How the Suppressor Buying Process Works
Choose Your Suppressor
Browse the full Silencer Shop catalog online or in-store. We can help you select the right suppressor for your caliber, firearm, and intended use — from rimfire to big bore.
Electronic Fingerprints
We have an electronic fingerprint machine on-site. No ink, no mess — your fingerprints are captured digitally and submitted electronically, speeding up your ATF Form 4 approval.
Complete Your ATF Form 4
We guide you through the ATF Form 4 paperwork for your NFA tax stamp. Individual or trust — we handle both and make sure everything is filled out correctly the first time.
Pay Your $200 Tax Stamp
The federal NFA tax stamp is $200 per suppressor. This is a one-time fee paid to the ATF and is required for all NFA items including suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and more.
Wait for ATF Approval
Once submitted, your Form 4 goes to the ATF for review. Current wait times vary — Silencer Shop's electronic submission process helps minimize delays compared to paper filing.
Pick Up Your Suppressor
When your tax stamp is approved, we'll give you a call. Come in, complete the transfer, and walk out with your new suppressor. It's that simple.
Electronic Fingerprint Machine On-Site
One of the biggest advantages of purchasing through Northwoods Firearms is our electronic fingerprint capture machine. Traditional ink fingerprint cards are a thing of the past — our digital system captures your prints quickly and accurately, then submits them electronically with your Form 4.
Electronic fingerprints through Silencer Shop's system are processed faster and with fewer rejections than traditional ink cards. This means less hassle and a smoother path to your ATF approval.
Full Dealer Support from Silencer Shop
As an authorized Silencer Shop dealer, we have direct access to their dealer support network, real-time inventory, and the Single Shot Trust — a free NFA gun trust provided by Silencer Shop that simplifies ownership and allows multiple co-trustees.
We stay current on all NFA regulations and ATF requirements so you don't have to. Have questions about suppressors, SBRs, or other NFA items? Bobby and the team are here to answer them.
Common Questions
Is it legal to own a suppressor in Wisconsin?
Yes. Wisconsin is a suppressor-friendly state. You must complete the federal NFA process (Form 4 + $200 tax stamp) and pass a background check. There are no additional state-level restrictions.
How long does ATF approval take?
Wait times vary but typically range from a few months to over a year depending on ATF volume. Electronic submissions through Silencer Shop's system tend to process faster than paper filings.
Can I use a trust instead of buying individually?
Absolutely. The Silencer Shop Single Shot Trust is a free NFA trust that allows you to add co-trustees, making it easy for family members to legally possess your NFA items. We can walk you through setting one up.
Do I need to bring anything for the fingerprints?
Just a valid government-issued photo ID. Our electronic fingerprint machine does the rest — no ink, no cards, no mess.
Can I order a suppressor that isn't in stock?
Yes. Through the Silencer Shop dealer network we can order virtually any suppressor they carry. Contact us and we'll help you find exactly what you're looking for.
