It is the Federal government unfortunately - we can’t do much.

Hopefully the TX AG can help us out on our silencer wait times.
ETA: This will be my fastest NFA wait time if it goes at 9 months though. I just sit and think I’d like my Dad to shoot it and how his health is - I don’t know that that will happen (he lives a state away and his health is not great). It easily triggers me into how frustrating the NFA process is.
