Before having a silencer
…. and after!
YES! You may legally own a silencer!
YES! You may legally hunt with a silencer!
YES! Mankato Guns sells silencers and works with you to get the paperwork processed.
The two biggest hiccups are: 1-Silencers require a $200 tax stamp to be transferred to you and 2-it takes days to weeks for the ATF to approve the transfer. To simplify the process Mankato Guns has coupled with Silencer Shop.
So there are three basic ways to buy a silencer
- From Silencer Shop
- From Mankato Guns
- From another seller using Mankato Guns to facilitate the transfer
1-From Silencer Shop
This is a streamlined process and there are no transfer fees in addition to the NFA tax stamp.
Steps involved:
- Buy your silencer at Silencer Shop and pay the transfer tax ($200 for silencers, $5 for short barrelled rifles and/or shotguns)
- Register at Silencer Shop
- We will walk you through the rest of the paperwork and fingerprints.
2-From Mankato Guns
Steps involved:
- Buy your silencer from Mankato Guns.
- We will walk you through the paperwork, eforms site and digital fingerprints.
3- Buy from another seller using Mankato Guns to facilitate the transfer
Since Mankato Guns is acting as a transfer agent for the seller, we charge a $75 transfer fee.
Steps involved:
- Buy your silencer and have it shipped to Mankato Guns.
- We will walk you through the digital fingerprints and eforms certification.
- Once your final approval is received we will call you to come pick up your silencer at Mankato Guns. You are expected to pay the $75 transfer fee at time of pick up.
