I haven’t seen much on folks posting about form1 can approval. I have 3 submitted on 1/9 but nothing so far. Has anyone here had theirs approved?

Yes. Not sure what my submitted date actually is, but I bought it from Capitol Armory at their end of year sale, and chose the wait for $0 stamp option. Form 4 approved 2/2

Nevermind, see you're asking about form 1

I submitted my form 1 on Jan 3rd and approved on Jan 23rd.
This is for my 3rd 3d printed form 1.

I submitted a bunch around 1/19, none are back.  

I also submitted a bunch of SBR F1s between 1/8 and 1/10, and none of those are back either.  

My SBR submission from 1/1 came back 1/6.  I guess the others are in the mountain of submissions.

I submitted a bunch recently and now I'm just shopping for any tooling I don't have or I want to try out.
I have basic designs scetched out (OAL and Dia.) but that is about it. My first 4 ones I did both cones, k baffles and radials.

I may try a monocore and I may also just clone what I made in the past for some as I hate switching hosts.
Right now is the fun concept refinement  phase before I go to the approved cutting chips phase.

I made one .22 and one 9mm form one years ago that friends that own commercial cans say is better / equal to commercial cans. Both super simple so I may make of those specs.

this may also give me an excuse to upgrade my mill

Im contemplating making a rifle sized 22lr can for my AR22.

Hub compatible 1.5" ish aluminum tube.
3D print the baffles for now.


I have no machining experience and no mill so not sure how to proceed.
Maybe buy one of those new mini CNC mills when they start shipping.

Well it seems like, from what I can gather, that sbr submissions are going well but suppressor approvals have stalled with any submitted after 1/3.

I submitted 3 form 1s on the 1/1 (1 suppressor and 2 SBS). All three were approved in a week. My buddy submitted a form 1 suppressor 1/14 and got it back 2/11.

There's a thread in the NFA SubReddit that is tracking return times.

Form 1s are sitting at about a month currently.

Well I’ve blown past that, 3 on 1/9 and 1 on 1/16. I filed with EFT prints and gave all pictures and write ups for materials. I figured that maybe it’s because these are my first NFA items or because I put N/A on the model, but their page said I could so I figured it would be one less thing required to engraved.
