I live very rural and the nearest FFL that sells or accepts silencers is fairly far away, so I decided to use Silencer Central. I ordered 3 cans on 12/12/2023 using a Trust. My approvals came in on 04/29/2024 and they were delivered to my door on 05/23/2024. I was pleased with the ease of the entire process through SC, and I didn’t encounter any hiccups along the way. I already had a set of digital prints from when I did some SBRs, so that made things go faster with SC. I intend to order some more cans this summer, so I hope the AFT gets things moving faster for cans submitted through trusts. I know a 4-month wait time is a drop in the bucket compared to what it used to be, but seeing things going much faster for individual applications makes waiting months using a trust all the more frustrating.
Moved from IL to IA on a Saturday 3 weeks ago. Applied for my DL on the following Monday. Got my temporary license and went to Scheel's. Inquired about silencers. Asked me if I had my DL. I told him I have the temp one because I just moved to this state. They said no problem. Did all the paperwork, fingerprinting, etc. Took about about an hour. Was approved in 2 business days and picked up my silencer/suppressor Friday. Pew Pew Saturday.
OK, I went through silencer central to get my suppressor. Called them at the beginning of May to order a suppressor. They were very helpful and walked through the paper work. Once I got everything done and they submitted the paperwork to ATF, it was approved the next day. I paid for the suppressor all ready and I still have NOT received my suppressor. It is taking LONGER for me to get my suppressor from silencer central, then it did getting approved by ATF!
As someone currently waiting, here are details!
Submitted eForm Form 4 individual w/ EFT prints on 05/15 in NE OH. The FFL submitted for me electronically, no SS kiosk. At 16 days total, I got no response from NCIS Liason or eForm Admin via email. Contacted my state representative, and got a privacy release form and submitted it in response to their office today. I have a CCW and work for my local county. My peers whom submitted individual after me are still getting approvals in 24HRS-1 week. If I can pass background any other time, I should be able to take my suppressor home given I already paid for the tax stamp and can, period.
im currently at 48 days waiting for a form 4 as an individual e filed
@@jbcustom3745 approved this morning.
Got 2 cans from SC had hiccups but overall they gave me free tax stamp and ASR hub and break. Love these guys for their integrity.
You guys e-formed my Banish 45 on April 18, and my Banish 22 on April 24.
Have not heard anything from the ATF.
Was told my two will take five months plus since I had to do a trust on both of them.
Very frustrating when people are getting ATF approval in two days.
@@LonestarROB I also bought a suppressor cover a month back and it had not shipped, I also bought two Velcro patches.
My order did not go out because the patches were out of stock.
It never said that when I ordered them.
Tod them just ship me my cover and refund me on the patches.
Got my suppressor cover, but never got a refund on the patches.
@@yotatech Glad to hear I'm not the only outlier, in terms of receiving bad experiences from them on multiple occasions. Appreciate more people like you speaking out about your own personal experiences with them. They've lied a bunch of times in the past. An example being, Brandon Maddox "LIED" multiple times on different podcasts/youtube channels, about giving away, or waiving the $200 tax stamp for first time buyers/customers, but as soon as you contact their email or give them a call, you get told otherwise. Isn't that called "False Advertisement" or something similar? Like who's really running the show @ Silencer Central??? 🤔🤔🤔
@@LonestarROB I learned the hard way as well unfortunately. Takes forever to get approvals going through them, instead of Silencer Shop, Capitol Armory, and your own local FFL/SOT.
Man trust me these guys are lying I have several NFA items and they all took 9 months or more, it's a shame but that's how the feds are and I'm retired military and they DNT give a shit trust me😊
Submitted 12-23 approved 5-6 . Be patient lol
This guy bends over for the ATF
That explains why their company is the only one getting exclusive access to/with them, with backdoor meetings and backroom deals, possibly selling away more of "We The People's" rights behind the scenes.
It took Silencer Central over 4 weeks to ship out my Banish 45 after completing all approvals and LE notifications. Just for it to show up without the 1/2x28 piston it’s supposed to come with. Called customer support to check and they said pistons are back ordered and it’s gonna be another 2 months before they send them out. How about letting your customers know you’re sending them unusable products?? Mind you that I’ve talked to customer support at least 3 times while waiting for them to ship the can, and not a single mention about the most important part of the order is gonna be missing!
Save yourself the headache and take your business elsewhere. These people are incompetent at best
Can’t complain and will buy again from SC. Filed forms, fingerprints and pic at the NRA show with them on a Sunday, ATF approved on Monday, local Leo on Thursday. Mandatory 7-day wait and called them on day 8. One of the 3 pistons is on back order and they wanted to wait until in stock (approx 2 months). I asked to have the can shipped out ASAP and send the remaining piston when available. SC send it right next day. Can in hand with 2 pistons 2 weeks after placing order. Since they have my profile, I’m gonna place another order soon. Love it! Way better than my can experience 7 years ago with paper process from different dealer…
submitted 5/2, approved on 5/29 using a gun trust
11 months still waiting
Did you call the ATF?
I just got approved in 2 days had the suppressor in under 30 days from purchase date from these guys!
how long after the 7 day wait did they ship your can?
