Current Suppressor Wait Times for NFA Approvals

[Alan]

I'd love to hear what kind of wait times you guys are seeing for your suppressor approvals. Are you using eForms or paper submissions? Any tips for those of us navigating the NFA process for the first time?

Going to follow this, wondering also.

Another follower now that the tax is gone.

Why would anybody buy a can - now?

If I buy a silencer today, and it cost me $1,000 (because they have gotten ungodly expensive for what they are), when I go to paper it I will have to pay a $200 tax.

But on New Year's Day, 2026, that tax goes away.

I think that the people that make silencers would be in a depression for the next 6 months. Cuz if I buy the $1,000 can today it's going to cost me $1,200, but if I wait till January it's only going to cost me a thousand. I can wait.

I can't wait, $200 savings! More for ammo.

I recently purchased my first suppressor on a Tuesday. All E-forms. Picked it up Friday of same week. Even the store was impressed. The entire process was easy and done in person. I understand this provides the fastest times. Hope this helps.
