gooseisland Seasoned Member Registered: 10/27/09 Posts: 413 Loc: minnesota	I can't find a status on mine either. Submitted in March through silencer central. I'm just in the boat of, it will show up when it shows up.

basdjs Die Hard Member Registered: 04/18/10 Posts: 622 Loc: W. Pa.	Called SC two days ago to check on status of my application submitted in March. Still “pending” . So much for “60 to 90 days”.

Starting to become concerned .. I purchased my silencer from them the third week of January and it took them until the first week of May to call me and go over my paperwork and submit it. They actually called the 3rd week of March to do my paperwork but had my City and State wrong so they said they had to correct it and would call back. Well 5 weeks later they finally called in May. Total BS!

basdjs Die Hard Member Registered: 04/18/10 Posts: 622 Loc: W. Pa.	Called ATF today to check on status. The lady told me they’ve been finishing the electronic submitted forms in about 100 days. When I told her this was day 119 for me and I’m only still listed as “pending”, all she could say was “well that’s just an estimate”. It’s no big deal! I never believed the turn-around would be 60-90 days as originally promoted when they went to the electronic system. I’m thinking anything under 6 mos. may be more realistic.

B23 Die Hard Member III Registered: 12/07/11 Posts: 2683 Loc: Pacific NW	Originally Posted By: Machias I'm at 12 months today. Silencer Central. You're probably getting close then. I wanted to try some different cans and instead of sticking to what I know I let myself get sucked in to the Silencer Central program thinking it would be faster. Uhhh, yeah, not so much. I was right at 14 months which was more than double the amount of time any of my others took. The guys at SC were great to deal with and their cans are pretty decent but there was nothing faster about using them. The new E-Form process sounds like it's really speeding things up but unfortunately that wasn't available when I bought my cans from SC.

Yep, I was hoping they were going to be right around 7 months...like they said. But nope!! Really hoping it comes in soon. I got a pup I'm going to start decoying with and I don't want to shoot around him without the suppressor. _________________________ When things look grim, be the Grim Reaper!
