I have one pending since Sept. 14, 2011.

The guy at ImpulseShooting told me the other day he has items waiting for 6 months. Which really sucks because I'm rounding up all the stuff I need to submit my Form 4.
Perhaps those guys are not happy with having their pay frozen!
Longest was 6 months.
Shortest was 68 days.
All in 2010 and 2011 before the examiner switch.
I got approved on a Form 1 on January 26th and it went pending August 22nd. Now the bad part, I still haven't received my paperwork. I'm pretty sure it got lost in the mail. ATF said wait 2-4 weeks for delivery. So I can't do shit until after 30days. Last form 4 took 156 days.
Longest one was 9 months for a machine gun.
While not a form 1 or 4 im still waiting on a demo gun from about a year ago.
I am finally starting to get some forms back. Just got one from last may.
I have a pile of cans waiting for approvals.
I had my check cashed in the first week of Dec, still no stamp. Does check being cashed count as "pending"?

NO.
My last form 1 took 4.5-5 months. Got it back about 3 months ago. My understanding is that NFA branch is down to something like 7-9 examiners. Can you imagine the $$$ their making with stamps alone?
From what i'm reading on other forums the wait is approx. 6 months now
I think I want 1 more can and then I'll be done.
Until that day,

Talking with a few dealers here, it seems like about 6 months is the current norm. Our new reviewer is notorious for this.
That sucks . I still have time till my trust shows up and my pistol .. dang .
I forgot to add that I have one sitting at 4.5 months right now.
My suppressor via individual went pending on Aug 22, approved Jan 26, in my hands about a week later.
My first form 1 took 4 months this was back in 09, I just sent in a form 4 on 16 Feb delivered to Ga. 21 Feb....
Day 2
I don't expect to see it back until late Aug early Sept
A little over 5 months for a form4 stamp - arrived in Jan.
I have been waiting 2 weeks

FINALLY!!!!
I called ATF today "Approved as of 2-21-2013"

160 day 5 months and 7 days but who's counting!
Just faxed a request for a certified copy of the Form 1 they lost. I'll probably be 6.5 months before I get anything back.

It sure didn't feel fast!!! But if I compare it to "May time" I can understand.
