I received two on Form 3's today:
SBR submitted 5/22/13 approved 7/25/13
Silencer submitted 5/27/13 approved 7/27/13

Willie Lowman · August 13, 2013, 07:08 PM

Just got mine. Total wait from check being cashed to stamp being in hand, 32 weeks.

tmorone · August 14, 2013, 09:05 PM

Dogtown- I just almost threw my computer. Then I realized you said Form THREE! Was about to be mighty jealous of you.

balyon85 · August 14, 2013, 11:02 PM

Mailed my paperwork on Friday to sbr my PAP M92 AK.....trying to just live and let go for a while.

Willie Lowman · August 15, 2013, 06:22 AM

In 2008 I had two transfers take somewhere around two and a half months.

If you are sending one in right now, expect it to be about nine months.

Last summer I had to wait six months to get four SBS shotguns approved... for a police department. NFA said they received only 2 of the 4 apps, which made no sense because we faxed them all at once with a cover sheet saying how many pages, etc. Then followed by mail. I think it just a paperwork glitch, everybody we dealt with was real nice and anxious to get it resolved.

Just picked up my two suppressors today! Now off to try them out.

Good thing its a form 1 so I have the gun in pistol configuration, so I can still take it to the range. Guess that's perfect medication for anxiously waiting.

skizzums · August 26, 2013, 06:13 PM

nothing to do with your class, but the last two handguns i have bought i had to wait up to two days just to get my "instant" background check done. my store says everyone is having a delay on NICS now. really blows

shokkazulu · August 30, 2013, 11:37 AM

Check was cashed the first week in February (at work and can't recall the date) still waiting.

zTimbo · August 30, 2013, 03:12 PM

I sent my form 4 about a month ago, can't wait to get this thing in my possession

kawasakifreak77 · September 18, 2013, 07:47 AM

Sent my paperwork off a week ago for a YHM 7.62 phantom. My local dealer had it on the shelf so that saves some time. He took me out with it after I got some subs & let me shoot it which was SO COOL!

Basically turned my rifle into a pellet gun in the noise department.

I've been playing a lot of Call of Duty on Xbox, closest thing to getting my fix for shooting a silencer I've found, lol.

Elkins45 · March 5, 2014, 01:37 PM

I send a form 1 and a form 4 in early and mid April, received my stamps in early and late February. About 10 months.

CreepyCarbine · March 5, 2014, 03:11 PM

I just got a form back for a suppressor. I got it back earlier than most of the dealers so he says.

It was 11 months and 3 days from the date it was submitted.
