Lee County Firearms is an NFA "Class 3" Dealer. We sell NFA Class 3 items (such as silencers) and can assist in the
purchase and or transfer of these items.
With respect to silencers, Lee County Firearms is an authorized dealer for Silencer Shop and has a Silencer Shop
kiosk on premises to facilitate the purchase of silencers. The Silencer Shop kiosk makes the process easier than
the "old school" method of manual fingerprints and paper ATF Forms.
To take advantage of the Silencer Shop kiosk simplified purchase process, please read and perform the following instructions:
| 1) | Create a Silencer Shop user account and an ATF E-Forms account. This can be done online with the links below. You can also create a Silencer Shop account in-store at the kiosk. Click here to go to the ATF E-Forms website. Click here to go to Silencer Shop's website.
|
| 2) | When registering for your ATF E-Forms account, your email, full name, and address MUST match your Silencer Shop profile information exactly! |
| 3) | Visit us at Lee County Firearms in store to complete your Silencer Shop Profile using the kiosk. This will involve answering several questions and taking electronic fingerprints. You will also want to download the Silencer Shop app on your mobile phone and use that app to upload a "passport format" picture of yourself. |
| 4) | Silencer Shop will email a document to you with all of your relevant information. Please review all of the information for accuracy and digitally sign the file from your computer or mobile device. |
With the aforementioned steps out of the way, you can now proceed with the selecting and purchasing the silencer you're looking for!
Once you decide on the silencer you wish to purchase (whether it's already on site at Lee County Firearms or it's something we order for you), you will pay for
the silencer and purchase the necessary NFA Tax Stamp. A Tax Stamp is required to be paid per silencer and costs $200. It can be purchased via the
Silencer Shop App or by logging into your Silencer Shop accout on your PC or mobile device. Note that multiple Tax Stamps can be pre-purchased
and then applied to items later.
Once the make, model, brand, and serial number for the specified silencer being purchased is known, the final step of preparing, certifying, and
submitting the associated ATF "Form 4" can be performed. These activities take 30 to 45 minutes during normal business hours (Tuesday to Friday).
Now...
WE WAIT ON UNCLE SAM. 🙁
After your 2
nd Amendment freedoms have been infringed upon long enough and you receive your Tax Stamp, the final step is to document the
official transfer of the silencer from Lee County Firearms to you the customer via ATF Form 4473.
CONGRATULATIONS! Now it's time to take your new silencer home and make some noise! Well, a lot less noise!
