Purchased my first can on 15Jan through a Silencer Shop 'powered' FFL and completed the registration through their kiosk that day. Information from the FFL was entered on 31Jan and Silencer Shop is now working on the paperwork. There are definitely issues with the Silencer Shop portal and FFLs are having some issues trying to get the information into their system to even start the Form 4 paperwork.

I heard the efile process was screwed up. They say the system crashes like it’s cool and then won’t come back up for days.

Just picked up the second one a few days ago. Almost a year form stamp cashed date.

Still waiting I am at just shy of 9 months. Wondering if Sleepy Joe is going to screw it all up for me.

Was finally able to get up to TSA certify my forms yesterday. Had a good conversation with the gentleman up there that handled the ATF transactions. Apparently what happened at the start of the eForms rollout was that the ATF updated their portal to use a CAPTCHA during the process and broke the silencershop software. They had to completely rebuild to get that to work the the updates the ATF made.
He also said that it would likely be 120 days or less. He's seeing a lot of items come back that were certified in Feb. Good news is a lot of the traffic that rushed in when eForms popped up have worked their way through and he anticipates the wait will get down to 60-90 days once all of that is out of the system.
Just in time for me to have saved up for a 5.56 can!

Also sitting at 11 months.
I called the ATF in April to get a status. They said 9 months is typical. I was at 8.5 months at the time. I was "pending". I.e. they cashed the check and hadn't yet gotten to my paperwork.
I've been trying to forget about it and let it be like surprise Christmas.

Yes, I’ve already got my next one in mind and it’s killing me not to order but savings my funds for vacation prior to ordering it.
The shortest wait time I’ve heard is 6 weeks using the efile system. Don’t know about that but I’m going to give it a shot on my next one.

Agreed. They should be sold in any sporting good or hardware store. My hearing would be a lot better today if I had one in my youth.

I was considering ordering my next through Silencer Central. Anyone had any experience with those guys? They say they have streamlined the process, thoughts?
