My buddy submitted the day before I did, and his stamp came in before Christmas. Yeah looking around this thread, it seems like variability is increasing. Must be because they were receiving exponentially more boxes of forms each day that passed. Seems like we have 2+ weeks of variability now. |

I'm slightly miffed about my next can due, but then again I'm not because mistakes happen and all, and the dealer went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of pre-41F.
Dead Air Sandman-S Form 4 trust Purchased 5/8/16 The first form 4 was received by the ATF on May 17, then they received a second form on June 14. Apparently the dealer, QRF, got a batch of serial numbers from Dead Air that had one too many zeroes. So to prevent any mishaps, they pre-emptively submitted another form 4 with the correct S/N in June to make sure I'd beat 41F. I spoke to Courtney at ATF, who btw has been the friendliest person I've talked to yet there, who noted that the serial number on the initial form was wrong and saw that another was submitted. So worat case, I might get my can a few weeks later than I had hoped, but it's no big deal. I don't really even have a host ready for it anyways. And props to QRF for staying on top of things. |

Yeah, the wait sucks. I have one with a May 12 cashed date.
A friend and I also ordered Cyclones from Silencer Shop's tax day sale and those were early June cash dates... hurry up and wait. |

Order Placed 4/8/2016 from Silencer Shop
Form 4 Submitted 5/11/2016 Check Cashed on 5/20/2016 Pending 5/26/2016 Called today. They said they're still working on April and it could be another month and a half. I asked about how some folks are seeing May approvals already. Lady said there's some from June as well as their "helpers" accidentally grabbed a box from June... So who the hell knows when I'll actually see this thing. |

I’ve been hawking this thread because my check was cashed on 5/17 so I am assuming I am close to approval. Anyway what I noticed we are pretty dang close to being done with April. The spread is widening and there have been some oddballs but as far as April approvals go the dates have been consistent and increasing. May is just around the corner to be the flavour of the week for approvals. I do thing the approval length is widening though. At the begging of the month I swore I would have been approved by the end of the month now I am thinking mid to late February. |

F....
I rarely come in here, and mostly stay off the site since I bought my first in September. I did not beat 41-F as my house of 11 years was sold so fast I had no where to go, and consequently, no affirmative address to put on my form. Cashed in Oct, and by the looks of it, maybe it will be a Christmas present to myself for 2017. I think I will avoid the site some more, LOL. Good news is it's my last semester in school, so I have some other things to concentrate on. That helps pass the time. |

I'm just bellyachin'. If this function was administered by the private sector (i.e. driven by profitability), I guarantee that wouldn't be the case. |

I'm sitting at 196 days as of 24 JAN 17 (F4's submitted on 12 JUL 16 for my Osprey 9 and SPECWAR762). I was hoping to be done with the waiting period when I got back from this extended vacation...looks like I'll be waiting longer. This doesn't include the 107 days I waited for the F3's to be transferred from SiCo to my SOT. That's 303 days total and the ATF is only into APR-MAY 16. This makes me sad .
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pass the HPA. |

This long wait times are getting depressing. but I'm still hopeful for the June submission coming up. I'm waiting on a omega9k to get out of jail. I'm stilling at 229 days so far.

I made my purchase in February when F3's were running about 60-70 days. I never did find out why my time was almost double what the average was. My only guess is that SiCO was shipping F3's in batches rather than individually. This is only speculation and have nothing to back it up. It happens though. I'm not sweating it. It's going to happen when it's supposed to happen. |

Dead Air Sandman Ti Bought: 5/11/16 Pending: 5/17/16 Also bought a Ghost M last month, but had to get prints/photo and dealer vacation, so not sent until 1/14ish. I'm not figuring on getting it this year since I'm a pessimist. I already bought some extra wipes and a couple pistons though... Hopefully HPA passes and I get it quicker. |

Forms pending 6/21/16 and all 3 were sent back today. Like a moron I forgot to attach the passport pics. Will go back to NFA today so hopefully get approved in a few weeks.
