NFA Wait Times

[seeth07]

Have you had your call in with them yet?

Not until fingerprints are approved and that just happened finally 10 minutes ago!

So I'm totally new to this, but have thought about getting one for a few years but just haven't due to perceived difficulties.

If I were to get a suppressor, is it true that I have to present any time it or the rifle it's on is being used? My son uses alot of my rifles as well, and this would be a big negative if a suppressor prevents him from being able to use it.

Thanks

Setup a trust for it with his name on it and you're good to go

Holy crap, they must be really processing a lot of them right now. My 10 minute appt is over a week out! Its going to take almost a month to actually get the applications submitted and then less than a week to actually get them approved.

Any updates on trust timelines?

Just pulled the trigger on a suppressor for my 338. I'll keep everyone updated on the timeline.

Just got approval for a B&T SRBS 556 can. From the time I certified the e-form 4 to approval was 4 days. This was an individual purchase, not a trust.

It was Merry Stampmas to me on Friday, got my Scythe-Ti, no go on batch approving the Spectre too, 114 days on a trust, the other is at 77 days. Hoping to get to the range this week, I had a new scope waiting for my primary hunting rifle, but waited to make both changes together to only re-zero once.



10 years ago, this was a pretty darn light hunting can.



This is where tech is now, with additive manufacturing who knows where the ceiling is.



So I shaved almost 5 ounces and 2 inches off the gun, added 2.6oz back with the new scope, so worked out really good.

Squirrels beware, I dipped my toe in the NFA world for the first time today. Gun shop had a silencerco sparrow on the shelf so I filled out the paperwork. Gun shop said they're seeing stuff take around a month. We'll see. I went the individual route.

 

[Gojo03]

Should come back quick for individual

 

[rjthehunter]

I sent my fingerprints in Tuesday last week. Should be able to e-file as an individual this week and hopefully have my new toy next week!

 

[np307]

Should come back quick for individual

That's what I'm hoping.

 

[rjthehunter]

Form 4 went in today. Just waiting ATF approval now. Hoping for approval in a couple of days. Then my suppressor will ship out!

Griffin Armament Sportsmen 338 UL

I’d like to hear how it performs for you. I have 1 original Sportsman, and 3 of the Sportsman Ultra Lights all in 30 cal, and they’ve been great. My Silencerco Hybrid 46 wears a 9mm front cap for my 338-06, and I have a Q Porq Chop for my 8.6blk. But I want to build a more serious 338 hunting rifle so….
