I ordered my first can mid January, fully expecting a long wait.
So far, still waiting F4, Capital Armory. My electronic print scans took a while to get mostly legible prints. I wonder if that is the hold up? Inked prints would have been easier. |

Two new Dead Air cans in 7 days; a Mask and a Sandman S. I was covered and wasn't in the market, but the fast approval times pulled me back in. First can took 2 1/2 days, second was 24 hours.

short wait times pushed me over the edge about 3 weeks ago, 4 cans in process. Hopefully I get quick F4 approvals, my last can was just over 9 months. Trouble is, I haven't even certified yet, still waiting on the F3 approval's
 As for lists, I've probably been on one or more for 30-40 years, well over a decade on the NFA registry. IDGAF. |

Wouldn’t be my first but I’m damnrd tempted to grab another 2-3 cans given the turnaround. At least a dedicated 5.56 can

Mine in the pipeline are on a trust and there don't seem to be any quick turnarounds in that field.
Guess I'll just wait. |

The government is just that fucking inefficient that it took until 2024 for the digital breakthrough at the ATF.
They were probably still running windows 95 until last year. |

They outsourced the background checks. Before it was literally a few people sitting in an office going through whatever was on their desk essentially, looking each one up, etc. Now all of that has been automated by the third party. At least that is my understanding of what happened.
That being said, I put a few in queue last week. Just did the certification on them yesterday. Let's see what happens. |

The patterns we’ve seen as a shop that uses the Silencershop kiosk.
All are done as individuals Most, as in the ones that know the information, are people that would get an instant proceed when a NICS check is called in. The story we’ve put together is that the ATF got a spanking and was told to hurry things up. As a result they are working from the top of the pile on things they know are a quick turnaround. I’m personally at 10 months on a trust but I sold a can last Weds that was picked up on Mon. |

I bought my first can in September of 2023. It took five months for it to be approved. I picked it up in February of 2024.
Now that they’re being approved in a matter of days I’ve been looking for one in either 45 or 9mm to take advantage of the fast approval times. But every where I look everything is OOS. You neckbeards need to stop buying all the cans so I can get a second one. |

I want 3 more cans and a few SBRs. But I'm not goi g to bite until I am SURE the system is going to be fast for me too.
A long wait at this point would make me worried I was escalated to a higher level of background check, which would create undue stress.

I just had five approved with a 24hr turn around from submitted/in-process to approved. Had a handful that were 4-6 weeks late last year/early January. I’ve been doing this for 20+ years and have had traditional Form 4s take as little as 30 days to 12+ months. My first Eform4 was in 2021 and that was about 12 months.

I submitted two form 4s 2 years ago, denied a year in because my dealer didn't send in a fingerprint card. Resubmitted in August and still waiting.
If the suppressor I've been looking at recently is still in stock on payday I'm ordering it. Maybe it will get approved before my other 2. |

This is a prelude to declaring all ARs & AK "readily convertible machineguns" and trying to force us to register them all. The wait times are down to show the Supremes how it's not much of a burden.

I got three form 4s approved today. One submitted on 4/8/24, one on 4/9/24 both individual filed, and one on a single shot trust that i submitted on 1/29/24. I got three emails from the ATF for them 1 min apart each. Last week I got a individual filed can approved as well but it didn't get bundled with the trust one.
Cans that got approved were a Flow 556k, Polonium K, Omega 9k, and the one from last week was a Surefire Mini2. Pretty excited to go shoot them! |

Hahaha Dip shits could have bought whatever silencers years ago and had it that much sooner It's human nature to not want money (Especially to the government) just floating around in who knows land. The fast times, combined with great product on the market, and a LOT of sales going on for cans creates the perfect time to buy! |

I’d love a 9mm and a low back pressure 5.56 can. |
