    I have a friend that is purchasing/ purchased a silencer(or supressor) thru Silencer Central.Her forms were submitted to atf on about March 10th. Almost 6 months? What wait times are you all hearing?

    It's running about 6-9 months on eForm 4s right now. Silencer shop made a big deal out of the 90 days claim but they neglected to mention only "eventually" it will get down to 90. eForms didn't launch for Form 4s until the very end of December 2021 and it wasn't until the middle of January and February that places finally got the kinks worked out to go majority eForms. Up to that point they were still using traditional paper forms and those are running a year or more from submission date. I predict we'll see a big drop on eForm wait times around March or April next year when the final bulk of paper forms finally clear out.

    For reference, I purchased a silencer 2/23 and wasn’t approved till 9/09/22. 198 day wait. This was specifically an eform. Waits are only going up so tell your friend a 200 day wait minimum. If it was a paper form them potentially upwards of over 1 year wait.

    Check out the Reddit NFA sub forum. A lot of people post their current wait times and there is a thread dedicated to people’s wait times. It will give you a good idea of how the atf is progressing.

    I've 2 that are well over a year! I've complained to NFA Branch about their poor training videos, but no one there cares, as long as the $Money$ keeps flowing in.................!
