NFA wait times and BS thread

Received my last can 14 months after application under the old system. Last one was completed electronically and was projected to arrive last month. We’ll see. ATF is short staffed on NFA stuff to begin with then they arbitrarely make up new rules. So now they are busy approving sbr’s. Unk if they kicked suppressors to the side as they deal with the pistol issue.

 

Ordered my first suppressor on Sunday, we'll see how this goes.

 

What did ya get?

 

Ecco Machine Ocelot. Amir already has me looking at more

 

I've never tried any of Ecco's own suppressors, but their adapters for other companies are better quality than OEM imho

 

Everything silencer shop has been posting lately has moved from 260-265 days to the 270s lately. So efile basically where paper forms were before efile started

 

I’m about to pull the trigger on another can so I was perusing the Reddit stamp approval thread today and most in there were 270-280 days.

 

Filed e-form on 6/9/22 and got approved 3/15/23 for my Dead Air Wolverine.

 

Just put a Dead Air Wolfman in jail, time for the waiting game to begin… again.

 

I’m about 210 days in on an eform 4 Rugged Obsidian45.

Longest 90 days ever.

 

I've been watching snippets of the Congressional hearings about the pistol braces. One congressman brought up the ATF data on annual registration of SBRs and based on that number extrapolated that, if every brace owner decided to register their pistols as SBRs, it would take 78 years to clear all of the paperwork...

 

2 weeks after buying I finally certified my Wolfman this morning. Now the clock actually starts.

Apparently the connection between silencer shop’s system and eforms is held together with Elmer’s glue and popsicle sticks.

 

Eforms is held together with popsicle sticks, the SiShop full auto program has its quirks/bugs but I would say 70% of issues I see online are dealer issues and not actually the software.
I’ve walked several people through the steps when they had an incompetent dealer and would post about it on Facebook.

 

That’s fair and I kinda suspect my dealer was dragging their feet. It was ready to certify for 12 days before “eforms was cooperating” according to them. Every time I called they’d say eforms isn’t working right now but they’re trying to do it.

but no big deal, paperwork is in. Now time to try and forget about the can until around Christmas time.

 

51 days.

 

Received it about a week ago at 235ish days.

 

FYI. The TLDR version they're gunning for full on ban and surrender via "buyback" no grandfathering.

Hopefully it stands as good of a chance at passing as the bills to abolish the NFA.

 

Finally got the call that my MOD9 SK is ready to be picked up (a week after ATF emailed me saying the Form4 was approved). Still waiting on the YHM Resonator that was purchased the day before and certified two weeks earlier than the MOD9 SK...

Resonator - Purchased 08/16/22, certified 08/24/22.
MOD9 SK - Purchased 08/17/22, certified 09/07/22, Form4 approved 05/31/23

 

Whats going on with the brace/sbr ATF rulings? Any solid info or just still alot of confusion?
