Can I Choose a Dealer That Is Not in My State?

Understand ATF regulations on interstate NFA transfers and why you must select a dealer located in your own state.

No — the ATF prohibits the transfer of NFA items across state lines.
You must select a dealer within your state of residence to complete your suppressor or NFA item transfer.

If you purchase an item that’s currently located with a dealer in another state, Silencer Shop will first transfer it to a local in-state dealer via an approved Form 3 (FFL-to-FFL transfer) before your Form 4 submission process begins.
