I bought one last month on a Friday. It wasn’t actually submitted until the following Monday. Approval came back late the next day on Tuesday. I picked it up on Wednesday after work.
That's about what happened to me. Bought mine on Black Friday and picked it up the following Thursday. I was shocked and very happy.

I wouldn’t have believed this approval time if I hadn’t just experienced it. Five days. Bought a SilencerCo. Scythe Ti .30 cal suppressor Monday morning, 01/27/2025. Received e-form approval, Tax stamp Today, Friday. Back during the former occupants’ reign, another can took 13 months. Elections have consequences, and other times, positive outcomes. Now is the time Ladies and Gents, save your hearing, be a good neighbor, muffle that bark.

I've been wondering if some of the really fast times are because of already being in the e-forms system as opposed to a first time buyer......thoughts?
Nope. Both of mine were through silencershop.com and 1st one took 2 months, 2nd one 2.5 months. I don't see why they can't just run background from last nfa item purchased instead of trying to dig all the way back to when we were in diapers every time.
I will say my 4473's usually take anywhere from 15-30 minutes to proceed so not sure if they're related or not. Someone told me it might be due to when I had a secret clearance in the army, but can't say for sure.:anyone:
It could be just all the fren sites I frequent on the interweb.:selfangel

I may be wrong, but think they have to dispose of any searches within 24 hours or something. (ya right!!)
So, each additional search has to go from scratch.
