BATFE Suppressor Application

[claimbuster]

I am so green on this topic I don't even know the right questions to ask.

However, I am obsessed with the notion of owning a suppressed Ruger 10/22.

Has anyone here obtained a permit for a suppressor?

If so, did you use a NFA firearms trust? If yes, who set it up for you?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response.

Admittedly, I am a bit embarrassed that I didn't scroll down a little farther.

You don't get a permit by the way. It is just a tax stamp that allows you to possess the item.

You get a tax stamp on a form that must be carried with the device at all times. Certainly sounds like a permit to me. BTW, I have two of them. I went the Revocable Living Trust route and it was dirt simple. Used Quicken Willmaker, got it notarized, and had no hassle getting both a .22 can and a 30 caliber can. You buy the device from your dealer, fill out the form he gives you, add a copy of your certificate of trust, send it in to the BATFE with $200 and you get back the approved form with the cancelled stamp which you take to your dealer who duly records it and hands you your can. I scanned it and created a pdf, put the original in the safe and printed copies of the pdf to put in my gun bags.

A permit would allow you to have just one for all your toys wouldn't it?

I plan to use Quicken Willmaker myself.

sort of related, and not to hijack, but how long on average do suppressors last? im wondering if its worth the investment or not for me

[Irving]

The only time a suppressor should not last is if you get a baffle strike and damage it, or it fills up completely with lead (if it is a .22 can that you can't disassemble for cleaning).

Suppressors work exactly the same way as a car muffler does. There is really no reason it would wear out as there are no moving parts (not counting a neilsen device) and should never be contact between the suppressor and the round. Some suppressors used wipes, but if I remember correctly, the ATF has said that you can get new wipes without getting another stamp. Is that still correct?

a suppressor should last a very long time as long as you clean it and take care not to get a baffle strike.

read through the NFA section about trusts, lots of good viewpoints which route to go, you will have to choose for yourself what is best.
