SilencerCo Suppressor Wait Times (2026)
Wondering how long it takes to get a SilencerCo suppressor approved? The wait time depends on the ATF's national queue, not on which brand of suppressor you buy. Once you file your Form 4, your application goes into the same queue regardless of whether you bought a SilencerCo can, a SilencerCo, or a YHM. The current wait times are at the top of this page.
