Selling Used Suppressor in 2026?

I have these I'd part with for significant savings off new, in Alabama. I sold one ind to ind in-state on paper forms in 2026, I have no problem learning how to e-form it with a buyer. Certainly easier if you have an EFT file, or if your in Alabama and near Dothan we could meet at Southern Outdoor Sports in Dothan.

SilencerCo Scythe STM - Very little use. If any at all.

SilencerCo Omega 300 - Heavy use, stills looks great though.

Wyoming Arms 4 Squared Ti FDE - 1/2-28 threads, 30 cal aperture - Mild use, some wear in the finish from gun case.

1. Yes you can use eforms for the whole process. It’s incredibly simple.

2. If you plan on being the buyer you will need to get your fingerprints digitized into an EFT document. There are paid and free ways of doing this. I had my local PD roll my prints on the official card and converted it myself. There’s easier ways for a small fee.

3. You can sell it out of state, and no, most importantly you don’t need to first transfer it to a dealer in your state.

4. Selling in state is undoubtably easier since it doesn’t involve shipping or transferring to an out of state dealer first. You can do the whole person to person eform together.

There is the option to to transfer from individual or trust to an ffl/sot directly in eforms, you just need their ffl info and CLEO to do so, nothing else. Once they receive it it’s between the buyer and them to complete their transfer from ffl to buyer - you have no part in this and the dealer likely will charge a transfer fee, like any other transfer.

It’s also possible the dealer doesn’t want to be involved in a private party used sale since you’re not an ffl, make sure your buyer confirms in advance and call the ffl yourself and validate what you heard from the buyer.

So we can Form 4 Individual to an out of state FFL/SOT? Very interesting, I thought a Form 3 was required for ownership to cross state lines.

Correct. That’s exactly what I did last week with a form 4.

Form 3 is specifically ffl to ffl transfers, so it would not apply to you.

Mind if I ask how you converted them?

I know Print Scan does them at select UPS stores for ~$60.
 
I did an individual to individual transfer on 2 suppressors.
Pretty easy process.
Now I can get a couple new ones.
