    I sent in the state paperwork for my SBR last week of January, but haven't heard anything back yet. How long should that take?

    I was going to do it as you are (buying a built SBR upper, but I may just make mine myself so I can do it under a form one. It should be quicker.... In theory.

    I filed one in September and I think it took over a month, but I am not 100%. I just sent it in and forgot about it. With the amount of time the ATF takes, I figured stressing over the timeline was dumb. I am still waiting for ATF approval; I haven't bothered to check on the status yet.

    About a year ago I want to say mine went between 1-2 weeks door to door.
    It's ridiculus for this to take a month or more; we need to get the bs law changed.
    It's just a muffler, not a WMD.

    Don't you have to wait for the state forms to send in copies to the ATF? Am I doing this wrong?

    some people send both off at same time, then mail/fax state paperwork to atf when it arrives. I prefer so send a complete package to atf, but I'm a little ocd.

    Yes wait or your packet will be rejected. This wasn't always the case but the ATF has now required a complete packet for at least the last 8months. It helps them become more efficient

    I did not turn in state and federal at the same time. I may have been unclear. I bought a suppressor on September 9th, the last day of the tax free weekend, from Derek at BBA. We had to mail some paperwork back and forth, so I am guessing the forms didn't actually get to the state for at least 2 weeks. I have the approval form sitting on my desk. It was signed off on December 16. So my guess is 10 weeks for approval. It may have taken more than 2 weeks to get off to the state, I was kind of slow about it. I have a trust, but am not sure if that speeds up the state, or only federal approval.
