Take your prints and use an online service to convert them to .EFT files.  Slap and Roll is one.  You scan them at 600 dpi or take a photo.  Your S2 shop should be able to take them.

SBRs still require a Form 4 to buy from an FFL (GCA '68).  But a Silencer Shop / Jensen plaintiff organization member can make one with out a Form 1 (Jensen plaintiff organization members don't have to engrave).

I got the same thing when I looked at the order page.  

Then after a week or so, it went away and said No Action Required.  I think their system just hasn’t been updated to not ask for photos or fingerprints etc…

Back on Sept 1st, it looked like this…..  (I never uploaded a pic or fingerprints)

I guess it might be at my dealer sometime next week…..maybe others that have received them can chime in on their timeline (which I bet is getting longer as more and more people order suppressors)

Here is one guy who ordered back on Aug 17th and his dealer got them on the 8th

Thank you guys for the information. I got in touch with the good guys at Silencer Shop asking about a refund. At this point I am too close to my trip back to New Mexico - if they couldn't ship in the next few days it's probable that the cans wouldn't be at my gun shop while I am there. I will find out what they can do.

SS has always had all my info.  I ordered an in stock can on Aug 20 to send to my local dealer who is doing 4473 transfered.  Still hasn’t shipped from SS.  Shown as waiting for Form 3 approval to ship for the last two weeks (which I doubt is true).  Of course, you can’t call them and ask what’s actually going on since you can never get a hold of an actual human.

I sent an e-mail to Silencer Shop and got a reply from "Hiram" in a couple seconds. But then an actual human replied soon after. We exchanged messages and he was super helpful - but there just isn't enough time left for the process to finish and then the shipping agent to deliver in time with any degree of confidence.

At this point I wouldn't be very picky if I find an FFL in my state which has anything in one of the calibers I want - and if they are transferring on a 4473.

Hearing a rumor of a WA shop doing 4473 transfers on cans despite state law written to require federal registration for actually using them.  (Read that carefully, along with what follows).

No idea if it is true, should know more soon.  Technically I can see a good argument that it would be totally legal to sell them this way, as state law says this is what is illegal:

Uses any contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of any firearm unless the suppressor is legally registered and possessed in accordance with federal law

That is all- nothing mentioned about selling them, just when using them.  Being possessed in accordance with federal law is easy if you are a lawsuit group member.  “Legally registered”….could mean anything from “hey a 4473 = registration” to “we emailed you a list!”.  

Or it could be a matter of “it is fine to sell them, registration per state law is the owner’s problem before use”.  There is actually state precedent for this type of thinking, as suppressors have long been legal to own in WA, just not legal to actually use them until about 15 years ago.  (Ahhh yes, politicians and their stupidly written laws…)

One issue is that the state background check system has no way to do NFA items, so there would need to be a workaround to do that, or to just use NICS to do the BG check.  (And WA had the feds shut down all state dealers NICS accounts, so you would need to get the account restarted I guess, which I do know the FBI will do).  I have not heard of any guidance from WSP on the issue except for a BS email they sent out early on, saying nobody in WA was affected by the lawsuit (totally wrong, as lawsuit members can totally do SBR’s.)

The place I am hearing about is unlikely to be taking a big legal risk, but I am hearing it 4th hand so I will know more soon I hope.  


Meanwhile- I just got back a $200 tax paid 40mm Form 1, along with a $0 AOW Form 1, and a whole bunch of $0 suppressor Form 1’s as well.  Also some Form 4’s.  Haven’t yet done a no registration SBR as I can’t decide which firearm to do, as I already have dozens of $200 and $0 SBR’s….  Not a problem I would have expected to have say 15 years ago!

I still suggested to my kid today to get as many zero dollar Form 1’s and Form 4’s approved as possible right now, because I don’t trust blue states like OR and WA to fix this at the state level, in fact they likely will try to fuck over gun owners even further and claim it isn’t their fault.  So I would personally not sit on my hands if a resident of a state where federal registration is still required by state law, because yes, it can be worse than doing a free NFA registration- maybe in 2027 such states just outlaw such items regardless.  We know the dems love to pass laws now and fight in court later (using our tax dollars to do it).  And we know some legislators plan to do exactly that kind of thing, as they are freaking out right now over federal restrictions being loosened.  (“OMG- the peon citizens are actually buying suppressors at an alarming rate- quick, outlaw them!”).  OR did exactly that with FRT’s last year, so trusting the benevolence of dem legislatures is probably a bad plan… get it while the getting is good, and 2026 overall has been a damn good year for NFA type items so far….  If you plan to wait for the Supreme Court to slap down states doing that kind of stuff, you might wait a long time, and not be that happy about how they rule, as they seem OK with registration schemes overall….

Best to get your suppressors now, legally in whatever way possible, than to trust a democrat politician to help you out so you can buy one with less paperwork in the future, is basically what I am trying to say.  

2026 is one for the record books for sure already, plus the Supreme Court will be hearing an AWB case in a couple months….  Dems are getting their teeth kicked in at the federal level, and hopefully soon at the state level as well.  Nice to be winning for once.  Despite what Trump once said, I am not yet tired of all the winning!

Yes, their current membership system sucks. They were in the middle of switching between two systems when the ruling hit and demand for membership exploded overnight.

But look at it this way - would you rather have them spending the biggest chunk of their funding on administrative services, or on funding legal experts like NoloContendre to go kick ass and defend the 2A?

Personally, I’ll wait for a card….

