I’ve seen concerns from people worried that a glut of SBRs awaiting approval will slow down applications for suppressors. Maybe the ATF should hire another 87,000 agents.
AFT has been slow walking NFA applications for years. Given current technology even waiting a week for approval is too long. The quickest approval I have gotten is 5 months, using e-file for a Form 1 SBR, which was supposed to speed up the process. I waited nearly 11 months for my first can on a Form 4.
