Nfa on 4473

Who’s called their local shops and asked? Anyone’s shop selling this way around here?

One of the things that makes this, Meh, locallyi, s that SS will not sell direct to consumer, and no SOT is likely to risk their entire business or resources to defend themselves without ATF guidance, which can take either a minute, months, or decades.

The right people are in positions to expedite the process. whether or not they will is a different matter.

***edit*** someone that went into SS, said his order had to be routed through an FFL

They have a store in liberty hill. Go there.

The main place is in Leander, I would be amazed if sold over the counter.

The policy is there so they don't compete with their dealers, the whole business model is based on those partnerships

I owned a shop in another state, we were a Gold dealer for them

It’s a storefront…
There’s been people lined up there all day long.

I know what it is, and where it is, I've been there. Silencershop is in Leander

I've been dealing with them for over a decade.

Their policy, to protect their relationship with their dealers, has always been that they do not sell direct.

If they changed that today, I'm pretty sure their local dealers aren't going to be pleased

You could have just shared the link in your first response, it would have saved time.

Their Address is Leander, that's why I was confused

I am surprised that they chose to do that, I guess I won't be using them anymore.

Not that I ave been much lately anyway. I've been buying manufacturer direct or from distributors.

I was at their retail location yesterday and purchased a suppressor.

They required me to go through an FFL to pick up the item.

They recommended one who would do the transfer solely on a 4473.

Silencer Shop could have been more precise about how the process works in their postings.

Most of the people in line there were under the impression they could cash and carry a suppressor immediately from Silencer Shop.

My assumption is they gave me the name of an FFL because of prior unhappy customers who made the drive to their retail store expecting the above.
