Some of you guys are real lucky. I have been waiting over 8 months for and E file Suppressor. Submitted May of 2022. I still do not have it approved.
Get your suppressor purchases in now. Once the SBR rules change on AR type pistols with arm braces the flood of E-Forms will tie up the approval system for years.

Just got the OK from BATF last week. Took 9 months. Once you have been approved for the 1st one why should it take this long for any others ?

Because government, thats why. I am more disturbed by the fact that I must pay a tax and wait for approval to buy a gun muffler, essentially a safety device to protect myself and others from the dangerous sound.
