Got Uzi Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I posted this on Sturm too.... I just saw this ad and had to click on it while reading another gun forum....how in the hell is this legit? Am I missing something on this or did something change and I was unaware? https://www.silencercentral.com/services/direct-shipping/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 They say they have an FFL/SOT in every state where suppressors are legal. Possibly it is a co-operating dealer rather than them holding 42 separate licenses. All the paperwork gets handled either electronically or by snail mail.

Got Uzi Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Even then the buyer would have to show up in person to pick the suppressor up as a 4473 is required so they cant just mail to your door as they are advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Does a 4473 have to be filled out in person or can it be done by mail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan K Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 There is an exception to in person 4473 if the transfer does not need to go through NICS. See ATF procedure 2013-2. ATF used to publish the 4473 part 2 for non-over the counter sales. I have not seen this form for several decades. Somewhere I have a copy an older FFL/SOT gave me from Subguns.

Got Uzi Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Ill have to check that out. Not opposed to learning something new but I was under the impression all 4473s had to be in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Legit from my understanding.. This has been around for a few years. Never tried selling that way since I prefer my customer come and pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Uzi Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Id prefer they pick up in person too. Like I said learned something new for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry Ploughboy Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 From what I understand, the (Democrat) AG here in MI has said that even if the Feds say it's okay, her interpretation is that MI law requires the NICS check and signoff at the Dealer. So when the silencer that I bought in early May gets approved (hopefully in no more than a few months or so from now), I'll have to go to his shop, get the NICS approval done there, and pick it up from him. MHO, YMMV, etc. Be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varminter Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Don't you still need fingerprints and a 2x2" photo? SilencerShop has kiosks in many states for the prints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) This company looks similar to silencershop.com and speaking as an FFL/sot this does in fact work. local dealers sign up to work with silencershop and silencershop does all the work. The only paperwork I do is cash a commission fee sent by silencershop, and complete a federal 4473. There is a box to check on the 4473 that a nics check is not required by the dealer as the form 4 covers the background check. So I would say buy in confidence.
