My first NFA purchase, several years ago, was a 90 day wait for the form 4.
And it seemed like forrreevvvvveeeerrr. Several started this January took about 5 months from mailing to receipt. Won't know about the next ones until well into the next presidency. Actually, I think the longest wait is when you learn the form is approved, and are waiting for it to show up in the dealers hands. As far as the total wait -try to not think about it more than once or twice a day, and the total time will seem hours shorter.

I find the easiest way to make the time go faster is not coming to the suppressor forum because every time I do it reminds me of the stamps I have waiting. As you can see I don't really listen to my own advice.

I did it as an individual. I am in Lincoln, NE where our Cleo wouldn't sign off on anything but 41f changed all that. As for the 8 month wait, the guys at the shop said 6-8 months so I figured 8 months and if it's earlier then that is just icing on the cake

Forget about the can. I tortured myself thinking about my first NFA item by thinking about it everyday.

I have my first 3 cans ordered though my dealer as of today. Now to wait for them to arrive so I can actually pay and submit paperwork. Omega, Ghost M, and Mask. Knowing how long the wait might possibly be, I decided to go ahead and cover all bases at one time. I'll see yall on the other side sometime in 2017.

I'm sitting on my first can as well; go to NFATracker and add your input to get the guesstimated time to go pick your can up. Mine is between Jan-April 2017.

Haha, I'm both the best and worst NFA customer!
I recently submitted the forms for my MAC 11A1 and can I bought almost 2 years ago and then realized I had a .22 can I bought almost 5 years ago and forgot about and never submitted paperwork!

Be careful, they're like rabbits or gremlins or something - they multiply fast and easily.
I've got an Obsidian I'm waiting for as well. Only thing I can offer is to try not to think about it. Or go buy something else. |

I'm also waiting on an Obsidian, but I expect it to get paroled by December. You can pass the time by buying threaded barrels and pistons & end caps for each caliber. If you only have one host, the best time to change that is before your form 4 gets approved; I'm really thinking about picking up a USP or FNX-45 tactical in the fall, esp. if HRC wins.

Rofl at 8 months, you are sadly mistaken. Its taking atf 3-4 months just for them to enter your info. I' d say 12-18 conservativly. I'm waiting on a alpha from silencer shop, bought it on july 19th, still havent even started form 4 yet

It breeds discontent |

I'm already thinking about a 7.62 suppressor but cash is a problem. Maybe in 6 months or so I'll start that. |
