Does anyone know how long paper form 3's are taking?

Well it depends on if there is any issues with form, if it's an MG there is a good chance the form will get kicked back or delayed (they are referencing original form when registered)

Now with that said, we sent in a form 3 for an MG Tuesday from MN and it is pending today (shows up on my eform site as a papered form 3)
We had a gun form 3 in January that I sold last year, the transfer was approved in a couple days and form was back in 3 weeks. Some reason it didn't show in the dealers inventory online but now shows on mine.

I ordered two YHM Turbos from Lanbo's, coming from a warehouse so two Form 3s.  I got notice today they are shipping to my dealer today.

Ordered: 2/12/18
Shipping to dealer: 2/23/18

Two form 3s in less than two weeks, can't complain.  Last time I ordered from Lanbo's was like January 2016 for a Mask, took like three months for the form 3 hops.

Lanbo's sends email updates for every step, been great.

I have also bought from Hansohn and Quiet Riot, both have been great.  Awesome dealers we have here!

I read a lot of confusing things. What type of trust and corporate or individual and so on. My status states this .... Form 3 Status: Disposed 1/22/2018
Form 4 Status: Submitted 12/28/2017 with that said my form 4 was before my form 3. I thought form 3 was before form 4 so I am lost!

but this is the newest info from Silencer Shop

Submission TypeReceiving Approvals Submitted On
Electronic Form 3:10/6/2017 through 10/13/2017
Paper Form 3:8/28/2017 through 8/28/2017

Okay that is very helpful. I didn't know the paper form 3's show up online. My suppressor is from gunbroker. He is positive reviews but I don't trust him the way I would any of the other big suppressor dealers. The factor that it's paper made me anxious but if it shows up online, then I could always ask him to show me the form 3 pending if I don't hear anything in the next 6-8 weeks? I'm sure it will be fine but this is my first form 3/suppressor purchase so I'm a bit anxious haha

A can dealer to dealer should take less than a month, just breathe and it’ll be here in no time.

SS bought 9/27
Form 3 approved 10/1
Check cashed 10/18

X2 bought 2 at same time

Haven't checked our heard from dealer so not sure if it shipped.  SS doesn't show anything not sure if they do but I'm out of town anyway and can't take it home so I'm not worried about that aspect.

What is the longest someone has seen on a paper form 3? I am currently on month 8..... dealer I bought it from said it's due to him moving and the address change. I wouldn't think that would add months to the approval process.

Curious if any of y'all have experienced something like this.

It sounds like you are waiting for the ATF to approve your dealer’s address change, and your form three will not be approved until then.

A local dealer here changed address last time I was buying a suppressor, I went with another dealer because it seemed to take a long time for his address to get approved, possibly months.

Alos, form 3's aren't even being processed right now due to the shutdown, right?

And does an address change typically take months to get approval? I would have used someone else but he had a specific suppressor I was looking for.

Not sure but it's starting to appear like that's the case. I've had a form 3 pending for over a week now. Hopefully it's just back up from being closed for the holidays. My last form 3 in November came back in 2 days.

Quick side question I hope is ok to post in this thread, I'm waiting on a form 3 approval from hansohn bros to my FFl, but wondering if I can start my form 4 now or do I have to wait for the 3 to be approved first??

Bump for updates.

Anyone have any recent approvals go through? Or have things really slowed down now with the shutdown?

I'm pretty pissed. I purchased a factory SBR on Dec 27th and so far, nothing! I don't know if its the dealer or the ATF but either way with ones being submitted after the shutdown and being approved quickly I wonder if they're tackling the new ones first?

I ordered a B&T QD suppressor for the TP9.  The dealer got my check on April 29, 2019 and sent the suppressor on 5/2/19.  I was surprised it showed up with the TP9 I ordered at the same time.   Now if only Form 4 times were as fast as Form 1 times.
