If this has already been addressed, I apologize and point me in the right direction.

I have a trust with myself and one other person.  This will be my first incoming transfer since the change last summer.

How much is the kiosk for fingerprints?  If I understand it correctly, my/our prints are retained for future use?

Is it a one time charge or a charge "per transfer".

If it's a charge per transfer, is it more for 2 people on the trust?

Are the prints still printed on a card or sent in/attached electronically to my form?

The kiosk doesn't do pictures, correct?

The dealer could charge you to use their kiosk for the first time. Maybe $25 or something like that, but once you are in the system you are good to go. After that once you do your prints, input your info at the kiosk, and upload pictures via their app you are set. I have a trust with my wife on it. Once I buy the suppressor from Silencer Shop then I get and email from them to digitally sign my form, which is super easy. Honestly it’s extremly easy once you are in their system. Your prints never “expire”, but you will have to redo your pictures every year via the app.

If you buy your suppressor from Silencer Shop then there will not be an extra charge, but if you buy a suppressor from another dealer and ship it to your Silencer Shop dealer they can charge you a fee. My dealer charges me $25 for outside transfers using Silencer Shops system.

So if I'm building a SBR, or transfering between
Individuals (i.e., not buying from silencerco, or transferring g though their dealer) some sort of fee still applies?  But it's not a standard fee?  Is it charged by silencerco or the kiosk dealer ?

If you do the Form 1 for a Firearm (rifle or pistol) in your possession that you will SBR then there wouldn’t be a fee if you use Silencer Shops system. You will just buy everything from Silencer Shop (tax stamp & Form 1 service). If the dealer takes possession of the firearm (SBR already) while waiting for it to be approved then there will be a fee.

My dealer charges me $25 to use Silencer Shops system for outside transfers plus a standard $35 transfer fee.

Silencer Shop is a distributor that has kiosks at some of their Powered By Dealers.
Silencerco is a silencer manufacturer that sells through Silencer Shop.
Two different companies.


<---SS Powered By Dealer
41F became effective July 2016

No charge if you are using that dealer to receive your silencer. If you choose  a different dealer to receive your silencer, the dealer with a kiosk can charge up to $40 per person to let you scan puints on his kiosk.

Correct

Again, free if you choose that dealer to receive/transfer your SS purchase. All you need to do is scan your prints one time.

There are no transfer fees if you choose a Silencer Shop Powered By Dealer. His fees are included in your purchase price.

SS will print the scanned fingerprints to attach to the Form 4 they submit to ATF.

 
No. You download the SS photo app to your cellphone and take a selfie.

If you chose a dealer at checkout to receive your silencer, he cannot charge you to use his kiosk. If you chose another dealer (who does not have a kiosk), then the dealer with a kiosk can charge up to $40 to scan your prints. (Kiosks aren't free)


Not true for the reasons above.

 
You are confusing transfer fees with processing fees.
I doubt your dealer only charges you $25 to transfer a silencer you bought from someone else AND process the Form 4 via Silencer Shop. SS charges their Powered By Dealers $25 for processing Form 4's on silencers BOUGHT ELSEWHERE. Your dealer most likely charges a transfer fee PLUS $25 processing fee to run it through SS.

Currently you can use Silencer Shop to process your Form 1 (Maker of an NFA firearm).
SS does not currently offer a Form 4 processing service between individuals.

There most certainly can. Powered By Dealers with a kiosk can charge up to $40 to let someone scan their prints at their SS kiosk.


A Form 1 is for making an NFA firearm. The Powered By Dealer will never take possession.

That's a huge bargain for an NFA transfer.

I meant once you are in the system there shouldn’t be a fee for Silencer Shop. Only what Silencer Shop charges to process the Form 1. I haven’t used their system for Form 1s so I’m not well versed in it though.

I just bought a M11/9 MG and my dealer is only charging that. His NFA transfer fee is $35 per item. What’s really cool is that I was able to use Silencer Shop’s system for my Form 4 which made it easy. Just $25 for the processing fee.

I'll bet he's never calculated what insuring a $7000 gun costs him.
