Current Suppressor Approval Wait Times

[Alan]

I'm looking for some real-world feedback on how long suppressor approvals are taking these days. Did you use eForms or a paper application? What was your experience with trusts or dealer transfers?

Trusts take longer. Latest I have heard an individual approval eForm is coming back in less than a week while trust returns are taking months.

I purchased one right after deer season 2024 and it was approved for pickup in 48 hours.
The one I purchased in 2021 took 7 months.

I went through eForms for my last suppressor and it took just under eight months from submission to approval. I filed with a trust, and the dealer transfer was smooth once the stamp finally cleared
