Legal to buy silencers online ?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Yes it is.  37 states allow unlicensed persons to own buy and sell silencers.  All it takes is to fill out a few forms and pay the tax.  The ATF is not allowed to deny approval for silencer purchase or to make a silencer as long as the paperwork is filled out correctly.  To buy a silencer online, go to the auction site or dealer’s site and pay for the silencer.  Then submit the ATF form 4 that the dealer provides or you can download it from http://www.titleii.com/Forms.htm or obtain them for free from the ATF on their website.  The ATF form is sent it in along with form 5330.20, fingerprints and a check for $200.  Approval takes 1-2 months and is routine.



Check out http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Browse.... for some current prices.  You can buy directly from a person in your state, but must go through a dealer if the seller is in another state.  You can find a dealer here, http://www.subguns.com/c2c3/c2c3.htm .  You can find more info here, http://www.silencertests.com .  You must be at least 18 to make a silencer or buy a silencer from a person in your state, 21 and up to receive from a dealer.  

The ATF forms are just proof the tax was paid, they are not a license or permit.  bc, Fishy and Kim0009 should learn how to tell the truth instead of making stuff up.

Answer 5

yes. but you have to pay a 200$ transfer tax (you know, to keep those common folk from getting 'em) and pass a background check.

Answer 6

Absolutely NOT.

In the US, silencers are illegal, no matter where you buy them. If you attempt to buy or sell silencers online, the BATFE -will- find you and you will be in a colossal amount of legal trouble.

The only way to legally purchase a silencer is through a lengthy background check and permitting process.
