I’m thinking that would be an interesting tale……

I'm pretty sure it involved pushing a hole in the backseat of my gto and a girl from chevy chase, md.

I'm thinking that things have slowed down for a couple of reasons.
1. Everybody and their brother has seen the fast approval times and has got into the game.
2. Somebody decided to many people were getting involved and decided to "slow things down".
I say this because over the last 2 months I have had 3 approved. 1 in 2 days, 1 in 3 days and 1 in 5 days, this last was over the July 4th holiday weekend.
My latest, submitted in August is hitting 3 weeks, as of today.
Not what I was expecting, but a huge improvement over the 10 to 12 months of a year or two ago.
Patience is a virtue, except when you are waiting for your suppressor form 4 approval.

LOL.
With growing up just outside of DC, I have many friends that work for different agencies inside of the Beltway. I can call them up and ask wtf is this taking so long????? They just laugh at me and then say, I'll stop by your moms and tell her what you really did the summer of 75.

Friends?

Who'd have thought?

Well, I never would've.

My grandfather once told me your 4-5 friends in elementary school will be your friends for life.
He was right.

 

[Creedmoor]

With that, you hurt my last feeling.

Seems more random. Mine was less than 48 hrs submitted on 8/26.

Well, damn, maybe they figure I've had enough for a while.

 

[Codyf44]

60 days and counting...... I've done 3 total at different times during these past 60 days.. E Forms, mailed prints on 2 and EFT on one.

 

[Aszerigan]

Nothing has slowed down, I’m still getting approvals in batches. Some are next day, three days, a week, some are 30 days. Not many past that. Occasionally there are but @chezuki and @Expat aren't the typical times.

I’ll email the FBI and shake some trees. I did last week and some approvals fell out.

Eform 4 suppressor, Trust
Submitted 8/2
Approved 9/18

 

[Nicu757]

Drives me nuts seeing others file on trusts 8/2/24 and get back 9/18/24, when I file 12/27/23 and its 9/19/24 and still do not have it back.......

Hard to follow what they are doing when I go from 2 days turn around to who knows…

 

[rb288]

Yep, 3 individual form 4s approved in the last few months, the longest being 5 days over the 4th weekend.
Now, my latest is at 4 weeks.
Oh, well, better than the 12 months of the last few years.
Well, patience is a virtue, except when you're waiting for a form 4 approval. Then it's just a pain in the behind.

Not sure how @Aszerigan did it, but I went from waiting 10+ months on my first few suppressors to the latest one approved today, in a mere 43 hours*! I will say, there is a major downside to this… namely to my wallet.

*results may vary

Now I'm super jealous. I've been waiting since 08/24/24, not a long time or anything but I also purchased mine through @Aszerigan. Guess I just need a extra look or something.

In fairness, my first 3-4 cans I bought from him took months… but his willingness to advocate on my behalf a few times now seems to have helped with the last couple. You probably just have to buy a few more! Lol

 

[rb288]

Well, finally got my Omega9K approved, 5 weeks, which is better than 11 or 12 months, for sure.
This will be my last, at least for a while.
I think 12 is enough.
