Traveling with National Firearms Act (NFA) items like machine guns, short-barreled rifles/shotguns, and destructive devices across state lines requires prior authorization from the ATF via Form 5320.20. While silencers and Any Other Weapons (AOWs) are not explicitly listed as requiring this authorization by law, submitting the form is recommended for documentation. The ATF's approval does not exempt individuals from other applicable firearms statutes, and NFA items must be legal in the destination state. Submissions should be made at least two months in advance.
