Build it as a pistol instead. And eFile the next one (creating a trust, corp, or LLC if you don't have one already); those are turning around inside of a month right now.

you should be getting approved any day now with a form 1, I wouldn't spend the money on a pistol brace since you are so close.

I've gotten to the point where I wouldn't waste time or money to shoot a pistol version of my rifle. I'll just wait for the stamp. |

Once the first one is done, the future ones are much easier
But you should be up any time now.....My first SBR took 9 months, and my first can took 11 months so the current waits are nothin at all. You'll learn that the wait is actually addicting. When you receive the stamp, that anticipation feeling goes away....and the only way to satisfy it is by sending in another form 
Just to make you itch more though....

That is AWESOME! bending: I think a suppressor is in my near future seeing as my sbr will be my last AR platform build dude to a lack of lowers. But I have a feeling waiting for a can should scratch that itch |

^ Its the next logical step
My second can actually just came into JoJo's today so Ill be sending my paperwork out tomorrow for it. Since I got into NFA stuff, Its like Ive been permanently waiting for a few years now  haha
If you have more than 1 lower registered, youll end up wanting to SBR ALL of them

A can would look very nice on my 11.5" but that will be a story for another thread lol Eta: I hate cthtf and gd for getting me hooked on the crack like substance which is referred to as NFA

I know the feeling. I purchased my first can a month and a half ago from Silencershop and I assume I'm in for a pretty good wait. It took them over a month for the form 3 to come back. Anyways I got antsy and put in an eForm 1 yesterday for an SBR. Hopefully that will be back in less than 30 days!

Basically F1 = build, and F4 is buy. The most common would be to make an SBR from a stripped lower on a Form 1, and buy a suppressor on a Form 4. Howevwr, you absolutely can buy a factory SBR on a Form 4 and make your own suppressor via a Form 1. |

For those surprised by the shorter paper wait time - this is a good tool to stay current.
Interestingly, they just started differentiating between F1s and non-F1s http://www.nfatracker.com/TrendGraph.aspx |

I feel your pain. I just called in today to get a status update on my form 1 (Individual). The lady advised me that they received my application August 29th and that it would be approved around next May. Does it really take 9 months or is it usually quicker?

Plus the ATF is probably just giving an estimated date based on when you filed and the history of F1 returns in the last year. It's not like they mark your stamp saying "do not return until May 2015"

another day, still no stamp. Got approved on 9/12. So it's been 12 days. The NFA branch is 2757 miles from my house by car. According to Michigan State researchers, a cow can run about 8 mph...so yeah, a few more days and a cow could have got here by now.
 of course, a cow would have to rest...but still, at some point its getting ridiculous!

mailed 3 form 1's (SBR, trust) at 0800 on 6/12/14, all 3 were approved on 9/12/14. I know the time to approval has REALLY improved over the last couple of months, and that's awesome, but on the other hand the time to actually deliver the stamps after approval seems to be skyrocketing. There seem to be a lot of people on various forums that were approved during the first half of September that haven't got their stamps yet. Then I look at the NFATracker data and there are, historically, a ton of people that get them in a week or less. The % that take more than 2 weeks or more is actually pretty small, historically, but right now it seems to be commonplace. Not sure why...
 Yeah, I know, it's a small thing to bitch about when the ATF was taking a year to approve stuff not that long ago, but in some ways it's even more frustrating. It's like "you're approved!!! To bad you don't have a stamp and can't do anything about it!"
