 9 days after the first one I submitted.... well almost 2 months later no approved, so I sent them an email at around 3am this morning being very nice with my ID numbers, submission dates, permit numbers ect and asked if I messed something up on the paperwork or is there something lingering on my end as to why one was approved 2 months ago and the other is still pending. Well expecting not to get a response from them in a couple day. I wake up at around 10am and check my email and I got an approved email, idk if it was me asking or if it was just my time, so I guess if you might be concerned with your wait time maybe it would help to just ask them and see.. idk, just sharing my experiance

    The closer it got to the cut-off it seems the more they received in a given day. A 2 month difference is kind of extreme, but that's the game it seems.

    What's real frustrating is a friend submitted maybe 10 hours after I did, I got mine 2 weeks ago, he is still waiting.

    How does it work when you purchase something from Silencershop? I purchased an Advanced Armament suppressor around July 5th right before the rule change. The suppressor was transferred from Silencershop to Interstate Guns around November 13 2016. Will interstate call when me the I'm given approval? This is my first suppressor purchase so I'm curious as to how it works. June makes 11 months since submission, should I contact the NFA division to see if they have a pending date?

    Interstate should receive the form, but I don't know what their process is on notification. You can call NFA branch if you have a serial (and I would since Silencer Shop screwed up a lot of orders before 41F) but in all likelihood your form just hasn't been approved yet. ATF is working seven days a week and is churning our approvals but the last few weeks leading up to 41F created form volumes unlikely to ever be seen again.

    We got an error email really early this (Sunday) morning on a form we sent. I haven't been to the office to check the trust yet but it is one we didn't draft but we have already had several approved forms on this customer's trust so likely a sheet was lost somewhere in the ATF's process. But it's nice to know they are working this hard.

    I had one, my first mailed off on the 2nd of March. I am hoping to have it by October. I don't know where to go to check on status.

    You'll need your serial number and can call the NFA branch at (304) 616-4500. I think October is a reasonable expectation but until they clear out all the 41F forms no one knows for sure what the new timelines will be.

    How bad was Silencershop screwing up? The form 4's seem to go so much slower compared to getting an SBR. Kenny thanks for the info, I'll try calling into the NFA line and give them the serial number and see what's going on. Hopefully all is well as I'd be furious if I had to start all over again.
