to read more specific details about silencer ownership types (Individual, trust or corporation).
STEP TWO:
Choose your local FFL Class III / NFA dealer.
We cannot ship a silencer / suppressor directly to you. It has to be shipped to a local FFL dealer with an SOT (NFA / CLASS III).
STEP THREE:
We submit the BATFE paperwork to transfer the suppressor / silencer to your chosen FFL Class III dealer.
STEP FOUR:
Once we receive approval from the BATFE we ship the suppressor(s) to your FFL Class III dealer (takes 3 to 30 days on average for this approval). We do use the BATFE e-file system.
STEP FIVE:
Your dealer will contact you once they receive your suppressor and they help you complete and submit the BATFE paperwork, including paying the required $200 Tax Stamp.
Once your dealer receives the BATFE approval (takes approximately 2-4 months if you file fully electronically) you go in and pick up your silencer at your local FFL dealer. Then you get to enjoy some quiet shooting ;)
