Selling Used Suppressor in 2026?

[ChrisAU]

Putting in to the test today. Sold my Omega 300 to @STXB245 and his FFL in Texas (I’m in Alabama) sent me all his info minutes later. Took me about 2 minutes to submit the Form 4 in eForms. It took every thing fine, individual to FFL/SOT, across state lines. I expect approval by the end of the week. Kinda crazy how easy it is now really.

Annnddd approved. 23 hours 35 minutes, individual to FFL/SOT across state lines. Too easy.

Was the buyer an FFL/SOT or an individual?

Buyer was an individual, so I form 4'd its from myself (individual in Alabama) directly to his dealer (FFL/SOT in Texas).

Ah okay, so anything out of state requires transfer to an FFL/SOT first?

I assume so but I can't say for sure. I thought about that as well. Buy my Wyoming Arms 4 Squared Ti I have for sale and we'll attempt a direct across state lines lol!

I assume that it would be the same as a firearm transfer across state lines and require a dealer in the buyer's state, especially since you fill out a 4473.

4”, wasn’t enough huh? Haha
I’m eyeing the Nomad XC Ti for my next can.

None of my Local FFLs have been interested in doing the used suppressor transfer. I have provided them with documentation from the ATF. But they seem very gun-shy to do it.

One of them gave me the lecture about how if you own a suppressor, it is yours forever and must be destroyed when you die.

Interesting how some of these people have FFL’s

Ask them what a Form 5 is. Lol!

Sold a 2nd suppressor and did the Form 4 on my phone just now. It’s kinda crazy how easy this is now. Sucks we have to do anything at all, but this is a vast improvement.

In the process now, are you filling out the questions on behalf of the buyer? or "completing it together in person?"

I am transferring to dealers so I fill in their info.

Hello all, I am 99% done with my eForm 4 for transfer from my personal single shot trust to another in state hunter. I keep getting an error during validation that I am missing my email on the Transferor page. But no matter how many times I enter it, the system will not retain my email. Has anyone else had that error when attempting to transfer from a trust? The email is just as it appears on the original Form 4, SilencerSo account, trust, etc. Dreading the wait times if I have to call ATF on Monday!

Well, if anyone else has this issue... eForms did not like Safari. I switched to Firefox, and saved email, validated the form, and submitted.

 

[RAM190Hog]

FYI. I submitted the eForms on a Sunday evening. It was approved and returned by that Friday. Sale complete. Pretty seamless really.

Anyone want a lightly used CAT Noah, lol.

Had it on a 6 arc build but moving to a bolt action so may opt for the og/6s otb instead for that application.

So if buying in state what do I as the buyer need to do?

I have eforms that Scheels setup a few years ago. I have not logged in myself.

I can get my picture and fingerprint file from my dealer.

You submit a Form 4 with the transferer's information and submit it with the usual photo and prints. I sold a suppressor in state over a decade ago and did it with the old paper forms. I suppose the process is exactly the same with e-filing.
