Their guide is out of date. NFA tracker's raw data is good and useful, their chart on the 1st page is out of date(still has F4 e-file data). The best I have found is the reddit sticky NFA wait time thread, updated several times daily by forum users. Waiting on an Oculus from 11-4-20 myself, so keeping a close eye on it. Seems that about 3/4 are between 130-160 days, a few are quicker (active duty getting deployed are expedited), but most of the rest are longer due to a paperwork issue, or unknown reasons, many are over 200 days. I usually call about 4 months after my check was cashed to verify pending date and that it is pending, then every month or so after just to make sure my FFL didn't forget to call, or couldn't reach me.
Thanks!
All things considered I'll probably wait a couple more weeks and then reach out just to see. What is the easiest way to do it, call or use the "ask an expert"?
Seems most coming back on the Reddit thread over the last week are for October 2020, up to the 28th, so there is that.
You can call the ATF at 304-616-4500. need your serial#, dealer name and your name, they can give you the received date and the status(pending/approved/delayed), but that is about it.
My brother is in VA. He ordered a can on 10/3/20 though Silencer Shop. Stamp cashed 11/3. FFL called to let him know they got his stamp 3/24/21.
I ordered mine 10/7/20, ck cashed 11/17/20. Hopefully I'll be soon.
NFA trust. Form 4. Purchased 10/5/20. Dealer called today (3/26/21) and said they got the stamp. Picking up tomorrow.
You got a delay on your background check. I got a delay too and submission to approval was 5 months and 16 days. Embrace the suck....Hell I am still waiting on my eForm 1 submitted Feb 1. Going on 60 days now.
My check(s) were cashed on 10/29, and I still haven't heard anything yet. You'll be waiting a while longer, I'm afraid.Dang. Still pending. That said, in pulling up my SS orders to grab the serial rather than rooting around in my "gun folder" in my filing cabinet for the trust document looks like my actual dates were 10/31 received at dealer, 11/21 check cashed by ATF.
So I am probably a few weeks behind the folks just getting theirs back that had their checks cashed in October. Lady I spoke with did mention they are generally running about 7 months right now, but of course no guarantees.

Call NFA Branch. Ask about the status of your application. I'm telling you that you're looking at a 4+ month long wait, on top of the 30 days on a eForm 1.What number at ATF do you call to pester someone?
What the hell?
Ah. I understand now. My form 3 was approved and my can is on the way to my Silencer Shop FFL. This should be a interesting journey for automation.At first, i misunderstood Form 3 was not same as Form 4 and just waited and waited.
Then sent in documents which never made it.
I had trouble corralling trustee paperwork for a long whole after the rules changed.
But SilencerShop saved the day
