Reising M50--still waiting

[Blitz10]

I filed by eform on 6/13/2022. I am now coming up on 7 months. Reading on wait times, Silencer Shop says average wait times is 8 months. Hopefully mine will not be above average. So what are some of your wait times for NFA items. I am beginning to get antsy the closer I get. I look on the ATF sight every 2 weeks and nothing is pending. I did go and look at it several months ago and it was nice.

It's an average.  There is one little old lady at ATF who processes Form4s in 30-60 days.  That skews the results even though she only does one a day on alternate Wednesdays after tea.  Most folks are realistically seeing closer to a year.

I have two customer's eform 4s submitted April 2022, still waiting for approval.

Took me 13 months on a trust, with most of the time just waiting in line.

Blitz,,,   I know how you feel with the waiting thing, been there and done that.  At least my transfer dealer has a shooting range and I had the privilege to shoot it any time I wanted I just had to leave it there.

When you finally get the call to come and get your "Baby"   the excitement will overwhelm you LOL

14 months on a suppressor thru the Silencer Shop.  I'm thinking they are skewing numbers on wait times so as not to scare off future customers. Been doing form 4's since 1977, longest wait ever and the last. 

Imagine if they actually have the upwards of 14 million pistol brace owners register those? Even if only 1 million comply, the wait times will be much longer.  The days of 3 to 6 month or less wait times are long gone.

Just put a 16 '' barrel and stock on it and be down with it,, those 11 1/2 barrels are so dang loud anyway.     But if they do comply it will take years and years to get a approval.

I amazingly got my Reising transferred on a Form 4 in 30 days back in 2008.  At that time I had a C&R.  Not sure if that was what sped the process up or if I just got lucky.

Approved after 267 days, a week short of 9 months!

Well Blitz it could be worse, “my” Reising is out of state on a paper form 4 from seller to his dealer, submitted just before E-file stood up.  Just shy of a year and still waiting. Hopefully I will get to shoot it before I die of old age🙄🙄.

Hi All,

Just had a pair of paper form 4's.  Right at a year in transfer.

BTW, USCS, if the seller would have been ok with it you could just get a C&R and it could have transferred directly to you on a paper Form 4.  Just sayin.

Yes, these are not the best of times for transfers.  When they moved to WV in the 2007 time-frame, I had another pair of Form 4's at 21 days from snail mail (nothing expedited) submitted to the seller's door.  I was shocked!

Worth the wait,

Grasshopper thanks for the advice, I’m still relatively new at the Class Three game.  This is my first C&R eligible gun and I’m not sure I knew at the start of all this you could do that with a C&R license.
