Since moving to Best Virginia last May I’ve only purchased one firearm and only completed one EForm 1 for an SBR since the stamps went to $0 in January. Was hoping to see good results of the cases that were ruled on last week and excited to see they appear to have tipped in our favor.

Huge thread in GD, but has anyone in here purchased a suppressor sans Form 4 yet?

@Bubbles I know you’re waiting for word from ATF. You’re also just down the mountain from us (we’re near Shadowhawk) so I’d like to do some business with you if/when you’re able.

The few FFL's who have heard back from ATF are being told that nothing has changed.

Silencer Shop is shipping cans on F3 which means they end up in the local transfer FFL's inventory.  I think most buyers are using the SS kiosk to purchase which means SS is submitting the F4 and waiting until it's approved before shipping the suppressor.  So there is an approved F4, it's just that the local FFL isn't submitting it.

Thanks for the firsthand insight. Hoping we all get some answers straight from the horse’s mouth next week and things can start moving forward.

I put a can in my online cart and selected you as my FFL destination, but came here next to see what the status of the situation was. Guess I'll wait for word that 4473 is all we need, if that ever happens.

Green Monstah said they’re doing it if you show proof of GOA membership. He mentioned some other hoops otherwise.
I equate GD as the Westboro Baptist Church of arfcom: fun to mess with on occasion, full of ignorant bastards, and they always try to turn a good thing into something bad.

Park Center in Rainelle posted yesterday that this morning.   (9/2/2026)  They will be starting to sell cans over the counter with GOA membership and 4473.  

If I wasn't working today and already have plans after work.  I'd be heading that way.

Thursday after work will be heading that way!

Picked up 3 at Park Center today.  Was told that since yesterday.  Over 40 had been sold.  I had to sign a paper saying that IF the ruling is reversed.  Then I would have to return them, and then do the forms the old fashion way.

They have been posting on Facebook since the injunction, GOA members and WV residents on 4473s.  Not sure what inventory they have but just seconding the info...

ATR is a great store.  In door range.    Machine gun rentals.    Good inventory.  

My son lives very close and we always go when I am in town.

I was at ATR last week and they had a lot of suppressors of various calibers.  You need to be a GOA member and fill out the 4473 to get one,

Stopped by Park Center yesterday on my way home from the Summersville Gunshow.

Picked up another 2 .22 cans.   Very happy with the purchase.
