I may have missed posts about this but someone please enlighten me on the laws !! Is there still a fee for them in Arkansas or can you just walk in and buy one or two ?? I’m not up to date on this stuff so any information would be appreciated thank you

Fed tax goes from $200 to $0 on Jan 1 but still have to jump
thru all.the hoops.
Wait is SHORT right now, couple days, but may increase with a glut of applications on Jan 1, trying to.save the $200.
My FFL is letting folks layaway them, then submit first of year.

Should have been done away with entirely, next Congress can.increase tax to.$5000 as some have stated they will

K thanks

wait gets longer with every day the Gov is closed

I put in papers the day before the shut down

all the papers are still the same , I call it papers , I bought my suppressor from silencer shop they have a kiosk at a local store so no actual paper has been touched, I ordered the suppressor , then that prompted me to make an ATF account then when I had that I went to the kiosk where they helped me with the finger print and photo process.

when I get my tax stamp verification then it will be a day or tow till I can go pick up my suppressor

I did pay the 200 , I calculated the risk the sale that was on vs demand on Jan 2 I think I will be even up $ wise.

The process is still the same as it always has been other than the ability to use e fourms vs sending in paper fourms.

Location does not mater the Federal tax is still $200 untill Jan 1. After Jan 1 you still have to fill out the Federal forms and wait on approval BUT there will be no tax paid. It will not be a walk in and walk out after phone call approval like buying a gun. At least not yet.



Since the only way the NFA was seen as constitutional was it fell under the power to tax. Now that there is no tax there are several lawsuits working through tying to get most of the NFA eliminated.

So wait tell Jan1 and save $200 tax BUT I expect thousands will do that and back upper and even crash the system bringing wait time back uo to months to a year and many suppressors will all be sold out on back order and prices go up. Just my guess.

So I ate the 200nand sent one off in September got it back in 13 days and my 15 year old was able to use it to shoot 2 deer the end of September yout hunt. If you want it back fast may want to eat the 200 and get it sent in.

I also have another one paid for but im waiting on Jan 1 becuse im in no hurry to get it in my hand un like my rush so my son could have a can for his deer gun befor season so the 200 was worth it to me.

Buy from Silencer Central in Sioux Falls, Sd. They take care of the $200 Tax Stamp and do all the paperwork for you.

And they’re fast!

No one is fast with the GOV shut down
my stuff was all in 10/1/25
they were averaging 10 days when I put it in and the Gov shot down the next day
