Has anyone had any luck figuring out why they are or were delayed?

I've been waiting a month just to get my f4 certified. Eforms won't let my ffl complete it. Silencer Shop has been zero help. Won't be purchasing from them again. It's beyond frustrating.I've been certifying forms with Silencer Shop without any issues. Your FFL needs to step up their game and work around the Full Auto system.

I really like the times Dreadi just posted! Maybe they are improving the process.
I thought they might be sitting on mine because of my likes on social media😂😂

I have bought 4 suppressors in the last two years. 3 took 9 months and one took a few days over a year.Im pretty sure if they look at my Facebook posts I’ll be denied!

Think of it as having a child Dan-O. Some excitement up front, a little bit of work, then you wait 9 months.

Finally got my notification today. So took me almost 13 months. It would be nice to no what the delay was, but happy it was finally approved.
I've got a nickel from 1964 that says part of it was your active security clearance.

Is it just active security clearances that appear to delay approval, or do past security clearances matter as well?

It's a roll of the dice. However, there is a consistency amongst customers I have that when there's delay, they have or have had a security clearance. But here's an interesting one for you.
Two customers both active duty. One has a higher level of clearance than the other. Both bought suppressors from me. The one with the lower level bought first but, his came in last. The one with the higher level got approved in a few days. The lower level took a month.

You would think having a Secret Security Clearance would help.... But they probably wonder what you know that they don't know :dunno:
Carl, It's just you. ;)
You know my background.
I got mine (with trusts!) in about 2.5 months.

I would think with all your bigfoot posts yours would have been delayed indefinitely. :)

I'll eat crow sometime if I can ever find the answer to why they do that. It's not a new step in their process. If you buy from a store that's in our state, that step is not part of the process.

This one I picked up at a NRA auction. So yes, next time I will buy locally. This whole process, with silencer central, was not a very good one. Customer service is definitely not the best.

I'm glad you and others are getting into suppressors. It's unfortunate that their customer service reputation isn't stellar.I'll eat crow sometime if I can ever find the answer to why they do that.

Wasn't real impressed with my purchase through a local Silencer Shop kiosk dealer either. Next can I'll buy through Dreadi, he took the time to help me when the shop I bought through was giving me the run around, even though he had nothing to gain from it. Solid dude :tup:Same local shop I used and same nightmare but worse.
Just submitted another using Dreadi and man what a different experience! Can't speak highly enough of our local huntwa suppressor dude! I'll be purchasing all my suppressors through him going forward even being on the wrong side of the state from me :tup:

Hey Karl hope the deer hunting is going well. You may have to get a lawn chair to set out in the lake to hunt with how hot it’s supposed to be the next couple days. How many trips over the pass did it require to get your suppressor? 1 to fill out paperwork, etc. and one to pick up? or could you do everything digitally with Dreadi and then just go over to get it when you are cleared?Wasn't real impressed with my purchase through a local Silencer Shop kiosk dealer either.

Most everything with me is remote except for pickup. There are a few options for fingerprints including doing them yourself from home, coming to me, or any Silencer Shop dealer with a kiosk.Hey Karl hope the deer hunting is going well.
