Terrible indoor pics or it didn't happen :

Long and dangly configuration

Short and stealthy configuration

I wasn't expecting the difference in feel between the short and long on a pistol, but it's very noticeable.

My 77/44 is threaded and on its way back from @MachIVshooter, can't wait to get some 300gr subs loaded up and hit the range!

form 4 sent : Sept 22, 2018
Check cashed: Oct 18, 2018

Almost an exact year from paperwork being sent in.

Single shot trust!
They do a good job of discouraging purchases of NFA items.
 
I filled out the paperwork on July 30 and am go-to-go February 12. Six months isn’t bad! I wasn’t expecting a call until mid-summer.
 
Form 4. Individual.

Looks like you got a bit lucky, most of the F4 approvals popping up now are trust/Individuals from 04/2019 - 05/2019, and trusts from 11/2019 - 12/2019. It looks like the ATF pulled from the top of the stack again like they did in October to cook their metrics, this time pretty much all trusts.

I'm still waiting on an F4 from May 2019, called last week, still pending, not assigned.

No idea. Here is the bottom portion. Filed mid-July (I thought end of July), approved mid-October and in my hands mid-February.

Ok, that makes more sense, your stamp was part of the first out of order batch of approvals that went out around October. Why didn't you get it until four months after approval?

No idea. I was so happy to get it in 7 months, I didn’t ask.
 
Form 4 trust, signed 4/11/2019 and mailed out the same day (or the next day, can’t remember which). Approved 2/9/2020 and received at my dealer 2/13/2020.
 
02/18/20 - Wait time for Form 4 Trust still about 10 months.

Apex Micro (Innovative Arms)

Form 4 Trust with two parties
Purchased - 03/20/19
Check Cashed - 04/09/19
Approval on Tax Stamp - 02/05/20
Tax Stamp received at dealer - 02/18/20

315 days from Check Cashed to Tax Stamp arriving at my local dealer.

Paperwork completed via Silencershop. I bought my suppressor from a local Silcencershop Powered Dealer.

This is my 4th suppressor and the only one I called the ATF for a status update. I called on 01/29/20 and was told it was pending since 04/10/19 and they were averaging 10 months. And to check back in 4 weeks.
