Completing ATF Form 4:

This is the main application form for a suppressor. Our staff at Elk River Guns will assist you in filling it out accurately. This form requires your personal details, a description of the suppressor, and the serial number.

Fingerprint Cards and Passport Photos:

You’ll need to submit fingerprints and passport-sized photos along with your Form 4. We can help you complete these steps also.

Dealing with Common Delays

The most frequent cause of delays is incorrect or incomplete paperwork. Our team at Elk River Guns will double-check all your forms and documents to minimize any chances of delay.
