    Has anyone had the turn around time using E forms for a trust anywhere close to 90 days. Also do they figure this by working days or calendar days. Thanks.

    Probably yes but it’s misleading.
    People at first were posting online fast turnaround but that was due to the fact it was a new system and they started pulling from the pool of efiles right away to work on the system. So while they are doing efiles it’s at a much slower rate until they get all the paper forms caught up. Some will complain ether way and some will say I’m totally wrong. I’m just going by what my shop and other people I know that run a business. I’m sure there’s both ends of the story but I’m referring to average. The suppressor companies have been pushing the 90 days or less turnaround to boost sales and it has and only made the delay greater.

    Thanks I have heard similar comments about the 2 types of applications.

    I'm at 120+ days on two E-Forms but going by some of the postings above, I probably have to wait three times as long before my cans are let out of jail. Oh well, my Mom used to say that patience is a virtue!

    I was at 100+ days when my app got kicked out due to a SS error. I ordered on Dec 25th, certified on March 18, recertification June 25th. It's going to be a full year for me...

    The Boyz Against Things Fun and Exciting say 100 days, but they haven't updated their official wait times since June 30th...so yeah, take that for what it's worth. I'm something like 160 days in jail on my eFrom 4s for a trust and not expecting them any time soon.

    Yeah maybe 6-8 months, I am over 180 days I filed in March
    I’m thinking 0% chance it’s less than 6 months. I’m hoping it doesn’t go too much beyond that. Part of the reason I didn’t get one before was I felt it’s too much money for something I can’t have for a year. 6 months is kind of my limit for that but I have to resign myself to it will be done when it’s done.

    I am over 180 days hopefully they get through all the paper backlog and in the future it will be faster. They played games by testing the E-Form system at the beginning of the year and proved it could be done in 90 days but they have over years worth of paper forms that need approval.

    I'm at 150 on my first e-form. I doubt I buy another after this.

    Sunday (09Oct2022) will be exactly 6 months since I filed my two e-Forms. Still waiting. When I filed the forms, the kind folks at Engage Armaments told me that they had received approvals within 4 months but as jrumann59 said in his posting earlier, I think they played games earlier this year to pressure test the system but now reality has set in.
