I'm waiting to see the July filed form times......and very interested in those filed after July to see if the wait starts to shrink.

As am I. My form was submitted in July. So, about 10 months wait so far now. This last application has really turned me off on buying any more suppressors. It is quite ridiculous for it to take this long. I don't care how deluged the ATF may be with applications, it just goes to show how bad the system is. But, I am sure they want it that way.

Must be in the same box in the back corner with mine because I mailed mine the 23rd. Although when I called to check on mine, she insisted they didn't get mine until 8/1, even though I got a signature delivery confirmation they received it on the 25'th.

I told her it must've taken them that long to put it in the computer because I'm certain they signed for it a week prior to that.

Any-whoo

On the bright side, nice NFA branch phone lady told me a couple of weeks ago that I should expect to see my form back in about 8 months from the time they get it and I need not call and ask about it sooner.

Seriously. I'm not joking.

Not only can they take forever to sign a piece of paper, they obviously can't count either
