There are just a few things that would prevent you from purchasing a firearm. Buying a gun online is just like being in the store because it is your local dealer that will process the same background check and fill out the same paperwork they would have if they sold the item to you.

If you are in the state of Florida, we will contact you directly on your next steps as we will handle the NFA Transfer of your silencer. Otherwise its very similar to purchasing a firearm online with one extra step.
- Contact your local FFL – Inform them that you would like to have your silencer shipped to their store for NFA paperwork processing and pickup. You need to make sure your FFL currently holds a valid SOT. Ask them about their fee for providing the pickup service (usually around $50 to $150, but it varies depending on the state and individual FFL.) If you agree with the fee, arrange the transfer.
- Let us know who your FFL SOT is and the address to which we will be sending the silencer (if you already have your FFL shipping info – use it when checking out for the shipping address.) Don’t worry we will contact you if we don’t here from you!
- To give you a fair warning, some FFL holders hate it when you buy your gun or silencer online since they lose out on the margin of the actual gun and time spent helping you transfer. So research and ask around your area to find the most accommodating FFL.

The ultimate decision rests entirely with you. Only you can determine what aligns best with your unique situation. While we often lean toward trusts due to their flexibility—which is why we provide trust setup as a service—we also recognize the advantages of individual filing, particularly in expediting the process for your silencer. Carefully weigh the pros and cons of each option, and rest assured that we’re here to support you, no matter which path you choose.
Yes, but only if you live in the State of Florida and we process your ATF Form 4, we can ship your silencer directly to your door. We charge $49 for that service.
