Looks like things should be speeding up soon, ATF now using a barcode system to input data into there system when application being processed.

I heard in one of the threads(and I think it was SS that said it) that they are planning to clear out the entire backlog of current forms within 2-3 months from now. |

If you use a Siencershop kiosk it also works for form 1's regular dealers can use the barcode system to but only for form 4's.
Silencershop alone has submitted a little over 3000 already with the barcode, once the back log is cleared your looking at alot faster wait times. |

No the backlog should be cleared in 2-3 months, then after that submissions done with the barcode are expected/projected to take no more than 90 days.
So the future is 90 day turnaround time, and hopefully/supposedly it permanently stays like that. This was supposedly done by SS/gemtech and another company together with the ATF because HPA has no chance of passing. So if your on the fence, don't be, your just losing/wasting time. |
| That would be nice. I have one pending for an SBR and have been pondering a second suppressor so I have one 30 and one for 5.56 and other 22's. My 30 cal can is fairly overbuilt for the lighter calibers even though it's mostly for a 300blk shooting subs. I wanted to be able to use it on my 308 with full power ammo without issues. I could probably shave 1/3 of the weight and still be hearing safe on subsonic 223 loads (bolt gun in that case). I mostly got into cans because I started to get the first touch of tinnitus even though I always wear ear pro. I hate doubling up so adding even a minimal can with supers really helps. Subs make it awesome when shooting outside. I figure a 6" long, 1.25" diameter ti tube with three ti baffles and a stainless blast baffle will be about perfect. Still light enough to be reasonable on a 22lr, even a pistol if I ever buy a pre-ban model or move out of this state. |

Here I was, resigned to a 10-12 month wait where I could just forget about it and be pleasantly surprised next summer, and you guys come along and get my hopes up. MAGA |

I was at Delta earlier and asked about wait times. I was told about 5 months currently. ATF Approval Times |

Who ever wants to buy, buy now before everyone finds out times are down because they'll be back up to a year once people do find out. |
