Former ATF Agent Exposes How To Get Suppressors & SBR's Approved Faster
About this video
Colion discusses his conversation with a former ATF official about internal reforms in the NFA branch. According to Colion’s guest, new supervisors transformed a dysfunctional department where employees allegedly refused to work, reducing suppressor approval times from 18 months down to days. Colion notes this improvement represents a dramatic shift in an agency typically associated with delays and inefficiency.
Key takeaways
- Colion reports that ATF’s NFA branch was allegedly plagued by unmotivated employees and supervisors who feared their own staff, leading to extreme processing delays
- According to Colion’s source, a series of professional supervisors reformed the department, reducing suppressor approval times from over a year to as little as four days
- Colion learns that individual NFA applications now process faster than trust-based applications because trusts require additional legal review by ATF attorneys
