    I haven't seen any new approvals posted in the ATF/NFA dates thread in the last few weeks since all the craziness with the pistol brace registration and the issues with the ATF glitches mentioned on that thread. Are approvals still coming through? Is it worth trying to call if we have something that should have been coming up soon?

    I figured it wasn't really a place for general wait time discussion or lamenting how someone could make a baby faster than approving the form 4. When I got into scraping my pennies together to buy a second can the wait time was about 4-5 months. By the time I got around to buying it was 5-6 months, now its 8-9 months. I'm going into month 6 now. I think several of us are simply waiting unable to post updated times for general form 4's so not many of us are posting.

    Approvals are still allegedly going through at their glacial pace and appear to be slowing down. I tried using the reddit spreadsheet and forum to see if others were noticing the slowdown but reddit being reddit the spreadsheet is cumbersome to use and I still can't figure out how to use their site as easily as many others. I check the silencershop wait times site every 2 weeks to see if its trending up or down and so far its only trending up for the median wait times. Seems to be on 8 months still for the last 2 months, but who knows what'll happen in the next 2-3 months for me.

    Yep, that is why I didn't ask in that thread. I'm right in the window that I should be seeing something back, and then several things seem to be happening with the ATF and eforms all at once. I hadn't seen a post in that thread in a few weeks, which seemed unusually slow. Someone posted their date about an hour after I posted this thread.

    Seems to be on 8 months still for the last 2 months, but who knows what'll happen in the next 2-3 months for me.

    I received a Form 4 in Nov, about 9 months on that. I'm hoping the eform Form 4 I am waiting on will track closer to 8 months.

    Do any of you guys follow the NFA sub-reddit? I know it's probably not popular here, but they do have some really solid data there with people posting daily with their approvals for e-file form 4's and such.

    I received an approval today, which is about the same length of time as my previous approvals from last year. So the brace registration and other ATF website issues didn't seem to affect the time to approval.

    So what was the time frame?

    Trust?

    Form 4, trust. Filed 5/20/22, received 2/4/23. 261 days.

    Still hoping they batch processed other ones I filed since then. Guess I will find out in a few days.
    They haven't been doing batch approvals, and at 260 days you're way ahead of the line of people coming in due to the brace decision

    Congrats, 5/10 here :mad:

    Probably worth the pixels its written on but allegedly the for 1 brace forbearance (that word is deliberate, its no longer a free SBR) will be handled by additional agents not the normal form 4 approval team. They also say theres a 90 day goal for form4 approvals... 9 months is actuality.
