It did take a bit longer but I don’t think it was a month. They have a waiting period after notifying the local CLEO IIRC, maybe 5-10 days. It probably wasn’t the fastest but was definitely the easiest, especially if your SOT only has one guy that does NFA stuff and you have to catch him on the right day (my first can).

In NC, the FFL partner for Capitol Armory is already a solid guy. I haven’t ordered from Capitol, as I am $$ driven and have found deals that balanced out better going with other vendors. But I wouldn’t hesitate, and I love the “direct to door” idea.

I like to make conjugal visits to my cans while they are in jail so the CA option holds no interest to me. Plus, some folks have had up to a month delay waiting for CLEO notification post stamp approval. That would annoy me. However, if I didn't have the option to make conjugal visits I would consider them for sure.

They collect excise tax when you buy tires, road tax when you buy fuel, income tax in your paycheck, whatever tax when you buy ammo…Originally Posted by Stickman
Agree 100%! I hit can’t they collect tax when you buy a suppressor? Stupid!

The purpose of the process and tax isn't revenue; it's to be a deterrent. Even the ATF readily admits that the original $200 tax was onerous, and the equivalent of about $4,500 in today's dollars. How many NFA items would be sold today if the tax stamp was $4,500?

It’d be like machine guns.

It almost was. In 1986 the original Hughes / Rondino version included all NFA weapons (suppressors, SBRs, SBS and AOWs) and was to be a closed "non transferable" registry. That meant if YOU owned them in 1986, you were the last owner. They could not be Form 5 to a lawful heir or anyone else.
That means almost NOBODY today would own anything NFA. If anyone ever wondered why Reagan signed FOPA 86, that is the reason why. The version everyone else was trying to push through was the end of everything, without any of the benefits that removed parts of the 1968 GCA. And if Reagan had not signed FOPA 86, it's a safe bet that Bush 41 would have signed some version of the Hughes / Rodino ban which simply closed the NFA registry as soon as he got into office. He had no trouble signing the 89 import ban and that only covered semi autos.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

I received an email today from Capital Armory that the Form 4 was approved. I also received an email from the ATF. My other suppressor that was submitted on the same day (01-10-24) was approved yesterday, so the approval time for both was within a day. Now to see how long it takes the suppressor to get to my door.

Well, things didn't work out as they were supposed to. The Resilient RS9 suppressor was supposed to be on its way to me, but I received an email from Capitol Armory telling me that the Form 4 was disapproved due to an issue with the serial number. Apparently, the ATF approved Resilient's serial numbers, but later decided that they could not be used. They informed Resilient that all of the suppressors in the impacted range had to be destroyed.The odd thing is that the ATF never emailed me a notice that the suppressor was disapproved. To their credit, Capitol Armory was on top of it. They promptly had me go through the Form 4 process for another RS9 that has a serial number that's higher than the impacted range. Meanwhile, Resilient offered anyone impacted the opportunity to place one order for as many suppressors as they want at 50% off of MSRP. I don't at all blame Resilient or Capitol Armory for the minor inconvenience of having to fill out another Form 4 and wait for another approval, but I'm certainly willing to buy suppressors at half off! I emailed Resilient and was promptly sent a coupon code for 50% off. I bought two Putnik suppressors (for AK's) and one Jolene (for up to 30cal rifles). Though I placed the order on Resilient's website, Capitol Armory is actually handling the transfers. I just had to select them at checkout. A few days ago I went through the process of filling out the Form 4's online with a Capitol Armory representative. Today I received an email from the ATF that the replacement RS9 is approved. At this point I obviously don't have the four suppressors yet, but I can say that Capitol Armory definitely has their act together and operates like a well-oiled machine. For their part, Resilient is more than fair to its customers. I'll keep y'all updated.

They only gave you half the story. The reason why the ATF denied the serial number run was because they were duplicate numbers that Resilient had already used on other models of cans. Good they are taking care of you, and I dislike the ATF as much as the next guy, but this one was on them from what I can tell. It's very un DeadAir of themWell, things didn't work out as they were supposed to.
