How long is it taking to get the "permission slip" to buy a silencer?

Gun shop in Lapeer said it had been at least 8 months all of his current customers have been waiting.

Oh....you can buy it right now....

They just don't let you take it home from the dealer until you get your tax stamp.

Wait times had been running 6 to 7 months and growing. The BATF added some contract workers and there is starting to be some impact on the wait.

Right now I would plan on 6 months from Pending.

I know the process, I want to know how long people have ACTUALLY waited for the permission slip to take it home.

The ATF told me when I called them a few weeks back about 6 months from pending date.

Then it sounds like times are going back down. Maybe I need to get another form 4 in the mail.

How can it show on "forms sent" a date of July 2, 2012 in at least 3 cases?

Ok, I got 2 that actually responed to the question by telling me how long they are currently waiting but nobody has told me how long it took them to get theirs.

It's like people don't read the whole thing before they start typing.

Just to update. My dealer called yesterday, 30 June, he received my approved form 4.

Just over 5 months. Still seems like the ATF should be able to do better then that.

Thanks detacbob.
