Are you a Class III dealer?
Yes. We are a licensed Class 3 Manufacturer (07/02) and a direct dealer for Silencer Shop and most major suppressor brands. We can receive Form 3 or Form 4 items and host your in-person fingerprint kiosk visit.
How long is the ATF wait for a suppressor?
Wait times vary. Historically 6-12 months, but recent Form 4 e-file processing has been faster for some applicants. This is controlled by ATF, not by us. We'll notify you the moment your stamp is approved.
Can you help me convert my rifle to an SBR?
Yes. We guide you through the Form 1 process via Silencer Shop and can do the required engraving in-house once approved. Check our NFA page for full detail.
