Your silencer is shipped to your front door as soon as all federal requirements have been met. Once your order leaves our licensed location in your state, it is delivered to you within 3-5 business days. Please note: adult signature is required at delivery.

Silencer Central orders are shipped from each of our licensed locations throughout the United States.  An adult signature is required
at the time of delivery.

Once we have received your approval from the ATF, we will send you an email and a text message informing you of the next steps to have your silencer(s) shipped to your front door:

1. You will need to complete and sign the ATF form 4473. This is a federally required form that allows us to transfer ownership of your silencer(s) to you. We will first send you a link via email to complete the form electronically, then you will receive a second email to review and sign the document.
2. Next, we are required to send a notification via certified mail to the chief law enforcement officer in your jurisdiction, letting them know we will be shipping your silencer(s) to you. Once we receive confirmation this notification has been received, the chief law enforcement officer has seven days to respond. We cannot ship until after the seven days has passed.
3. You will receive two shipping notifications and two tracking numbers. The first tracking number tracks your shipment from us to our licensed location in your state and the second tracking number will go live as soon as your shipment is on its way to your front door. Please note: Adult signature is required at the time of delivery.

One of the most significant benefits of working with Silencer Central is that we manage your entire buying process and submit your paperwork quickly so the ATF can begin the approval process. Of course, the time for ATF approval following our processing may fluctuate depending upon demand placed on the ATF. Visit NFA-Status to see how fast approvals are arriving.
