I've purchased post 41F, but is was an SBS. The new process is such a pain in the butt. Dragging my wife to the sheriffs office and CVS for every sinking form is ridiculous.

Welp got the first back in December after a 11 month F3 + F4 wait....
Some how seemed to forget how long it took and bought a Oculus, wanted a Spector II, but between transfer fees and local dealers around here wanting more than MSRP, quoted $395+ from 3 separate dealers (Yay Alaska! :( ) I just went ahead and bought from the SS, since it was within 25 bucks. Besides a modular .22 now I can be one of the cool kids with the latest and greatest. LOL |

Silencerco Omega, form 4 mailed last week and form 1, AR15 SBR, mailed last month. Photos and prints were easy as I got them done at Capitol Armory while I was picking up a Griffin Recce 5. All this with a trust.

I have not and probably will not buy anything post 41F. If HPA passes, great but otherwise my NFA purchase day are probably done.
ETA - If it wasn't for the 41F, I would not be waiting for the HPA. Even with the current wait times, you will likely get what you seek quicker (and maybe even cheaper) if you buy now as opposed to waiting for HPA to pass (which I personally wouldn't hold my breath on). |

I've bought three since October, I'm not going to wait for the bill to pass. If it passes I'll get my cans right away, if not I'll get them sooner than the folks waiting to see if it does pass.  That has been my thought process on it. I kinda look at it as layaway for HPA. If it passes I will just go and pick them up. If it doesn't pass I will get mine way sooner than the poor chumps who have been waiting for HPA to happen. |

A friendly request - if you are actually "waiting for the HPA", consider donating at least $35 to the ASA and become a member.

41f didn't change my purchasing habits (didn't buy any before I knew it was coming, haven't bought any since).
At this point, I'm definitely waiting for the HPA. I'm content with what I have, but I do want more. Might F1 a can at some point if/when wait times go back down, but I definitely will F1 a can and maybe buy a retail can or two if/when the HPA passes. |

I have bought a Dead Air Mask, a second Ti-Rant 9, a SW76 and an M10A1 all post 41F. I also have an integral MarkII that is coming up close to the year mark from when that adventure started.
I always submitted as an individual so post 41F is not much of a change for me. |

Waiting as well.
If 41f wasn't in play I'd buy. Too much of a pain in the ass for me. Have enough cans to hold me over. |

I have a can I purchased in April 2016(?) and never filed before July. I'll get around to it eventually. I may or may not just sit on both waiting for HPA. We shall see. |

I bought post 41f but I'm not doing anymore NFA anything at these wait times.
As a side note, I'm not blaming the examiners. They are working hard under the rules they have to follow. What bothers me is how the archaic process has never been updated and/or there hasn't been a rule or law to impose a time limit for them to approve or deny. A 30, or even 60 day limit, would've forced the ATF to modernized and expand the NFA branch. |

I have a silly question I would like to buy a can with a trust. I am in Fl. Is there a minimum number of people I have to put on the trust? I just want my wife and I to get prints and pictures. My old trust has I think six or seven people on it and that was pre 41-f, before I moved, was married and I just have an SBR on there. Thanks for the help. Sorry for the ignorance.

I'm currently waiting on my attorney to call me back and send me my trust. First stop is bank to get it notarized, then make a few copies and lock the originals up, then the dealer to buy my first suppressor.
I'm buying anyway I don't see the point in waiting. If I'm waiting I may as well have what I want paid for and in jail--if it passes I know mine is already purchased and I don't have to deal with the crazy spike in demand that will occur right after, so I can go pick it up immediately without worry of my dealer being out of stock. If it doesn't pass then I was waiting anyway and I'm that much closer to getting it. Logically wait times will go down eventually. If there really is such a huge downturn in the market with people waiting to see if the HPA passes that means once they clear the forms up to that point there will be fewer to process. Yes I anticipate it will get slightly worse since they are still clearing up the 41F backlog, but they are getting close. Once those are processed I'm interested in seeing if it improves at all. |

No, but I did buy two cans right before.
My LGS did everything to get set up for 41f, finger prints and photos. Main reason is the wait. I'm at 9 months for one. Fuck that. I had a paper form 4 back in 30 days once, that was a much better time

I spent the majority of my disposable income for gun stuff pre 41f.
However, my company owns Blackhawk and just this week provided employee prices and I will be buying several (which is well below Silencerco SPEQ pricing). Otherwise I would be making my first pre-41f purchase next month. The wait times definitely impacted me as well, but I also believe times will decrease in the next few months so want to get in line. |

I just got my Optimus in November. Now I am saving up/waiting a little bit before I inform the Mrs we need a Recce 7.
I'll be honest I was going to wait for the HPA when people were saying it was a sure thing and would happen quick. Now realizing it may take longer and there are pretty much no down sides to buying pre-HPA except filing forms and paying money will be counted as income tax paid I see no reason to wait if I was ready and wanting to buy now. I wonder how many people are saying "oh ya, I am not buying because of 41F." But are actually just waiting for HPA and not wanting to get called out... |

Waiting on five stamps from last spring and summer- both 1's and 4's. Not really interested in more until I get what's already in the pipeline and shoot them for a while.

Bought a Mask in early Jan, showed up at the dealer today. I plan on being able to pick it up early 2018. If he has a Rugged Obsidian in stock I may have to buy that when I'm down there to fill out the paperwork on the Mask

Got my trust late in the evening on Wednesday, got it notarized yesterday morning and then went to my dealer in the afternoon and purchased a SilencerCo Omega. They're doing my F4 which they needed to type up and I'm supposed to be going over there tomorrow to sign and do prints/photos. Overall painless experience, though I wish I wasn't sitting here waiting to finish paperwork. I spent about 15 minutes this morning carefully filling out my first F1 that I'm going to send in as well, so I don't see how they couldn't get to it by today.

No, but it has nothing to do with the HPA or 41F. I just haven't been on a suppressor buying kick. There's at least 3 or 4 that I want, but I just don't have the money for right now.

With a store credit less about 35% for the higher "retail" store prices, still got a specwar 556K for under $550 and that INCLUDES the stamp. Always had a hankering for a smaller lightweight dedicated 5.56 can, and this deal put me over the edge where I couldn't say no (actually, the store credit really didn't have anything to do with it, found out about it after the fact, but it's only gravy now). Wait a minute, that specwar is discontinued, isn't it?
