What is an NFA Gun Trust? 🤔 Silencer Central provides a FREE NFA Trust with the purchase of each silencer. ✅ NFA trusts allow you to add unlimited co-trustees to also use your silencers or other NFA items. ✅ Trusts ensure the next generation inherits your suppressor. ✅ We keep on file for future purchases. ✅ We help ensure you complete the 20+ page gun trust correctly so the ATF does not reject. We have completed over 15,000 silencer to gun trust transfers and counting! #silencercentral
