I received 8 F4 approvals yesterday with pending dates from March to September. Looks like they are willing to do batches to try and clear out the paper backlog.

Ahhhhhhhh… 😉 356 days and still waiting. Last suppressor prior to these two took 270 days from purchase to pick up. Glad I’m in no hurry… lol.
Peace.

Of course I will be interested to see if they really “git ‘er done” in 90 days with efile. That would make more purchases a serious consideration. Hell, I’m old. I’ll be dead before these get approved. 😉
Tried to get on the ATF efile site today. It was down.
“We’re working to get back online as soon as possible”.
I was shocked!
Seriously though, I went through a couple of total computer system changes before I retired and I realize that it often takes years to sort these things out, especially with all new software, regardless of the testing done before going live. Just be patient. 😉 lol

From the ATF website regarding NFA item processing (Not sure what any of it means. I can only guess…):
What we’re doing to improve
ATF is currently applying additional overtime resources and providing an increased level of effort to the research and perfection of pipeline applications. ATF will continue to surge application processing 7 days a week.ATF is also diligently working to bring tax paid applications to the eForms portal for efficient workflow management.
Lastly, all business processes are being re-examined to maximize efficiency of paper application handling and leverage technology where possible.

Octane 45 (2)
Purchased: 3/3/2021
Check Cashed: 3/19/2021
Approved: 2/18/2022 (the same day I called to check status, and was told it was pending)
In Hand: 3/7/2022This is the second time that I have had a stamp approved on the day that I called to check. Both times it was 9+ months after check cashed, but is interesting that it has happened twice that way. I do not encourage calling and bothering the friendly folks at the BATFE on a regular basis, but seems that once you get to the 9 or 10 months, it might be worth a call.

Purchase stamp 3/4/21
Stamp cashed 3/27/21
I’m still waiting 3/9/22
I called ATF a month or two ago, but all they said was “it’s being processed”. I asked my FFL, and they said they get the stamp mailed to them and they would call me when it gets there. I don’t want to irritate my dealer, or the ATF, but what else can I do at this point?- 03/09/2022 at 4:55 pm #111986
Dan,
Hang in there. I am in the same boat. My FFL dealer said that it is taking 30-45 days for the stamp to arrive after the approved date.

Don’t feel so bad, I’m on day 404, called ATF twice, said its in the queue. Funny thing of it was, last Silencer I bought was approved in 6 months. Just crazy. What I would love to know, is what takes these guys so long to approve things. Like you have everything you need, with the computer age here, you would think it could be done in a matter of weeks, not years. With the touch of a key on a computer keyboard, you know instantly whether or not a person will be approved or not. And after multiple buys, that were approved in the past, you would think it would be just couple of weeks. Anytime you deal with the Feds, its like waiting for a glacier to melt, it’s that bloody slow.

I just called the ATF and they said the wait time might be going over 13 months. The ATF has had my suppressor paper work for over 10 months now, and it is yet to be assigned to an examiner.
I used silencer shop, the paperwork has a bar code the ATF can scan and my information is populated on the computer. How hard is it to hit a button to do a background check and mail a stamp? Apparently this arduous task takes over 10 months! One could build a new house or conceive and deliver a new human into the world in this time. The Government can figure out how to scan a bar code and hit a button in the same time period.
This is unbelievable!

Don’t feel bad I am in the same boat. Just got off the phone with them and still pending. I am also at ten months. Have three others I did not wait nearly this long on.

Here you go, proof of life. An 8//26/2021 & 11/4/2021 Individual “batch” approval on 4/16/22. About right for the first one (close to 8 months) & a little quicker on the second one, around 5 months). My dealer (Eric of JEP Firearms, the BEST BTW!!!), received the stamps yesterday 4/23 with a postmark on the envelopes of 4/20, so 5 days to get the envelopes to the Post Office after approval and 4 days to receive them once they were mailed. Not too shabby on the approval turn around time & stamp delivery. Biggest plus for me is that I have NO MORE Form 1 or Form 4 items in the NFA paper queue. It’s all eForms from this point on for me. For those of you still waiting, especially you 1+ year guys, something isn’t right about that & I’d be calling ATF WV on a daily basis and calling, writing & emailing my US Rep & Senators on the same frequency and complain on every NFA board you visit…

I efiled an F4 individual that went pending on 4/15/22, I’m at 108 days right now and hoping to get it within the next month or month and a half tops. We’ll see if we go over 6 months on what was supposed to be a ~90-day turnaround.
