What is the wait time going to be for suppressor approval starting 1/1/2026?

Which part?

Silencer central didn't lobby to keep the tax/process

My suppressor finally shipped from Unknown Suppressors and is on its way to my SOT. Hopefully it won’t be in jail too long…

Submitted mine on Jan 3rd. Completed by Jan 7 with email confirmation. Enticer LTI from local gunsmith.

Looks like the drop off in apps has finally came. Right before the looming gov shutdown.

Crossing my fingers mine go through (submitted mid month) before Saturday.

I'm here: Notification was acknowledged by the chief law enforcement officer on 1-23-2026 and the mandatory 7-day waiting period started.

*pending ATF approval

I wasn't really paying attention at the time, but did processing halt or wait times increase during the last shutdown? I imagine applications were down due to the upcoming zeroing of the tax, so that could be a factor too...

Yes. Halted completely..

I don't speak legalease, but it seems like DOJ funding was passed and signed on 1/23/26, so since ATF is under DOJ, hopefully that would mean no delays from a partial shutdown.
