I think my wait times have gotten longer. I’ve gotten everything from 4 days to 16 days and now I’m at 10 days and 4 days for the last two that are pending.

There’s absolutely no consistency with the nfa approval process.

I'll be posting mine soon hopefully, looks live individual submittals are going a lot quicker than trusts.

Perhaps a dumb question but do form 4 SBR, trust take longer? I got most of my f4 cans approved super fast, they were individual. I’m getting close to 2 months in on a F4 SBR trust.