WHMC Guns in Humboldt

He’ll yeah!  Thanks for that.  Hopefully these others will join in the party soon.  I can totally understand the hesitation since everything is riding on it for them.
 A few years back I won an Armilite 13 inch 3Gun type competition style rifle on the FB drawings the gun shop in Milan always ran that got in trouble for not being able to fill the orders for the cool American flag things they started selling.  Think a few members here ended up getting burned on that as well.  Shame because they were cool dudes that had one hell of a gun business going.
ETA I didn’t even know I had won until my son and his buddy called me just in time for me to call in and claim the thing.  Really nice shooter!

One more time, for the those who post without reading the previous pages.

I'm in Ohio, state law prohibits the possession of NFA firearms that aren't either registered  in the NFRTR or the owner has an Ohio Dangerous Ordnance License. No one in Ohio is buying suppressors on 4473s.  I'm personally, actively working with the County Sheriff to make that license available to Ohio Residents.  When the Sheriff starts issuing the DOL, I'll start selling suppressors on a 4473.

I always have been, and am still skeptical of the situation and don't trust the ATF to not jam up dealers down the road over this.  I've never said a bad thing about any dealer selling on a 4473.

I'm stating a fact that the claim of "dealers passing inspection"  doesn't justify, allow, or prove jack shit regarding anything related to 4473 sales without documented proof.   If the claim was true there would be a supporting ROV issued and signed by the IOI.  There is no reason to not share that ROV - if it existed.   It doesn't exist, because it's a bullshit claim and no one with any intelligence would use as justification to make a decision related to their business.
I'm no good at telling people what they want to hear when I dont believe it myself :)

Everyone:

STOP WAITING ON GUIDANCE !  It is not a valid excuse for refusing to sell suppressors without an approved Form 4.


Look, I just checked on an existing industry operating with NO guidance from the corresponding federal administrative agency:  the multi billion dollar recreational cannabis industry.  

There is ZERO federal guidance for recreational marijuana sales, according to this search (but look it up for yourself):

“The DEA has not issued specific guidance for recreational cannabis stores, as its current focus is primarily on medical cannabis, which has been reclassified to Schedule III. Recreational cannabis remains subject to state laws, and businesses must comply with both state regulations and any applicable federal laws.”

The entire recreational cannabis industry is in blatant violation of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).  There is NO injunction protecting them.  And yet, those stores operate openly in half the states.

Consider:  the drug industry is showing more bravery than the FFLs who refuse to follow the legal injunction protecting them  from ATF enforcement.

And ATF is not going to issue guidance.  The injunction IS the guidance.

I recently ordered an Obsidian 9 and a couple of non NFA accessories for it.  I had poor communication on the can and none on the small items.  I got the can in a reasonable time shipped to a 4473 dealer.  The small stuff was not with it.  Tried emails and Hiram said he did not know anything.  They finally showed up in my mailbox after 20 days.

Maybe FFLs should just listen to their own legal counsel and act in a manner they see fit, in their private business. A corner stone of GD, as of forever ago, has been " Their store, their rules".

Also, your anology is riddled with legal errors, and misrepresents the entire history of the challenges of the cannibis industry to operate.

They have been debanked due to federal laws, neighboring state police have surveilled and seized money traveling through their state, from marijuana sales. Etc, etc, etc. So you think FFLs should follow this model, and not expect problems?

I might have some bad news.  I'm rocking over a 1 month wait to get mine that I ordered the day of the injunction taking effect.  It did finally get to the dealer but I was close to asking for a refund.  They are swamped and everything is taking much longer than it normally would.  That's good for them, bad for us that aren't patient.  Hope yours is waiting for you.  It is a glorious time!

Has any non-FFL here sold an SBR/SBS/silencer/AOW in a non-form 4 transaction to another covered party, notified the NFA branch that they no longer possess the firearm, and received any sort of reply?

I ordered the day after the injunction took effect.  My order status changed from missing-details to preparing to transfer after the first week.  I just got a call yesterday from the dealer that it arrived and is waiting for me.  Just about a month total waiting time.  I'm driving to the dealer this weekend, about a 2.5hr trip.  He was the only one on this side of the state that was confirming he would transfer right away.

Renew, but by then I think things will be legal.

With mine I can walk in and out in about five minutes with a gun. Without it, background check. And system may be slow that day.

Well NC sucks but the dealer said he has been getting back form 4s in 24hrs.

I haven’t been tracking this thread but for anyone in KC on the Kansas side - Eagle Armory in OP is transferring on a 4473.  They are asking that you are GOA members.  

I didn’t even know the place existed until I started calling around.  Great place, tons of inventory.  Walked out with 2 cans they had in stock

My last few have been 12-14 hours.   Are any dealers in the "NFA" States letting their customers file form 4s, then letting them leave right then with the can after completing a 4473?    In that scenario the customer isn't stuck with a can that can't leave the state and the dealer has it removed from their inventory.  Seems like the best of both worlds.

Why cant the can leave the state otherwise? IIRC the .20 is not needed for cans or AOWs, right?

I believe someone sold a couple cans privately the weekend after the stay ended but I forget who or whether they notified FATF.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but - Unregistered NFA items cant be transported/sold across state lines. That's why sliencershop will only ship suppressors to dealers on form 3s.

Not sure need to ask my guy.

Per NC law I would be legal since the item had had the paperwork completed. Still waiting a day isn't a big deal, I once had to wait eight months for approval.

Ohio sucks as I was gonna tell my daughter she could get a can for the AR she built, but no they have to be as gay as NC.

All she needs is a $50 dangerous ordnance license if she doesnt want to do a form 4 in Ohio.
