NFA forum has a lot of posts in the form 4 thread.
Days to a week for individual, 2-3 weeks for trusts.

Got one back a couple weeks ago. Took a month. Waiting on one now, I think its been 2 weeks so far. Trust

I recently had a half a dozen approved and longest took 32 days and shortest one was 8 days.  All of them on a trust.

1.5 to 2 days for my last two.

A few days for an individual and within a month for a trust has been my recent experience and what I've seen online.

I haven't seen any changes to the timelines online with the recent NFA ruling.

Last 2 SBRs and 6 cans I all did recently were all about 1 month. Trust.

Just got approved today.   12 days on a trust with 2 responsible persons.

Early August I submitted two individual Form 4s, a day apart. Both approved same day at 4 & 5 days.  Capitol Armory delivery to door was smooth & painless.

Had a local FFL submit on Friday (8/21)… think around 1800.

Literally just got the ATF approval a few minutes ago… Tuesday (8/25).

Electronic prints, individual with multiple eForms prior to this one.

Mine just got approved, Capitol Armory submitted it on Friday and I got notice from e-form this morning, so not even 2 working days.  My guess is that their work load just got hacked to 1/4 of normal traffic due to the recent ruling

Individual Form 4

Submitted Friday August 21 at 5:45 PM
Approved Tuesday August 25 at 9:26 AM.

Last Friday evening to this morning ain't bad.
It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air, that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

I've had a dozen individuals come back in less than 3 days over the last 2 weeks.  Trusts are taking  about a month.
I'm no good at telling people what they want to hear when I dont believe it myself :)

Hrt 5k am approved this morning. 5 days total.

Bought one last Thursday, got the stamp back Monday, picked it up today (Tuesday).

Factoring the weekend, about two days.

4 days on a single shot trust, approved today. Never had them this fast except when I spammed the system on 1/1 earlier this year.

I suspect the over the counter sales are helping the form 4 workload and allowing examiners to approve form 4s faster.

Im hoping we start over the counter form 4s later this week. We will see.

Just got a suppressor through Capitol Armory via trust, from purchase to delivery 2 weeks exactly.

Today mine was ready. 4 days, individual.

Suppressor I picked up yesterday took four days counting the weekend. One I bought at beginning of summer was about the same. Friend bought a suppressor last month and it took a full week.

ETA. these were all filed as individuals

Just did one on a GSL Phoenix.  Trust, took about 5 weeks.

I did a F4 suppressor about 2 months ago and that was 30 ish days.
About 2 weeks ago another F4 suppressor was 9 days.
Both trusts with 1 RPQ.

Last week I filed 6 F4's from trust to trust.  5 were approved in 3 days and the last one was 4 days.

I ordered another rimfire can under my trust on 9/1. Picked it up this morning because they weren't open yesterday when I got off of work. So about a week.

If a person wanted one quicker, would there be any reason not to get it individually and then transfer it to the trust?

Not really, as long as you’re able to handle your own form 4 and RPQ. The reason not to do it in the past was the $200.

Thank you.

I'm good on that.  Hopefully, GA law changes next year and it won't be an issue.

Filed form 4 at East County Guns in CDA Idaho on Friday , 9-11-26.   Used the Kiosk from SilencerCo.  Email notified approval a few minutes ago w/single shot Trust.  Gonna pick up my Sparrow 22 can tomorrow.    Five days over the weekend ain’t too bad.
     First NFA experience.

Just got one back in two days!  I can’t believe my last one was a 6 month wait.

When I bought a 22 suppressor back in 2011, I thought it would be my last. That was $2,800 dollars of tax stamps ago.

Nope, I've done that before.
Not sure it matters now, trusts have sped up since I posted that..

I just had two form 4's on different trusts approved in 39 hours.

No need to file individual now, just file as a trust.
