I see we are back to the old timelines. I was hopeful in 2020 when I got a stamp back in 134 days, then earler this year 230ish day timeline, back to almost a year sucks.

I've got 2 F4's pending from the summer and I just filled one out for the B&T TP9 can. eh..... here's to 2023.

I am not holding out hope that they will get any faster. I am still waiting on my tax refund that I filed over eight months ago.

Just got this in an email from Capital Armory

Approval times are all over the place right now, but here's an idea of what you may expect.
Form 4s submitted via paper are being processed aggressively. We're receiving hundreds of paper approvals each week as the ATF's current focus is clearing out the paper backlog.
Electronic Form 4s are not sharing the same fate. Approvals are trickling in and are currently March 2022 submissions, so 8-9 months is what you may expect with wait times climbing. Electronic forms have been put on the back burner in order to reduce pending paper submissions.

It actually seems fair that they'd focus on clearing out the backlog of paper thet was submitted before electronic forms went online, but given mine and 11B's status they should be pretty much through those by now such that the volume should start shifting over to electronic.
