Buying A Suppressor And Store Closes While Waiting on Tax Stamp

[turkeyfever]

Thinking about buying another can but what concerns me if store closes door while waiting for tax stamp.

I had that same concern myself, luckily stamp came in quickly at 5 1/2 months and got her done.

Buy from a reputable shop that has a large investment and several locations like Silencer Central.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO HANDLES TRANSFER IF A STORE CLOSES THERE DOOR?

ATF will contact you as part of their process for closing the store records. It will be transferred to another store to wait for your stamp approval. Expect a long wait between the store closing and the ATF contacting you.

Thank You

Had that happen. The store contacted the ATF and they rushed the paperwork through for the FFL and ended up getting suppressor back quicker

That was good customer service. I know of a store that did not give a single crap about their customers and even lied about submitting paperwork. Long story short, people were screwed out of money they spent and got no can. The ones that were actually filed, when approved, were transferred to a new store and customer picked up the can.

I bought two from a store that was closing this year. He worked out a deal with the ATF to expedite approvals... Got my two cans nine days after filling

Wouldn't have believed it if it didn't happen to me

I just got one at the 7 month mark for what's that worth. I'll know in 2 weeks if that's holding on another.

Just got one in 5 months. I really thought I had until spring to get a rifle setup to run a 338cal suppressed. I am still contemplating the conversion of a 300NMI to 338NMI with 22" barrel.

Two in the works from Silencer Central. Coming up on a year.

I had this issue when I bought a suppressor. Store closed and anything that was awaiting on a tax stamp the ATF stepped in and processed very fast when closing was announced. I believe there's a particular process followed when the FFL holder decides to close his store front. For me it all worked out for the best. I ended up getting my Can faster than I normally would've had the store stayed in business. I wouldn't be too concerned buying from a local business store front.
