That puts a damper on my Feb. I sent a Form 4 off in October towards the end of the month, was hoping to get it back this month. Looks like it may be March now. I have two more Form 4's that went out in Dec, I had planned on them taking 5 months, hopefully I got in before the 'big' rush with those.

I just ordered 2 suppressors online from www.capitolarmory.com on 2/8/16 using my trust and they mailed out my Form 4 the very next day. They say to expect a 4-5 month wait. So far I am impressed with their service. I wanted to get my order in before the July changes to trust purchases. I will update the http://www.nfatracker.com with my order info.

Snow storm my ass, how could that affect somebody sticking an envelope in the mail? Mad
Just curious, applying for copy, what does that entail?
Start process over or electronic copy or what?

When I called to check on status, the guy on the phone talked like I just pissed in his cherrios, absolutely sure he needs another job.

I had to fax a letter with suppressor info requesting a copy.

Started a form 3 on a Omega 9k and AEM5 today from Capitol Armory.

They cashed my check. Is that a good sign or do they do that regardless?

That's just the first step, which they do with everyone. Now the wait begins

Looking at other's timelines, I'm hoping my form 1 SBR submitted on December 10 is about 6 weeks out.

Here is the Specwar on my 16" Bushy with a new Aimpoint T-2 and 20" LaRue with a leupold 4.5X14 dot host. Not a lightweight can by any means, but on the 16" it feels like it belongs.

Now, I know these are no things of beauty compared to some of what you guys own, but I use these for hunting predators here in Idaho, and they get the job done. Not apologizing, just clarifying.

I'll get the muzzle brake that came with the can mounted on my LaRue 7.62 OBR tonight, nice setup by SiCo to move the can around with ease.

I started the process on 9/2015, so right about 5 months. My stamp, by the way, looks like someone walked on it? weird...

Man, I didn't realize Form 1's were only taking a little over 3 months. My MPX, MCX, and 870 SBS were submitted on 11/29. I better get them engraved soon.

I am now 5 months and one week into my 2nd Form 4 (Ospray45) thru my local gun store. Checked cleared 10 days after filing so I know they received the documents....

First Forum 4 was received by LGS one day over 5 months.

I guess as the volume continues to increase (until after July 2, 2016) the wait times will grow......

My first Omega was filed two weeks behind the Ospray45 so the wait continues.....

It's sad that this is considered good.





This is where my signature goes.
