Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Suppressor Stamp

Just curious how many here are waiting on a tax stamp for their suppressor. Obviously trying to beat the 41F deadline last July. I've got one from April and another from June. How many you got and when did you send off the form?

SBR instead of a suppressor for me this time, but I'm waiting since June. (We had about a 2 week window between our SBR law going into effect and 41P.)

I originally assumed it would be about a year's wait, but now it looks hopeful for the end of this year.

I'm waiting on four suppresses and one SBR. Did two suppresses and 1 SBR Second week of July. Then I did to suppress last week of July. I was told approximately eight months.

Waiting on two from March 25, one from May 9 and a form 1 from June 20.

I'm close to 8 months on my March forms, my money is on >12 months for June and July submissions.

I'm guessing I won't see anything for a year.

My June submission is for an element 2 rimfire suppressor. I was really looking forward to using it before the end of deer season (not on deer of course ) Oh well always next season.

Cousin got his back last month, it took 7 months.

Don't give up, it'll be like Christmas morning when your dealer calls.

My first one took 7 month's to clear it was submitted February second who now's how long it was submitted July 7.

After posting this, figured I'd check in with the ATF on mine first 2... My Silencerco Omega was approved on Oct 31, Sparrow still pending. Then, on the way home, FFL called and said he received my stamp today!

So that was 7 1/2 months!

One rimfire suppressor (Dead Air Mask) from March still floating in the breeze, but I believe that's mostly because of where I purchased.

3 others already at FFL, just waiting on stamps. (Another Dead Air Mask, Silencerco Omega, & Hybrid).

Update. Long lost Dead Air Mask now enroute as of today.

Are you saying you bought it in March and it is just now shipping to your dealer? What happened?

Yes. Exactly what I'm saying. The dealer has been jerking my chain (as well as many others). Finally got it shipped after threatening him with legal action.

In any case, it's on the way to my FFL.

Ouch! That sucks!

Yeah, I'd finally had enough. Even with a duplicate coming, I don't like the feeling when somebody's blowing colored smoke at me and I know it. He was swapping around serial numbers and doing other dumb stuff.

When I get to that point, I'll spend a couple to several grand to make a point with a dumbass.

I have had two very BAD experiences with Class III dealers. Like...bad. Really bad.

I have one more can in the works and then I'm done. Centerfire pistol.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed they finally do away with the stamp.

Whispers this may pass with Trump...

Hearing Protection Act of 2015

This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) eliminate the $200 transfer tax on firearm silencers, and (2) treat any person who acquires or possesses a firearm silencer as meeting any registration or licensing requirements of the National Firearms Act with respect to such silencer. Any person who pays a tax on a silencer after October 22, 2015 may receive a refund of such tax.

The bill amends the federal criminal code to preempt state or local laws that tax or regulate firearm silencers.

They can keep my money just let me walk in, buy a suppressor and walk out with it. I'll even fill out a 4473 on it.

I need a centerfire pistol can, too. One that'll handle 9mm (and .45 ACP maybe). I think I'm also done then.
