Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Suppressor Stamp

My FFL dealer's license number had changed since the Form 4 was submitted and they had to give the valid number.

Just got my stamp for my Silencerco Sparrow. Paperwork was submitted on March 25 along with the paperwork for my Omega, which came in a couple of weeks ago. Based on those two, 7.5-8 months now for approvals. Still have a Form 4 for an Osprey and a Form 1 for an SBR outstanding.

Got mine in 7 months

I sure hope they talk about removing gun-smithing from the ITAR.

Sycamore

one only suppressor 7-1/2-8 months
shipped from stock to the dealer and my dealer was perfectly willing to rent me range time to play with it.

I mailed the first one on a new trust on 4/15/16, and picked it up yesterday. Ihave another about a month later, and one from July after 41F.

Cool!

I have one left from mid-May, was hoping to have it and my SBR form 1 approvals by end of Jan.

I think your expectation is realistic. Seems like 8 months is the norm at present.

BATFE cashed my check on 4-15, approved on 11-27, and my FFL says he still hasn't received it from BATFE. I called them Friday asked nicely if it was mailed, and the jerk just kept harshly stating they have 30 days to mail it.

As I and at least one other fire member (Flave) have found out the hard way (and now you), there are some douchenozzles in the suppressor business.

Very true. Luckily here in the Liberal Capitol of Texas, we have 2 really good dealers--Silencer Shop and Capitol Armory. I've used Capitol Armory for my last 5 or 6 purchases, and will continue to do so.

My latest purchase was mailed May 10th and I'm still waiting.

Word to the wise. Just don't use Colonial Armory.

Ruger280, did you ever post a range report on the Omega .30 cal?

I picked up my Sparrow SS last Wednesday. I mailed it on 7/23/16. It went pending on 8/1/16. The dealer got it the Thursday before Labor Day, but did not notify me until the day after Labor Day.

FYI- the number I found to call NFA to check status of your Form 4's. 7 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. West Virginia. EST.

304-616-4500

Called NFA today. My stamps are a long way out. Partly because of my trust and partly because of errors in the adminstration of such.

I will pass on a couple facts I learned during a long conversation with a very nice person at NFA.

1. August 2016 Form 4 approvals are nearing completion.
2. Single person Form 4's are processed faster than trusts.

Picked up Silencerco Omega and stamp today. Docs signed March.2017. Have been doing my cans in a trust. This one was no different.
17 months.

All background checks now being done by FBI.

Average times start to finish now running 4-7 months, possibly longer with trusts, according to my FFL/LGS owner.

Happy to finally get the Omega home. The Ruger Predator 6.5 Creed (among others) has been patiently waiting.

I bet you'll like that combo. Different suppressors but same rifle for me; I find it very pleasant to shoot suppressed, and noticeably quieter than the AR stuff.

Yondering, thanks. Looking forward to getting out and shooting it. Have quietly and methodically been buildimg a decent stash of good ammo for the Creed while waiting on the can. All bought on sale.

Maybe pick up some more if I fimd good deals on Labor Day sales.
