Suppressors · What changed

$0 tax stamp.
Days, not months.

For years a can meant a $200 federal tax and a long wait. Now the tax is zero and eForm 4 approvals come back in days. The can itself isn't covered by SB25-003; the rifle you put it on might be. We handle the paperwork at the counter.

  • $0federal tax stamp
  • Daystypical eForm 4 wait

“Danny fixed my single action cowboy revolver very easily and I was amazed thank you so much. So I brought my 1022 to him to see if he can fix an intermittent problem. I’m very grateful.”
