Submitted form 1 today for can #2, last one was approved in 24 days so hopefully it will run about the same timeframe.
My form 4 individual, check cashed 12/25/20, and still pending. I called ATF yesterday, Rebecca said “pending, we’re running about 7 months”. I told her I’m almost at 8 months and counting (we’re in the 8th month but not completed yet until September), she didn’t speak a word after that. I was planning on at least 3 more cans and buying them all at the same time very soon, until this process has stalled. Hopefully I don’t ultimately get rejected for some reason unbeknownst to me, I’m not spending more money and going thru this painfully stupid process again until I get the first one thru successfully.Form 4
Check cashed 12/28/20
Tax stamp at dealer 8/11/21

Good idea, I’ll spread the next 3 out a few months, then sometime approximately next Spring I’ll get new toys unexpectedly every so often. No hurry on those future ones, this first one is going on my SR-25 to hunt with this season, I need to mount it and get dialed in ahead of time and I’m usually terrible with dragging my feet frequently on things like this, so the sooner the better.Relax, there was a time when stamps were taking a year+. You will get it when you get it. There is nothing you can do but wait and put more in the system. Buy those 3 one a month so you will have stamps showing up for a while. Its like a long Christmas season.

I’m much better with impulse purchases, waiting isn’t my strong suit on expensive purchases that I don’t truly need.
Owner of a full size salvo 12 here. Unless you just can’t afford the extra cost, are getting a screaming deal, or have experience with the salvo, I would recommend you purchase the full size and buy the rods to run it in K configuration while you’re waiting. Reason being that it’s not really that much more expensive, and it gives you more versatility down the road. Plus it’s not like you can buy the baffle modules to make it longer if you change your mind and decide you wanted the full size model.Now to get ball rolling on the salvo k sitting at my buds shop

Calling to check status rarely does any good beyond making you feel like you’re doing something. That said, I’ve had two instances where USPS has lost my tax stamps, and either me or my dealer calling allowed us to facilitate getting a certified copy and eventual transfer. But I have a lot of tax stamps, so that’s only about 10% of my form 4s.FINALLY!
Form 4 Individual, thru SilencerShop kiosk
Check cashed 12/25/20
Approved 8/17/21
LGS called 9/2/21
Took possession 9/3/21
* ATF tracker said less than 200 days, ATF phone line said 7 months - mine took 8 months and 2 days (236 days to approval & it took a while to get to my FFL, 249 days in total to possession.
The part that miffs me (other than the lack of instant purchase gratification) is that I called after 8/17 and they told me it was pending, when apparently it had in fact already been approved on 8/17.
FINALLY!

I only called because SilencerShop recommended I call. SilencerShop sent me a strangely worded email saying “Great news, your suppressor has been released from ATF jail”, and also that “now that you have your suppressor, here are some items you may need...”. I called my FFL & told him about this email and he said the paperwork wasn’t backnyet. I emailed SilencerShop and they told me that was a generic email, badically a sales tactic in case my stamp was approved at that point. They recommended I check the NFA tracker and call the ATF office. I did both, both said pending, 7 months (but it was already one month longer). SilencerShop apologized in that 2nd email for the misleading wording. I was ok waiting for all that time, up until SilencerShop led me to believe I was held up longer for some reason. I figured calling any government agency was pointless, especially that one. I was following instructions from SilencerShop though I’m not sure what I was expecting to find out?Calling to check status rarely does any good beyond making you feel like you’re doing something.

It is unusual for them to give out bad info on the present status of the approval. I’m sure it happens occasionally, but I have to admit that your case is the first I’ve heard of in recent memory.I only called because SilencerShop recommended I call.

The part that I don’t like about the call was that I was actually approved at that point (approved 8/17, called on 19th IIRC) when I spoke to the lady that told me I was still “pending”.
