Re: NFA Wait Times
Very nice! That is a lot less cobby than it looked like when I first started investigating the DIY kit....which is the primary reason I elected to go with the AAC for my first one. But I might try a DIY when it comes to suppressing my Remington 700......which still needs the barrel threaded.....

Re: NFA Wait Times
Purchased a Dead Air Mask 22. Dealer mailed the Form 4 on 9/14. I paid the dealer in full and they sent the money in so there's no check to track....bummer.
Purchased an AAC Element 2. Form 4 mailed last week and the $200 check cleared yesterday. This dealer did it differently than the other, I only purchased the suppressor from them and gave them a check to send in with my Form 4.
Will post back on the approval dates.

Re: NFA Wait Times
called my dealer yesterday about status of my Form 4s.
He said he just received a batch of tax stamps for Form 4s that were submitted in August. My two were submitted Sept. 30, he expects mine to be about 6 weeks out max. I bought a .22 suppressor (red jacket) and a .45 suppressor (PTP Ranger).
I think I'll need a new gun to celebrate. A .45 with suppressor height sights...

Re: NFA Wait Times
My last suppressor took 60 days with NFA trust. I was shocked how quick it came back.
On the homemade flashlight suppressors I got the "kits" from Preppers Discount and made some very nice suppressors (with stamps). They are lightyears ahead of cobbled maglight jobs I have done.

Re: NFA Wait Times
Received email from ffl that I can pick up my suppressor. 5 months for my form 4 with trust.
I called ATF last week and they approved it on January 16, but FFL didn't get the stamp until now (maybe Friday ?)
Hope to pick it up tonight.

Re: NFA Wait Times
Just received an email from my FFL in Cedar Park that my suppressor (Dead Air Mask) is in. I filed with a trust and the packet was mailed 9/14/15. So that's about 147 calendar days. I can have them mail the suppressor to me but I'm going to go pick it up in the next few weeks......YIPPEE, my first suppressor.
I wish I could drive down to get it this week but just can't....bummer.
My second purchase (AAC Element) was mailed on 10/12/15 so I would expect another month for that one. It was a local purchase so once it's in I can get it right away.

Re: NFA Wait Times
Being Cedar Park did you use Capital Armory? If so would like to hear your thoughts on how they handled everything. I directed my brother to them for several cans here recently.QB wrote:Just received an email from my FFL in Cedar Park that my suppressor (Dead Air Mask) is in.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
