Going through the steps of my first NFA item!

[ipleadda2nd]

After wanting a suppressor (aka silencer) for many years I finally took the plunge. I researched extensively on the process a few years back. I got refreshed and started the process.

This is my first Title II NFA firearm. I chose the individual route. My plan is to take you step-by-step. This thread will probably be 6 months in the making since the ATF is pretty busy.

Product: Silencerco Osprey .45 Suppressor
