So, You Want to Purchase a Suppressor?… Sweet! Here is How You Do It

[Talyn]

According to the ATF, the current lead time on processing the paperwork to buy a suppressor is about 270 days. That’s 38 weeks, or almost 10 months. Ouch. Indeed, buying a suppressor is a matter of patience. But, thankfully, the paperwork you need to fill out to own a suppressor is once-and-done. Once your application to buy a suppressor’s approved, you never need to renew any application, or pay any fees ever again (for that specific suppressor).

They do not mention if you file as an Individual, and you pass away, your NFA item cannot be passed on to a family member.
Let the family have fun with the ATF when you die… good luck with that.
The trust is worth it

Trust is absolutely the way to go, you're right about that! The wait is now about half of what the article says, 5-6 months.

One major thing that makes the wait almost bearable is to have the suppressor as a lay-away at a range, so you can use it at will while at the range instead of it being in limbo until ATF sends the approval. Not the same has having it in hand, but at least it's not 100% dead money for months.

I use Silencershop for my suppressors BTW, they do a decent job.
