As many of you may have heard, a federal court recently struck down portions of the NFA relating to the registration of suppressors, SBRs, and AOWs. Right now, though, it looks like the ruling only applies in fairly limited circumstances — things like qualifying group membership or where the NFA item came from.
We want to be honest with you: we'd genuinely love to start transferring suppressors without Form 4s right away. We're strong supporters of the Second Amendment, and if anything, we're probably just as excited as you are to see these restrictions go away.
That said, without clear written guidance from ATF/DOJ, it's hard to change our procedures responsibly just yet. If the ruling ends up stayed, appealed, narrowed, or changed in some way, any transfers we'd already completed could put customers and our business in a difficult spot.
We've been talking with our legal counsel, other dealers and following statements from bigger names in the industry who are facing this same question, and the feeling seems pretty universal: it's better to move carefully until there's real clarity.
So for now, until we get clear written guidance from ATF/DOJ and the green light from our legal counsel, we'll keep processing NFA transfers the standard way, through Form 4. The moment that changes, we'll let you know.
We really do understand the frustration — we feel it too — and we're looking forward to updating this process as soon as we responsibly can.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, continued support and patronage.
