NFA wait times and BS thread

I think they’re averaging about 14 months for paper forms

 

I'd like that but I really don't. Pulled the trigger on that can before eForms was announced. Now I wish I'd waited

 

I purchased a can 11/6/21 and it was cashed 11/24/21, if I had waited a few weeks it would’ve been an Efile also, still waiting on that as well as my Efile that I submitted mid/late April of this year.

 

I'm going to be ordering a dead air primal in late Nov if that clears before my tbac I'll be really mad lol

 

Eforms are probably going to take 6+ months for the foreseeable future. If I didn’t know better I would say that ATF/FBI are trying to discourage people from purchasing NFA items by making form 4 times long and encouraging people to form 1 manufacture/register by trying to keep those wait times down.

 

Except they’ve practically stopped approving form 1 cans under the assumption everyone is using a solvent trap kit. They’re also denying forms for people that intend to actually machine their own from scratch.

I was originally planning to get another can this fall but given the current eforms clusterf*!k I’ll prolly hold off and wait till things catch up. According to the eform approval thread on Reddit they’re still working on February forms. eForms is gonna catch up to paper form wait times before we know it.

 

E-Filed Form 1 (SBR) on 8/16 and mailed prints the next day. Approved today.

 

Gemtech Integra 15-22.
Paper, trust with 1 RP.

Ordered from Silencer Shop 10/13/2021
Check cashed 11/17/2021
Approved 10/09/2022
Stamp arrived at LGS 10/18/2022
Picked up 10/21/2022

So, just about a yr from when I ordered from SS to when stamp arrived at LGS.

 

I'm assuming cashed date was 2021 if ordered 10/21

If so that gives me a little hope 11/17/21 was my cashed date

 

Yes, sorry. Imagine if you didn't have to pay until after it was approved....

 

they’d be processing form4s in days instead of months/years!

 

Hoping it clears soon it's getting to be long range season in AZ and getting the TBAC for the Tikka will be nice. Been a while since I've shot it been trying to get the stupid AR308 running reliable with the can

 

Tired of waiting on the TBAC to clear so I moved my dead air brake over to the Tikka since I'm headed out to the long range range this weekend can at least run the sandman on it. Long Boi AR coming too

 

Been putting a few rounds through my Gemtech Integra 15-22.
I have found that it makes everything I feed into it what I would call hearing safe (no meter). Supersonic ammo is still loud enough to be easily detectable. CCI 40gr LRN Standard Velocity, CCI 40gr LHP Sub-Sonic, and Federal AE CPRN 45gr Suppressor are all down in sound to where the bolt is louder than the shot.
I am going to set up a target next day that it isn't raining to figure out which I will go with. I am thinking probably the CCI Standard Velocity or the Federal AE Suppressor. I will probably order 5k rounds to start and keep the 15k+ I have of supersonic ammo to use with the original upper or do some trading with it.

 

354 days later

 

I was notified on 10/20/22 that the can I purchased on 10/01/21 was ready for pickup. The Form 4 approval was dated 10/06/22.

 

My Bushwacker 46 was cashed 11/25/21
Approved 10/17/22 and I picked it up 10/25/22.

 

Anyone have experience with full auto .22LR?

I have been looking at getting one. Either a suppressed 10/22 or one of the 1919 clones like in the video below.

 

That's awful! Why would someone want something like that?! Send me the link so I know never to order one.

 

can’t speak from with first hand experience with those specifically but anything FA is fun as hell.

up side of 22 is you’d be able to shoot it alot more but I guess ammo prices are not the deal breaker if you can afford to get into the full auto game.
