My SOT says they usually get form 4's back in about 4 months. The last couple they got back were just shy of 2. I'm hoping for the 2.

I'm waiting on my first can....submitted the Form 1 the last week of Nov 2010.  It's my understanding that you call 304-616-4500 to find out your assigned agent.  Are there any polite tactics to speed up the process?  Perhaps asking your agent for an update for the nfatracking website account?  It took me ~ 6months to get a C&R FFL several years back and the agent kept telling me it's coming at the 3 month mark....seems like a public tracking site with their names linked to the waits may pressure some agents some to get on the ball.....or at least quit spouting off inaccurate timelines.

My last Form4 just came back in exactly 12 weeks (3 months) mailbox to mailbox.  I got the call from my dealer to come pick up my suppressor almost a week ago.

I always bank on 6 months.  When it comes in early...well, then I'm pleasantly surprised!

I'm pending 50 days now.  

Hoping for that call any day now, but not holding my breath.

It took me right at 70 days when I got mine back in February.  My dealer said that they've been frequently getting about a two month turn around.

You guuys are depressing me. I'm still waiting on my can to be in stock at major malfunctions. Then i get to wait another 2 or 3 weeks to transfer to my dealer, then I get to start my paperwork.

I'm waiting on the SWR SPECWAR from MM. With that said... My second form 4 was sent out last week for an AAC Prodigy... and I'll be sending out my form 1 this week for my first SBR. THEN I'll be done for a while!!

R14. You must be waiting for the Sparrow. Ordered mine from MM yesterday to start the waiting game.

Well I called.....pending as of 25 Jan 2011 and told I'm looking at end of May or June.  Surprised it took almost 2 months to get a pending date.  Atleast the contact was professional.

AAC 762-SD
Form mailed February 14, 2011
Checked cashed: Can't track USPS Money Order.
Called yesterday and was notified "Not in system" yet.

So I decided to forget about it until my dealer calls to pick up can.

Oh and my next suppressor is on a Form 3.

Went pending on an m4-2000 January 7th and picked up the can yesterday.

Getting into the 80 day plus range on my Form 1 and Form 4 I sent out about the same time.

Shit I was betting on 4 months. Two would be great. I'd have it next month!

One can only hope.

i ordered mine last month in January and still waiting on it. at least my M42K arrived at the dealer and sent the paperwork off yesterday.

a 2month wait would be cool, the last few were 4-5months. All done as Individual transfers.

Well... my second check was cashed on 03/23 for the Prodigy. I still haven't sent out my form 1 yet to SBR my Ar.

Quick question for anyone that can help. Do I add the Lower to my property form on the trust before I sent it out since I already own it? Or do I wait to add it when the approved Form 1 gets back?

I may be wrong on this, but...I add items to my trust after they are approved.  But, you can put non-NFA items in your trust anyway, so since you already have the lower and you're registering to the trust as an SBR, then I'd think you might as well go ahead and put it in the trust.

I'm in the same boat.  Once it gets to my dealer and I get the paperwork sent off, I can just forget about it and get a nice surprise when I get the call.

I've got an SPR/M4 5.56 can went pending Jan 28th. A week away from 90 days since pending.  Trust.

It is absolutely ridiculous that these forms take this long to process in the 21st century with computers and instant access to information.  By the time you get a can purchased, transferred to your dealer and then transferred to yourself, they have new, better shit out on the market.

When I started buying cans several years ago, and SBR'ing rifles, the form 1 and form 4 were taking 30 days.  My first 4 transfers were 30 days or under.  All this delay is pure politics and a function of the Obummer adminstruation

I just picked up my suppressor and Form 4 the other day and it was 88 days door to door.  The Form 3 took something like 90 days to clear which seemed excessive.

Bought my Osprey 9 (in stock) in early January, but I think it sat on my sot's desk for a while since my check wasnt cashed till 3/28!!! Oh well, I got a great deal so I don't really mind. Anyway called today and found out that I went pending on 4/12 and am currently "under review" ... Whatever that means. My sot said he has been getting most forms back in less than two months, some as fast as a month! Snook used to handle his form 4's but from the looking I have done recently it looks like shipman is now handling the "S's" hoping to get good news soon

They will never waste any time getting your check cashed, but you can count on them taking forever for anything else.

Malcolm must have sent both of ours in at the same time! Which can did you end up going with?

I added a SS Sparrow to an existing trust.

Form 4 mailed on 2/25.
Approval 4/22.

Though, I think it's odd that the thing was approved on the very, and only, day that I called.
