1. Do I need to know the manufacturer, model number or serial number of a can before submitting a Form 4?
2. It asks for a caliber on the form.  Is this information necessary for purchasing a suppressor or is that for purchasing a SBR or MG?
3. Is the manufacturer I list the manufacturer of the suppressor or the gun?
4. It is OK to use the suppressor on multiple guns, correct?

Steps to get paperwork include:

My info
CoP info + fingerprints
Company I'm buying from's info

Does this mean I need to mail my form 4s to the supplier and then have them return them to me so I can send them to the ATF?

I found a good writeup on a SBR, but nothing for buying a suppressor.

Thanks!

My dealer filled out all the information. I just had the Form4 signed by the CLEO and the fingerprint cards filled out. Returned everything to the dealer with a check made out to the treasury department and he sent it to the ATF.



Caliber is needed, manufacturer, manufacturer address, dealer info, serial number, 2 pictures of transferee, CLEO signoff, trust if you are going that way along with schedule A (i think is being required).

Manufacturer of the suppressor is listed
Suppressor can be used on multiple guns.

Would they ship the can straight to me when the tax stamp comes in?
Who would the ATF send the tax stamp to?

Step 1 Go to dealer

Step 2 Pick out suppressor

Step 3 purchase suppressor

Step 4 Dealer fills out Form4 (he should have these) and another citizenship form

Step 5 bring form to CLEO get signoff, attach 2 passport photos to Form

Step 6 bring completed forms to dealer along with 200 check or mo made out to the treasury

step 7 dealer sends info to ATF

Step 8 wait and wait for approval


I would not fill out anything on your own, let the dealer instruct you on what to do.

No, the can and the approved Form 4 go to the dealer.

You have to wait for the Form 3 (dealer to dealer) transfer.  Once the can arrives at your dealer, you'll have all the info you need to complete the Form 4.

Are you buying from out of state?

If so your instate dealer and out of state dealer will need to do a tranfer, (Form 3 in think) then you will need to do a Form4 transfer.

You must pick up the can at the instate dealership.

I have never done a dealer to dealer transfer so maybe someone else can chime in here to give you some direction if i am not 100% correct

Thanks a lot guys.  It sounds like I need to choose a dealer and contact them.

Now comes the hard part....choosing which one to buy!
