My local dealer matches prices and is 1 mile from my house but here’s a place to look. Although I haven’t used them. I know some people had issues years ago with paperwork getting jacked up. Don’t remember who it was tho, maybe these guy??

It sits at your FFL until the stamp clears.

You pay for suppressor. You pay $200 tax stamp. The dealer keeps the can until your approved. Then you pick up

Just need to decide to go individual or trust which you can research the difference before you buy

Buying a can as a private citizen doesn’t require a “Class III” license. Assuming that you are legally able to take possession of a can, it is done on a form 4 from/with your dealer, $200 buckaroos to the ATF and fingerprints/passport photos to them and FBI....

No you don’t get to use it even for a paperweight. Your dealer holds it till paperwork clears.

How long does it usually take for the paperwork to clear?

3-16 Months. Generally 5-9

Silencershop makes the process easy

Just got one approved today that the check was cashed on 3/13/20. So about 7 months

Cans, so I've been told, are running 6 to 8 months right now. I have 3 in jail as I type this so, I can let you know in 4 to 6 months.

 

[hafejd30]

My first was 6 months
2nd was 11 months

Forever!!!!

Or as Clausewitz would say "Es hangt" aka "it depends".

It depends on location, reviewer but the average is a while and requires a LOT of patience.

Once you have put your finger prints on file with silencer shop, it's like buying socks off Amazon. They just send you an email with something you need to sign digitally with your mouse or finger. After that, it's just waiting.

Edit - If it's been more than a year, you just need to take another picture of your self with your phone and upload your ugly mug. Just bought a third can on a whim a month ago. Had to do that.

 

[bscullane]

Is the silencershop.com as good as it sounds? After looking at the site was thinking about going with the trust route? Any of you all done the same? If so can you share your experience

 

[deersniper]

Trust is more fubar now thanks to unelected bureaucrats

Silencshop works great.

@HansohnBrothers is supposed to be great also and has a good presence here

If you anticipate that you will ever want someone else to be able to posses, or have access to, the suppressor when you're not present, a trust is the way to go. That includes a spouse or any other adults in your household.
