How to buy a Suppressor: Purchasing a Suppressor has never been easier. Whether buying from another website or ordering directly through C4 Armory, we will make the process easy. 2025 processing times are at an all time low. Trusts are currently processing in approximately 4-6 weeks and Individual applications are processing in 3-14 Days.
Please be sure to check your local laws on legal suppressor ownership prior to purchasing.
Buying from C4 Armory: All suppressors purchased through C4 Armory are ordered on an as-needed basis. We do not currently stock inventory. Payment is required at the time the order is placed. The ATF tax can be paid when the Form 4 is submitted. Once the suppressor is ordered, it typically arrives within 2 weeks, which is the standard time it takes for the ATF to process a Form 3 transfer. Once the suppressor arrives and is logged into our inventory, we will contact you to come in and complete your Form 4.
Buying from another SOT: Simply purchase your suppressor and have it sent to us on a Form 3, which usually takes about 2 weeks. A copy of our FFL/SOT can be downloaded here and sent to the seller or they can email us directly as Sales@c4armory to request it. Most sellers have us on file already.
What to expect:
Individual Applications: You will be required to have an existing ATF account setup and a valid .EFT Electronic Fingerprints File. We only submit electronically and do not submit paper forms. Once the suppressor is received we will log it into out books and inform you that you can come in to do your Form 4. Please do not show up without an appointment. On arrival, you will be required to pay the transfer fee, if you purchased from anyone other than C4 Armory. Once the Form 4 is complete and submitted, the waiting period begins and we will contact you once an approval is received. You will also receive an email from the ATF indication the approval.
Once the Form 4 is approved, you will be required to come back in, provide your valid photo identification, fill-out a form 4473 and then conduct an electronic background check for the Virginia State police. Once approved, you will be provided with a copy of your Form 4 and your suppressor will be transferred to you. No additional fees are incurred at this time.
