Re: Suppressor question

Hey GC06:

In a nutshell:
Suppressors are legal to own.
Basically, you purchase it through a class III dealer. Then you apply for - and pay for-a Federal Tax stamp ($200.00). This is a one time payment to the BATFE for that one particular suppressor. Yes, this is in addition to the price of the suppressor.

Then you wait for approval from the BATFE. Your Class III dealer should be able to answer all of your questions. If not, find another Class III dealer.

YOU of course, have to meet certain requirements

And, there are a couple of different ways to go about getting one such as corporate ownership vs. personal. There are some advantages to purchasing it through a corporation, primarily not having to get signed off by your chief of police, etc.

Good Luck
