Suppressor Ownership 101
Form 4, tax stamps, wait times, and what to expect during your transfer.
You do not need a "license"
Suppressors are regulated by the National Firearms Act. Ownership requires a $200 tax stamp and an ATF Form 4 — it is a registration, not a license.
Expect a wait
Form 4 processing varies. eFile has historically been faster than paper. Your suppressor sits with your dealer until the form clears.
