I received this e-mail from Dakota Silencer on Tuesday and it looks like a couple more months for me.
We know that you havebeen anxiously awaiting the approval of your purchase from Dakota Silencer. ATF wait times increased to a level that we could not have predicted, butthe good news is that your approval(s) should be arriving at our office in thenear future.
Our records indicate thatyour paperwork was submitted to the ATF on 12/20/2016. We are currentlygetting approvals back for paperwork submitted to the ATF between August 1,2016 and September 13, 2016. The good news is....we are finallystarting to see processing times decrease. Our best guess, at this point,is about 10 -11 months from your submission date listed above.
You can always call theATF for a status update by calling 304-616-4500, and choosing Option #1. Youwill need to have your serial number available prior to calling. If youhave misplaced your serial number, it can be found in your Trust or we canprovide it by calling our office at (605) 610-8898 or responding to this email. We also ask that you keep in mind that it can take anywhere from 1 to 4weeks for an approval to reach our office once it has been approved by the ATF. Also, the date that we submit paperwork to the ATF (listed above), andthe date that they "receive" the paperwork are two different dates.
We will contact you byemail just as soon as your approval(s) is/are returned to us. At thattime, we will outline your options for either pickup or delivery directly toyour doorstep.
We appreciate yourbusiness and your patience and know that once you get your silencer(s), youwill be hooked.
Sincerely,
Dakota Silencer
