Paper forms for 3 suppressors all submitted at the same time . The last forms before my dealer converted to electronic

Pending 16 April 2024
Submitted to NICS 16 Sept 2024.
Approved by Nics 30 Dec 2024
Right now they are pending 266 days and the ATF website says average paper form 4 is 134 days

Still waiting on an examiner to approve them per my email to the ATF 7 Jan 2025 , Calls get you the same canned response.


Approved as of the 9th of Jan. 2025 per and email from the ATF . Right at 268-269 days from pending to approved.




The forms got to my FFL on Monday and I picked the suppressors up yesterday

I did an Eform 4 for the next one
