All the following information is accurate and reflects ATF resources as of 9/1/2017
The NFA was originally enacted in 1934. Title II of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968 amended the NFA to cure a constitutional flaw and amended a few NFA definitions. In 1986, the Firearm Owner's Protection Act amended the NFA definition of "silencer" and the GCA to prohibit certain machine gun transfers or possession. Please refer to the ATF's website for additional information and FAQs: https://www.atf.gov/qa-category/national-firearms-act-nfa
As of January 1, 2026, NFA-regulated items, including suppressors (silencers), short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and any other weapons (AOWs), no longer require the $200 tax stamp due to the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB) under Section 70436. While the tax fee for these has been eliminated, the full NFA application process—including ATF Form 1 or Form 4, fingerprints, passport-style photos, background checks, and registration—still applies. In addition, Machine guns and destructive devices (DDs) still require the $200 tax stamp under the National Firearms Act (NFA).
Still require the form and $200 tax stamp under the National Firearms Act (NFA):
- - Machine guns
- - Destructive devices (DDs)
Still require the form BUT NOT subject to the $200 tax stamp:
- - Suppressors (silencers)
- - Short-barreled rifles (SBRs)
- - Short-barreled shotguns (SBSs)
- - Any other weapons (AOWs)
- There is a $200 transfer tax on machine guns and Destructive devices. The full ATF application process remains mandatory.
- There is no transfer tax on Suppressors/Silencers, SBRs, SBSs and AOWs, however the full ATF application process remains mandatory.
The full application process is digital and includes:
Fingerprint submission
Passport-sized photo
- Approval from the ATF
The time required to process an NFA application depends upon many factors including the particular ATF form used, the volume of forms submitted from throughout the country, any errors on forms, and complexities with background checks or the legal status of corporations, trusts or other legal entities.
Commonly ownership is in the name of an individual or trust, however partnership, company, association, estate, or corporation ownership may be a consideration. We'll be happy to refer you to a local attorney who specializes in NFA law.
- A person may make an NFA firearm by filing and receiving an approved ATF Form 1 Application to Make and Register a Firearm.
- Applications to make or transfer a firearm will not be approved if Federal, State, or local law prohibits the making or possession of the firearm.
- A person may transfer an NFA firearm to another person by filing and receiving an approved ATF Form 4, Application for Tax Paid Transfer and Registration of Firearm. This is also known as ATF Form 5320.4. In addition to completing the form, you need to provide the required documents for Individual filing OR Trust/Corporation filing
