Class 3 NFA Items (Silencers, SBRs, etc.)
Huntin' Fool is now a Class 3 NFA Firearms Dealer. Silencers (suppressors) can only be sold and transferred from our shop to Utah residents over the age of 21. Silencers are allowed for hunting purposes in all US states except for California, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington D.C. Many international destinations allow the use of silencers for hunting. Silencers are not allowed for hunting in Canada or Mexico. Check with your travel agent and airlines to make sure you can travel to your destination and use your silencer.
Part 1, Option A : Purchase your silencer through the Huntin' Fool online store
We sell silencers, short-barreled rifles, and more through our online website at SilencerShop. Simply select your silencer(s), add an NFA Single Shot Gun Trust for $24.95 and place the order. SilencerShop will send your order directly to our location. NO transfer fees will be charged for anything ordered from our online store. Remember, there is no longer a $200 tax stamp per NFA item. If you have an established trust that you would like to use, please indicate in your Silencer Shop account as we use their services for all Form 4 submissions. Once the Form 3 has been approved by the ATF, Silencer Shop can send the silencer to Huntin' Fool. This begins the process of getting it approved for you to take home.
Part 1, Option B : Purchase your silencer through a third party with Huntin' Fool as the FFL dealer
Silencers or other NFA items ordered elsewhere (direct from manufacturers, distributors, etc.) are subject to a $50 transfer fee per item, in addition to the trust setup fee through SilencerShop. Manual submission of eForms to the ATF are not available at our shop. You must still create a Silencer Shop account to help with the Form 4 submission process. If you have purchased or would like to purchase a Class 3 Item (Silencer, etc.) from another location and have it transferred to us for final processing, we may assist you as well.
Once the Form 3 has been approved by the ATF, the manufacturer can send the silencer to Huntin' Fool. This begins the process of getting it approved for you to take home.
Part 2 : Complete Registration, Certify, and Submit eForm 4
At least 2 visits to our location are required to obtain a Silencer. As of March 2026, the total process from payment to approved silencer transfer is approximately 4 weeks.
- 1st visit - Kiosk
- After completing your registration information, purchasing your silencer, and setting up your SilencerShop.com account, it's time to visit our kiosk. At this visit you will use the SilencerShop touchscreen kiosk to capture your signature and digital fingerprints. Our location is open 9am - 5pm Monday - Friday.
- 2nd visit - Certification (can be done remotely)
- Once your eForm has been prepared and is ready to submit to the ATF, you will receive a notification email that says "Ready to Certify". You will need your eforms.atf.gov username and PIN number. This is a separate account from your SilencerShop account. This certification session can also be joined remotely using a phone or computer. We (the dealer) must join the session at the same time to certify and submit.
- 3rd visit - Transfer
- After your Form 4 has been approved, it's time to come to the shop for the final transfer of the NFA item. You will need your photo ID to complete a basic 4473 digital form, the same form required when you purchase a firearm. Only then you may take the silencer home!
