I summited my eform 4 Jan 13th.
Actually 2 of them 1 for a banish 22k,&the other for banish 30.
Got approved for 22k Wednesday and customer service rep said he wouldn't be surprised the 30 gets approved next week.
I was amazed in how quick it was.

Individual is taking 3-5 days on average. Trust is still taking a couple months.

Is it truth that it makes a difference who you purchase through?

No it does not. The ATF don’t care.

so individuals are being approved in < 1 week, while trusts are being approved in anywhere from 6-12 months...............why such a huge discrepancy?

I feel like the bigger the gun, the more it helps. Idk if it’s really like that, but it seems to me the more the powder capacity, the more effective it is. Shooting a 300 RUM is about like light 7mag recoil with a suppressor. Shooting 300 PRC is pleasant suppressed. Shooting 223 suppressed helps, but it’s not nearly as effective as larger rounds IMO. Maybe bc I’m using a 30 cal can on 223.

Is there a way to transfer a suppressor bought by an individual to a trust after purchase?

Got mine (individual) in just a few days. SilencerCo Harvest Evo. Like the can but maybe should have done a little more research. Decided I wanted the ASR quick disconnect. Everywhere around had the barrel mounts (flash hider or muzzle break) but the ASR Bravo mount I needed was unobtainable ANYWHERE on line that I could find. Went old school and started calling SilencerCo dealers off their dealer locator on the website. Found some at Mikes Outdoors in Pensacola FL. Now I’ve gotta get barrels threaded on two or three bolt action rifles (took one to Campbell’s Hdwe in Robertsdale) and get adjustable gas blocks on my two AR’s (.223 Wylde and .308). My son has a SilbecerCo Sparrow (?) waiting on his background check. He did the Single Shot trust deal that SC has going. He’s a couple weeks in already.

Think I want a .45 can next. Got a couple 1911’s and an Sig P230 and I need to start barrel shopping. Any suggestions as to where to look for those? The 1911 barrels will need to be gunsmith fitted I’m told, but the Sig may or may not. SilencerCo has a pistol silencer shaped like a door with a rounded top. Doesn’t protrude much above the profile of the slide so won’t interfere with the factory sights. Like that idea a lot.

I was told you could do that at the store where i bought mine a yesterday. He said they had been getting some done in less than a week. Said it was possible i could get mine by friday. He said you can do the paperwork on the trust any time. He also said you could list other items in the trust. SBR or anything else needing tge tax stamp.

Sure can. Gonna cost ya another another tax stamp per item unfortunately

I doubt itll cost me anything, ill be dead. Im not fooling with it.

Question for all you silencer guys....how does one go about [legally] inheriting a silencer? Let's assume, for the sake of discussion, that the original owner did it individually and not a trust. What is the proper way to legally possess one that was left to you?
