Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy a suppressor now or wait until 2026?

The decision depends on your priorities. Buying now means paying the $200 NFA tax but getting your suppressor faster due to current quick ATF approval times. Waiting might save you the $200 tax if it's removed, but could lead to much longer wait times due to increased Form 4 applications.

What is the $200 NFA tax stamp?

The $200 NFA tax stamp is a federal tax required by the National Firearms Act (NFA) for the legal acquisition of certain firearm items, including suppressors. Its potential removal is a key factor in purchasing decisions.

How will waiting affect suppressor wait times?

Waiting to buy a suppressor could significantly increase wait times. If the $200 NFA tax stamp is removed, a surge in Form 4 applications is expected, potentially overwhelming the ATF and extending processing durations considerably.

What are the current ATF wait times for suppressors?

Currently, ATF approval times for suppressors are described as unusually fast. This makes purchasing a suppressor now a viable option for those who want quick acquisition, despite the associated $200 NFA tax stamp.
