I do not know the general scheme of things involving NFA. Generally, for me, last November 2022, I bought a suppressor from SS and filled out the forms and everything was done electronically to the ATF.
The suppressor is sent to your FFL at that time. They have it. I do not know if they keep it if you die in the meantime.
Anyway, the clock starts.
I was approved in July. It was the end of October when I happened to find this GD email buried in my inbox.
Apparently, SS has no idea what the ATF decides because SS did not let me know I paperwork was approved.
The same was true with my FFL. My suppressor sat in jail for an extra three months after repeated inquiries to both SS and the FFL in my area with a kiosk setup.
QUESTION: Is this how suppressor acquisitions typically go or did SS or my FFL drop the ball?
