B&T Suppressor Wait Times (2026)

Wondering how long it takes to get a B&T suppressor approved? The wait time depends on the ATF's national queue, not on which brand of suppressor you buy. Once you file your Form 4, your application goes into the same queue regardless of whether you bought a B&T can, a SilencerCo, or a YHM. The current wait times are at the top of this page.

Current NFA wait times for B&T suppressors

The wait time above is what you can expect when you file a Form 4 for a B&T suppressor. It applies to all of their products equally — ATF doesn't have separate queues per brand.

How to file for a B&T suppressor

1. Pick the specific B&T model you want. B&T makes Rotex, Monolith, Station and the right one for you depends on caliber, host firearm, and use case.
2. Buy through a dealer. Silencer Shop and Silencer Central both stock B&T suppressors and offer eForms filing (faster).
3. Submit your Form 4 through the dealer's eForms kiosk or paper-file through the ATF.
4. Wait. Average wait is shown above; the B&T will ship to your local FFL/SOT after approval.

B&T vs other brands

Wait time isn't the differentiator between B&T and other brands — all silencers go through the same ATF queue. The differences are in sound suppression, weight, length, mounting system, materials, and warranty. See our suppressor guide for help choosing.

FAQ: B&T suppressors

How long does it take to get a B&T suppressor approved?

See the current wait time at the top of this page. It's the same as for any other brand because ATF processes all Form 4s in a single national queue.

Do I need a trust for a B&T suppressor?

You can file as either a trust or an individual. Trust filings take a few days longer to process because the trust adds an extra review step. See trust vs individual.
