First of the SBR stamps came through today. Applied 01/27/23, approved 04/03/23. 66 total days.

No word yet on the 2nd one.

32 days to get the paid for Form 1 suppressor stamp (applied on 1/27/23 also). 66 days to get the first amnesty SBR. The 2nd amnesty SBR application was denied in April because supposedly my place of birth on my EFT didn't match my place of birth on my application (they did match, of course). I tried calling and asking on the FAQ if it could be reconsidered, but finally gave up and sent a new identical application on 05/15/23. It was finally approved today.

So either 100 days or 208 days, depending on which start date you use. Oh well - I finally got it!

I got an e-file Form 4 back today for a silencer on a trust. It was filed on 01/05/2023, for a total of 232 days. Not great, but I was expecting October.

Needs to be a law that after 120 days you are auto approved.

2 weeks? Is there any reason a background check should take longer?

In the age of instant background checks, you should be able to walk out with it same day.

I was allowing for the fact that the ATF will never give up their $200 extortion funding and that Congress would never pass a law repealing the NFA. Of course ALL of the NFA items should able to be bought over the counter at your local friendly gun store with nothing more than the standard background check. But when has our government ever rolled back a bloated bureaucratic process?
