Nfa products

Does or will psa do nfa items suppressors sbrs and such? If you already do at which stores? Really wanting to get into that world but am very intimidated by it. I need someone to walk me thru the process and help me with laws and requirements.

Yes they do! I know the Fernandina store has cans and I think Summerville does also. Lots of us on here have NFA stuff, so feel free to ask questions. It may be intimidating but it is painless except the long wait.

Thank you for the quick response. I will contact summerville and if and when I have questions I will def ask. Everyone here has been so amazing.

Ask away. Some of us have done the trust route, the individual route, as well as form 1 and some of the form 4s.

I had never intended to own an SBR, but stumbled into a very affordable chance to rebarrel an AR and decided to take the leap. I was able to do it basically on my own. With a good resource like you have here, you should be golden. Like GG said, the wait is the hardest part, but when it finally ends, it’s showtime! :grinning: :+1:

I submitted my first Form 4 a couple of months ago. It’s a ridiculously long wait for something as harmless as a suppressor, but hopefully it will be worth the wait. The GOP never does anything to roll back these infringements when they’re in power, but when the commies have control the GOP pretend to be pro-gun.

@nobody welcome to the forums! My first stamp took 5 months (2014) . My longest (2019) took over a year. I currently have an Obsidian 9 in jail, and a friend of mine had 3 come back in about 6.5 months.

I ordered my first suppressor last year and recently received approval of my form 4. I took the trust route but the website I used set up the trust for me. The process took about 7 months for approval. I am now waiting for local law enforcement to acknowledge receipt of the transfer form 4473. Once that’s done, I should have it in a week or two. Its a very annoying and tyrannical process but the more we normalize NFA items, the more likely we are to get make some headway in decreasing restrictions on them via common use.

Welcome to the addiction @mds7399 .

@GuitarGuy at this point, I want so many cans that I am considering getting a Type 02 FFL and a Class 3 SOT to save money and have the ability to be a dealer.

The problem is you will be hard to beat the volume done by places like Capital Armory and Silencer Shop. Just use your trust.

Question about SBR or not. Doesn’t have anything to do with a brace. If you buy a complete rifle with a 16 in barrel. Then you remove the lower and the butt stock. Then take that lower and connect a pistol length (less than 16 in) upper. Does this make an SBR since the lower was sold as a rifle or is it a pistol depending only on current configuration not original config? Only asking federal not state laws. I understand every state is different. I also believe you can go from pistol to rifle but not sure about going from rifle to pistol. This is just a curiosity thing not looking for legal advice.

If you attach any upper (less than 16") to any lower with a stock you have made an SBR which is regulated by the NFA.

Also, there is some confusion about the whole pistol to rifle and back. If the lower was transferred as a rifle on 4473, it will forever be a rifle, brace, no brace, stock or no stock.

If the lower was stripped, it would be transferred as an “other” and can be made into a rifle or pistol.

A pistol can be converted to a rifle and back.

This.

Plus, since the record of sale exists solely at your FFL, it doesn’t really matter to the AFT how the lower was classified at the time of transfer. What the configuration of it is at the time of possession is what they will use to take your freedom.

“Other Firearm” is the box that gets a check mark in section 24 of the 4473, but “receiver” gets put everywhere else, including the A&D book/record (stays with FFL) and the firearm type check box during the NICS check.

If the lower was transferred as a rifle on 4473, it will forever be a rifle, brace, no brace, stock or no stock.

This is the part I am curious about. Is this true? If I buy it as a rifle can I then configure it as a pistol legally with a short barrel and no stock or would that be considered an illegal SBR?

correct.

illegal sbr .


15 months and 9 days later…

greenville store sells cans.

im smelling a rat.
if the only record is at the FFL and they destroy records per the law, how can anyone, after 6 months and records destroyed, ever say what a specific gun is?
