Tax stamp 2026

[mgray]

Sorry if this had been discussed, but I didn’t see anything in a search. Is it confirmed that the tax stamp will be eliminated on 1/1/2026? I’ve never owned one, but will buy one soon. Does it make sense to wait a few months to save $200? Will suppressor prices change? I’m not in a big hurry. Thanks.

The stamp will still exist, it just won’t cost anything. If you aren’t in a hurry, you might as well wait.

I personally wouldn't wait if it is your first. I tend to agree with the S2H podcast where they thing wait times will be dramatically extended. At least in the beginning.

If you want to wait for the $0 stamp, check with your SOT if they will receive and hold it till Jan 1. Then you paid todays price and shop todays inventory availability and just have to deal with the approval timeline after Jan 1 when your form 4 is submitted.
