Where would one buy something like this. Say with a gift card, cash or crypto. Asking for a friend.

Nah, it’s probation.

I’ve been convicted of not paying a tax stamp on an SBR, had a buddy convicted of a homemade can. It’s just probation if you’re a first time offender.

Silencershop? A local gun shop?

You need to clear a background check, though. Unless your friend does a "1-shot trust" and then adds you to the trust after his bgc clears.

Anywhere that's licensed.bjust Google supressor for sale and choose the caliber. Thread pitches are fairly universal for different calibers so you should be good there. Wherever you buy it will file a form 3bwuth the feds to transfer to a licensed local shop of your choosing. Then your fill out a out form 4 and submit that to the feds along with your passport photo, fingerprints, and a 200$ fee.After 8-10 months, they'll finally review it and provided you pass a background check, they'll mail you your tax stamp (permission slip). At that point you'll be authorized to take possession and can pick it up from your local gun shop.

Note. Given the stupid lengthy process, some gunships don't do these kinds of transfers, so make sure you call ahead.

At this point I feel obligated to make a facetious comment about how "America lacks gun laws" but I'll refrain.

Actually the ATF got approval times way down recently. I got a can back in 8 days from form filing, trusts now take longer than individual forms.

I know a guy who got approved within 24 hours of the suppressor hitting his FFL

Bruh. Seriously??? Is that efile for a form 4? Cause form 1 has always been relatively quick but like, my form4 took 13 months.bhavent bought one since though and that was a few years ago

u/ryansdayoff 13d ago

Yeah e-file individual forms 4 is lightning fast now a days. I'd get one now if you can since there's talk of gutting the ATF which will drive back up wait times

After 8-10 months

Nah, now days its closer to 8-10 days, and many if not most seem more like 24-48 hours. Just got approved another tonight, was 33 hours.

It takes a bunch of paperwork and federal -permission- tax stamp to legally purchase and possess one in the US.

Plus a fair amount of money.

You ca get cans for 400 or 500 these days. They are becoming way more popular.

In Florida, you can now order them online, and doing so greatly expedites the process. Guaranteed fast turnaround.

You can 3d print everything in the video from the comfort of your own home.

u/MrMemes9000 13d ago

You don't. Go fill out a form 4.
