NFA process

Buying a suppressor

Suppressors are National Firearms Act (NFA) items. The outline below is general information only, not legal advice. Always verify current ATF rules, as well as Texas and local requirements, before starting a purchase — regulations and wait times change.

  1. Confirm eligibility and legality

    You must be legally able to possess the item where you live and where you will take possession. Merc Arms cannot complete a transfer that would violate federal, state, or local law.

  2. Select an item and start the paperwork

    After you reserve an item with us, the transfer is typically submitted on ATF Form 4 (Application for Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of Firearm), often through ATF eForms when available, or on paper if required.

  3. Tax stamp, photos, and fingerprints

    NFA transfers generally require payment of the federal tax stamp, photographs, and fingerprints, along with any other materials ATF currently requires for individual or entity applicants (for example, a trust).

  4. Background check and ATF review

    ATF reviews the application and conducts a background check. Approval times vary. We will contact you when the approved form is in hand.

  5. Pickup

    Once approved, you pick up the item in person at our shop with valid identification and any remaining in-store paperwork.
