Anyone find a dealer willing to forgo the form 4? I know there’s one in Hixson, but I’d rather find someone closer in middle TN. Thought I would ask here

Further out than Hixson, but appreciate the reply. Sucks, I can’t find someone close. At least not yet anyhow

Are shops still waiting for clarification from the ATF?

Earthbag house - like an earthsheltered house, but cheaper and easier to DIY.

Had to look up Cross Roads, good see they are starting to sell on the 4473 now. Liberty Arms in Tazewell sells on the 4473 too.

The only thing I can think of is to start looking at Silencer Shop dealer finder. Start with the closet dealer to you and start calling them and looking at their social media pages. When I call places I'll ask "since I am a GOA member are silencers same day delivery or do I wait for ATF approval".

I’m sending it armoryguns in Hixson. It’s closer and they only need to see my GOA membership

Pioneer Arms in Paris, was in there Saturday and they are also signing up GOA memberships if you aren’t a member yet

Smoky Mountain Guns & Ammo posted that they are doing 4473s starting today for GOA members.

Mid-TN is officially on the list! Since the Royal Range report and then Silencer Shop dealer locator fell apart ...

Bullseye Range in M'boro announced they will transfer for GOA members as of today. But you must give them a receipt of membership, not just show proof.

Of course they are now. Mines already in motion on the way to Dixson, looks like I’ve got a nice 2 hour drive ahead. Lol

It was a zoo up there today.

I ordered a gun online and went to go pick it up. They were selling suppressors like they were candy.

Of course while I was doing my 4473, the computers went down. They did get them back up, thankfully.

For middle TN folks, can confirm, Defiance Armory in Hendersonville is doing 4473s, 50 for the transfer fee.

Oh hell yeah, that is down the street. I did see that high caliber was doing them but DA is way closer

If you go, can you report back at what their I store stock looks like? Mine was already shipped, hell of a deal on an Anthem S2, but now I gotta drive 2 hours to pick it up. Oh well.

Same, I’ll be there at the end of next week. They did ask me to bring my GOA membership, not sure if that applies to you since yours is coming from SS. Mines not

Anyone know if any of the Modern Warriors locations in middle TN are doing 4473 suppressor transfers to GOA members?

Call and ask. This has been a very fluid situation in the last few weeks across the state.

Was going to say the same, I’d call and ask.

As of last weekend Modern Warriors is NOT doing 4473s. I was in the store picking up a firearm and asked, was told they are waiting still (but the October date for potential appeal was mentioned, although unclear what MW will do after that date).

This is exactly why you call. Several shops in and around Knoxville were changing their policy in just a matter of days.

Like I said earlier, this is a very fluid situation.
