Class 3 Sales
Legal requirements
To legally purchase a silencer from Shooters of Columbus,
you must be at least 21 years of age, a resident of the
United States and the State of Georgia, and have no felony
record. The first step is to come into Shooters of Columbus,
purchase a product we have in stock, or place an order for
the silencer you wish.
We currently carry silencers manufactured by AAC, GemTech,
Surefire, Silencerco, Yankee Hill, C3 Defense and Tactical
Solutions.
Purchase Process - Individual
After the silencer is purchased, we will prepare duplicate
ATF Form 4's (this generally takes a day) and provide them
to you, with fingerprint cards and a citizenship
certification form.. The Form 4's must be filled out on both
sides, with passport photos of you affixed to the backside
of the form. You will then have the Chief Law-Enforcement
officer (usually the Sheriff in the county you reside in)
sign the rear of the Form 4's, attesting to your clean
record. The two fingerprint cards must be completed and
signed by the Sheriff’s office. The citizenship
certification sheet that is filled out AND signed by you. We
will provide you with a complete instruction sheet to assist
you in completing this process.
You then send the completed paperwork to the Department of
the Treasury with a check or money order for $200.00. Checks
are best, because you can determine exactly when ATF has
cashed your check and started your paperwork. Once the paper
work is submitted, it currently takes about 6 months to
receive the approved, stamped paperwork from the NFA Branch.
Once NFA branch forwards the approved form 4 to Shooters of
Columbus, you can take possession of your new suppressor.
Purchase Process - Trust or Corporations
The process is similar to the process for an individual,
except:
- there is no Law enforcement signoff required
- no passport photos are required
- no citizenship certification is required
Processing time is no different, and you must establish a
trust or corporation first, which generally requires an
attorney. |