I got 2 approved in June the first one took 5 days my 2nd took 13 days
I ordered 2 cans last May, and they told me 8-10 month wait for ATF. I had them both sooner than they said I would. Still need to obtain a Banish 45, so that may be in the works if it is going to show up much quicker.
how long after approval did you receive your cans? I just got approved on 5/22 and currently waiting on the 7 day wait period for them to be shipped
Same april no info, when i used silencer shop it only took two days? Def wont do silencer central again
Exactly 4 months for approval. Now waiting for LE waiting period and delivery
LE notification confirmed 5 weeks ago. Still hasn't shipped. No communication with me at all. This was my 2nd and last order with them.
If there was a 99.9% chance of getting an approval, I'd be that fk'n 0.1% that won't get it!!!
Waiting since July 2023
Jan 2024 has my stuff filed with Feds and cans in my home mid May 2024 with a family trust. My only compliant is the heat bag and wrap for my 30 gold is on backorder so I am missing those items. I also have a problem with my 1/2x28 brake not screwing into my 30 gold..It wants to crossthread. SC said they will help me with this but it's several weeks later. The 30 gold with 300BLK but have not been able to shoot 556 yet :(
So can I purchase one under a “individual” and then transfer it to a trust that I already have? Just think you get it a lot quicker filling as individual.
You will have to pay the tax stamp again though.
will there be a speed k that supports .30
"ITS A GREAT QUESTION "
If they’re all great questions, none of them are great questions.
Month deep with them now and you guys have me worried now.
I took the plunge. Was told it could be 6 days to two weeks. Its been 6 weeks with no light at end of tunnel. My concealed carry permit was renewed the week before I bought the can. Federal and State background check so I'm clean. Why the delay on my ok when I'm obviously clean. Frustrating to say the least. They already have my 200. bucks.
Been totally approved waited 5 months now Silencer Central is taking their sweet time awaiting shipment. Been over a week waiting for them to start the “shipping” process. What is their problem?? Very frustrating.
Submitted 6-13-23 approved 12-20-23 shipped to my door 1-25-24
Hopefully get mine soon. Ordered December 2023.
Mine was submitted Nov.15 and nothing good luck and I already have multiple suppressors that hasn’t helped obviously
Final forms sent to ATF on 01-02-24. I received my Banish 30 on 3 months to the day.
@@user-zm7cb3tv7x must be nice
I ordered in sept and got mine in late Feb.
Submitted 4/24, the wait is ridiculous.
ATF needs to learn how to do them as they come in by date. I have one that was submitted Nov. 15th and nothing. Also Brandon if you already have NFA items when you buy another it should throw a flag and you get automatic approval this shit is ridiculous having to wait and see people get approved in days while you been waiting months. You need to stay in their asses. ATF is a joke. Individuals or trust shouldn’t matter I have a trust but nobody is on it so what the hell is the difference. Individual wasn’t even offered to me on my recent purchase and submittal so thats BS. Common name is BS Im the only one in the entire US with my name plus I go through all kinds of background checks every year for my work and still nothing. The ATF process is a damn joke period.
Why the F won’t you let us switch to an individual?!!!
I so regret using SC.
I was so salty, they said they only did trusts. 2 months later they say they now file for individual....just my luck
Totally agree this company is totally a joke I'm in the same boat with SC
Same here I asked for an individual and they told they did not do them - That was April of 2024 and now they say they are doing individual while I sit an wait for their trust to be approved
Day 91.....@@richardhendricks4018
@@richardhendricks4018 yep - same exact thing happened to me too. I begged to do an individual if there was any chance that I wouldn’t get a quick approval, but they said “trusts are just as fast” and “we don’t do individual”.
Now, 112 days later, I wait.
The only reason I bought was for a quick approval.
I ordered a suppressor it's been 2 months now. This was when they were supposedly approving them in 2 weeks. Still waiting... Fuck the ATF.
They really aren't all that. Got my Banish 45 after a 10 month wait. Won't be buying anymore.
Oh no! Do you mind explaining why? Because im waiting on one 😭
I have a banish 45 and 30. They are really good in my opinion. I used the 45 on an fn 509, SA echelon, Canik tp9 sub compact and they are all quiet with supersonic ammo and extremely quiet with subs. The 30can is my baby. I put it on everything from 300blackout down to 223/5.56 and 22lr I have a banish 223 and another banish 30 that got approved so I really enjoy the banish line.
@@abrahamwalker3347 this comment definitely made me feel alot better! Im glad your enjoying it bro! Cant wait to get my banish 45 🤞
I have a B46, 2 x B30s, and a B223. All are superb for sound suppression. I’m now thinking of buying another B30!
Don't listen to him lol. You'll love the banish. It's among the top suppressors in the market. Didn't say top, among the top.
Silencer central appears to make promises they can't keep. Dishonesty for sales.
4 months to the day, Google will sent their email to your spam box!!!
Did you buy it though a trust? I was excited seeing 2 and 3 day turn around but apparently that's for individual form 4 only. I'm at 3 months and I used a trust.
These comments are roooouuugh. Guess I should be looking elsewhere for a can.
Thank you President Biden!!
Trump took away my bump stock… Biden shortens wait times by more than 900%!? I can’t wait for the commercials
I wasn’t approved after 14 months and after that the reallll hard to get in touch with lol I been waiting 3 months for a refund
Yeah. I got mine. But the idea of paying in full for something you might not get is kinda silly. When you get it, use it, you realize you just wasted $1k on a novelty. I won't be purchasing anymore.
How can you legally purchase a firearm yet not be approved for a can?!?
