Suppressor/ Form 4 process

How Suppressor Purchases Work

Suppressors are regulated under federal law and require approval through ATF Form 4 before they can be transferred to an individual.

Purchasing a suppressor on our website initiates the transfer process only.

Suppressors cannot be shipped directly to a customer and must be transferred through a licensed dealer.

Step-by-Step Process

Step 1 — Purchase Online

You purchase your suppressor on our website and select your preferred licensed dealer during checkout.

Payment is collected and your order is marked NFA Pending.

Step 2 — Ship to Your Dealer

We ship the suppressor dealer-to-dealer to the licensed FFL/SOT you selected.

The suppressor is logged into the dealer’s inventory and is not yet owned by the customer.

Step 3 — Form 4 Filed by Dealer

You work directly with your chosen dealer to complete and submit the ATF Form 4.

Fingerprints, photo, and required paperwork are collected and submitted by the dealer.

Step 4 — ATF Review

The ATF reviews the Form 4 submission.

Approval times vary and are determined solely by the ATF.

During this period, the suppressor remains with the dealer.

Step 5 — Approval & Pickup

Once approved, your dealer will contact you to complete final paperwork.

The suppressor is then legally transferred to you and picked up from your dealer.
