Question from curious bystander = If I as a Tennessee resident wish to purchase a suppressor from you, what are the logistical steps to get said suppressor in my grubby little hands (after NKVD approval of course)??? Can it be shipped directly to me or must it go through a TN Class 3 dealer?? And can this be done with multiple suppressors in the same purchase?? Thanks, Bill

Thank you for your interest in suppressor ownership and, more specifically, in purchasing your suppressor from Silencer Shop.
To purchase a suppressor from us is quite simple. You can buy our suppressors directly from our website at www.silencershop.com or you can call us at (512) 931-4556 and we can help you with the purchase over the phone.
Once you have purchased the suppressor we will need to transfer the suppressor to a class III firearms dealer in your state. On our website, there is a class III dealer finder that help you locate which dealer you would like us to transfer the suppressor to.
The link for the Class III finder is here: http://www.silencershop.com/support/ffl-finder?zipcode=&radius=25
Once we have the information on which dealer to transfer the suppressor to, we will submit a dealer-to-dealer transfer to the ATF for approval. This approval process usually takes about 4 weeks. Once we have that approval, we will ship the suppressor to your local dealer via Priority Mail and we will email you with a tracking number so that you can track the package via the US Post Office’s website.
When the suppressor arrives at your local dealer, the dealer will transfer the suppressor to you. If your FFL does not e-file have them contact us and we can e-file for them if they are willing. To complete this process you will need to pay a $200.00 tax to the federal government. When that transfer is approved, you may then legally possess the suppressor.
