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.

Both of the ones below from a local shop through Silencer Shop.
I ordered one on 1-6-2021 - Stamp Cashed 1-26-2021 and was approved 11-1-2021. (9 months from date stamp cashed)
The second was done 2-6-2021 - Stamp Cashed 3-11-2021 and is still Pending in process. (10 months still pending)
I am curious of the effect the new efile will have on all of the ones that were already pending in process as they have to transfer resources and training for the new the process.

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!

Sitting at 11 months and still waiting.

I'm at 5 months.

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 me too. But it’s not working out real well.

One year and five days later I finally picked up my can and stamp.

Congrats!!

I placed mine June 22 2021. Paper. Trust. Still awaiting ATF approval.

 

[Nick992]

Just got the call from my LGS. My suppressor is finally out of ATF paperwork jail! One year and two weeks from check clearing.
Paper system, individual (i.e. no trust)

I'm looking forward to using the e-file for my future ones

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.

Just got notified of my ATF approval! Filed electronically & took 8 months.

So fast for something you shouldn't have to do in the first place.

Congrats man that's great news.

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.

How does one do the fingerprint card and picture? Will the BATF accept a scanned PDF of the same?

 

[guitarfan70]

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