Is their a site that operates like Silencer Shop that sells factory new NFA firearms?

I may be missing something here but that seams like their is no one doing this.

I know that are thousands of people like me that do not have the Shop, Space, Time, Expertise or Knowledge to build SBS and SBRs  of various types and styles.

It would be nice to just pull up a webstore similar to SS and buy a SBR or SBS and have them take care of the paper work hassle and tax stamp and just send the gun to my local FFL when it comes time to pick it up.


I maybe totally missing something here.

That is very true. The whole paper work thing is a bit over whelming to me. Just seams like their would be a place for a service like this as long as the prices where reasonable.

And when I was thinking of SBRs and SBS I was thinking of the not so easy to convert guns. Stuff that required skill and a machine shop.

The problems, as I see them:

It's not until recently that building a silencer on a form 1 was a cost-effective option for most people. The greatest demand for suppressors has been for mass produced ones from the major manufacturers (AAC, GemTech, Surefire, YHM, etc). The same can't necessarily be said for SBR's and SBS'; which, for the most popular models, can be easily built by replacing a barrel (AR's and 870's are just that easy). if the bulk of SBR's or SBS' are being made on Form 1's, there isn't much of a market for such a service; especially not enough to make it financially viable.

As for DD's, there aren't many licensed DD manufacturers or importers. Other FFL's can legally only do a 'limited' number of DD transfers without getting a DD manufacturer's or importer's FFL. (What constitutes that limited number is, as far as I know, unknown, because I don't believe BATFE has ever actually stated a hard number. Of course, the majority of SOT's who lack DD licenses would be gun shy about handling a DD transfer, as it it's completely foreign ground for most of them, and foreign ground scares a lot of FFL's. So, if there aren't but a relatively small number of licensees who can and will do DD transfers, there's not really a financially viable market for such a service.

sound reasoning

I see a price gap:
Cheapest factory SBRs is know of are colts sold by Arms Unlimited for maybe a BCM with a DD for probably a few hundred more

With NFA becoming more and more mainstream, people are attracted to $140 PSA lowers and $300 PSA uppers. Add the BCG and sights of your choice and you're rocking and rolling for 2/3 the price.

Enough places sell factory NFA items, you just have to look

I believe Rainier and DSG arms should also be on the list with Quiet Riot, and Capitol Armory

I will admit, the allure of a factory F4 SBR exists for me.
I haven't checked the "colt rollmark" off my list of lowers so maybe that's the perfect storm.
