Didn't Trump Jr talk a lot about how he was gonna reform the whole system including suppressors etc? And then Las Vegas happened and Trump banned bump stocks and that whole movement went away?

Yeah, definitely this.

I have a silencer in jail and it's in jail even longer because I moved recently. Updated my address in the nfa site but didn't update it in silencershop.com. Waited the original wait time to find out it was rejected due to the address differentiation and had to start the wait over.

One of my closest friends who has an FFL and a Silencer Shop kiosk said that he got one back in 4 days a couple of weeks ago.

Said there are a bunch from July to Nov that are not approved, but most all from Dec, half from Jan and several from Feb have been approved.

Efile form 4 have been wicked short lately I’m seeing on multiple accounts. That’s it though, no other way.

here's what i'm seeing on Facebook and Reddit. send an email to this address:

Nicsliason@fbi.gov

if they haven't ran your background check, it will tell you that there are no submissions with your info.

if they have ran your background check, it will tell you that everything was done and sent back to the ATF.

it might take a few days to get a response. i've also read that email your state's US representative/senator will get the ball rolling as well.



eta: wouldn't hurt to include the control number in the email.

Seems like the ones that been waiting will be long like it used to be and the new ones are going super fast. I have seen some reports on form 4s in hours not days iirr.

I just got a form 1 for a sbr in a trust back in 2 days. I am about to do a suppressor once the form 3 transfer is complete so we shall see.

Because they don't want you to have them IMO. Seeing how fast they are doing them now since they are getting slack for it and having to report to congress about it tells me its possible to approve them MUCH faster than they have been.

Our gooberment is deathly scared of them. Afraid you’re going to sneak up on them. Remember, these idiots can’t even name the parts of a firearm and they are making policy.
Aren’t they supposed to be protecting citizens, not making them criminals………

I've been looking at the new Spectre Cat White Bread Titanium.

That would be pretty amazing on the front of my Radian with the thermal on it.

6.9oz is just ridiculous.
