Bought my suppressor from a local shop that uses the Silencer Shop kiosk they had it in stock.

Bought on 1/7/26 at 7pm
Got the ATF SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS email 1/8/26
Approved 1/20/26 no ATF email, just a call from the shop to pick it up.


Sent off a eForm 1 to short barrel another shotgun on 2/4/26
Got the ATF SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS a few minutes after submitting the form. I have digital EFT prints. I've heard form 1's are taking around 20 days average.

I sent an inquiry to ask the experts today about my 6 approvals with incorrect trust name on the form 4's. Hopefully I'll hear back from them.

You shouldn't have to void anything if it was denied. I requested void on all 6 today and received submitted emails. Now I have to wait for them to be voided before I can resubmit. Hopefully that's not the same wait as a normal submittal.

When I sent a form 1 off to short barrel my Draco, I got a denied email the next day.

While filling out the form I used the paperwork from my FFL when I put the serial number in. On the gun it had ROA in front of the serial number, but since it wasn't on the paperwork that came with the gun I never added it to the form. The ATF wanted it added.

I called them and they said to resubmit the form, and my $200 would go back on my credit card within 4 weeks. It was approved 4 days later.

Well it looks like Form 4's are holding at 14 days and Form 1's are around 5 weeks. From what I am seeing from different sources around the web.

I have one just going into 5 weeks. So I'll know shortly if that holds true.

They’re all over the place, like they’ve always been. I’ve had Form 4s approved at 2 and 6 days this year.

A bunch of Form 1s approved at 8, 12, 20 days. And some submitted around the same times as those that are over 4 weeks with no movement.

Keep in mind at best those reporting their wait times are realistically a single digit percentage if not even less than that of the forms actually being submitted and approved.

I submitted a Form 4 on a trust on 1/3 and it was approved on 1/6.  I submitted another Form 4 on 2/5 with no movement.  Form 1s on 2/11 and 2/14 with nothing yet either.  All on trusts.  Seems they are slowing WAY down now. Still not as bad as my first few that took over a year each, but it is annoying when they were coming back in just a few days last year.

Seeing control numbers with same submission date on r/nfa within a couple of mine being approved.

Those sub 48 hour approval times really spoiled me.
