Federal law allows sales of long guns to persons 18 or older, and of handguns to persons 21 or older. We are currently working on the technical ability to allow both age restrictions to be applied appropriately, but until that capability is in place, we are forced to place an age restriction of 21 on all firearm sales. We hope to have this fixed soon.

Once an order is placed, we are unable to change, edit or cancel an existing order. 

If you purchased a firearm, this means we are waiting on the supplier of your gun to confirm that they still have the inventory available.

If we are unable to fulfill your order immediately, we will find another source or refund your money in full if we cannot find an exact substitute in a timely manner.

To make an offer, simply click the "Make an Offer" button on a used gun listing if it appears. Then, enter the amount you'd like to offer and click submit.

The seller will then have 24 business hours to consider your offer (and any others they may have received on that gun) and either accept, decline, or make a counteroffer. If they make a counteroffer, you will have the opportunity to accept or decline.

You will only be allowed to make a single counteroffer, after which you will not be allowed to negotiate on that item for 30 days.

Yes, if you live in a state that permits suppressor ownership under federal law. The basic requirements include: 

• Being at least 21 years old
• Living in a state where ownership is allowed
• Having no felony convictions

Buying a silencer online is simple with Guns.com. Just follow these four steps:

1. Purchase a suppressor on Guns.com.
2. The suppressor will ship to the NFA FFL you select. 
3. Complete necessary paperwork at the NFA FFL. 
4. Once approved, you can pick up the suppressor from the NFA FFL.  

This straightforward process applies to anyone living in the 42 states where silencers are legal.

To legally own a silencer, you must be at least 21 years old, reside in a state that allows suppressor ownership, and have no felony convictions. Starting January 1, 2026, the tax on NFA items is $0 when completing a Form 4 application for silencers. 

To check the status of your ATF transfer, call the NFA Branch at (304) 616-4500. You’ll need to provide your name (or the name of your trust or corporation), the suppressor’s serial number, and the name of the transferor (as listed in your confirmation email). The ATF can give an estimated approval time, but keep in mind that this timing can vary. If your application was submitted on paper, approval might take 2-4 weeks to be mailed to us. We’ll notify you as soon as we receive it so you can pick up your suppressor.

eForm 4 suppressor approvals are now taking just a few days for both individual and standardized trust submissions, marking historically fast approval times.

The following states permit private ownership of silencers: AL, AR, AK, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, ND, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY. Note that some restrictions may apply, such as in Vermont, where suppressors can only be used for hunting after July 1, 2020. In California, silencer ownership may be allowed for those with a valid FFL. Please note, Guns.com does not ship silencers to the following states, no matter the legality: CA, CT, DE, HI, IL, MA, NY, NJ, RI.

No, you don't need a "Class 3" license to own a silencer. However, you do need to pay for a one-time tax stamp when purchasing the suppressor, similar to a sales tax. There are no ongoing fees or licenses required after this initial tax.

No, owning a silencer does not cause you to lose any rights, nor does it mean the ATF will conduct random searches of your home. This concern often stems from a misunderstanding about needing a "Class 3" license, which only applies to dealers, not buyers.

Currently, suppressor approvals are taking only a few days for both trust and individual submissions. For the latest approval times, check out our ATF Wait Time Tracker. Contact us if you have specific questions about the purchasing or registration process for silencers.

The local NFA FFL you select during checkout will help you complete all the necessary regulatory paperwork to legally own your new suppressor. How to Buy a Suppressor Online

Yes, you can use one silencer with multiple firearms as long as each firearm has the appropriate threading to attach the silencer, and the firearm's caliber is compatible with the silencer.

Yes, a larger caliber silencer can be used with smaller caliber firearms if you have the correct adapters. While not as efficient as a silencer made specifically for the smaller caliber, it still provides significant sound reduction.

There is no difference; the terms are interchangeable. "Silencer" is the legal term, while "suppressor" or "sound suppressor" is more technically accurate since these devices don't completely silence a firearm but reduce the noise.

The noise level of a suppressed firearm varies based on the firearm and the suppressor used. Generally, it will be as quiet as using high-quality hearing protection. For the quietest experience, consider starting with .22 LR suppressors.

The attachment method depends on the firearm and the silencer. Common methods include:

• Threading directly onto a threaded barrel
• Using a quick-detach device, such as a flash hider, muzzle brake, or piston
• Integral suppressors built into the firearm

Once your gun is received by Guns.com, our staff will inspect it for condition and functionality; upon inspection approval, your payment will be sent.

• Gift card payments are instantly added to your Guns.com customer account upon approved inspection. Gift cards saved to your customer account will automatically show as a payment option at checkout.
• Direct deposits are usually processed within 1 business day of your approved firearm inspection. Depending on your financial institution, your payment could take 2-3 days to post in your bank account.
• Check payments are generally mailed within 3 business days of approved inspections. Once your check is mailed, please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery. 

You can choose to receive your payment via direct deposit into your bank account, by receiving a physical check in the mail, or via a Guns.com eGift card (which comes with a special bonus!).

We will send you an email that contains a special 16 digit card number and PIN number to use on Guns.com checkout. Guns.com eGift card is only redeemable at Guns.com and is non-refundable.

Once you accept our offer, we will send you a pre-paid shipping label and step-by-step shipping instructions immediately. Prior to shipping, please ensure the firearm is unloaded and do not ship any ammunition. Guns.com will deduct a handling fee from the offer amount if ammo is shipped with the firearm.  

There are two shipping options you can choose from:

• You can use your own shipping & packing materials. Any recycled cardboard box or shipping box will work. This is the quickest shipping option to select as you do not have to wait to receive a box from Guns.com. 
• You can chose to have Guns.com send you a box to use for shipping. 

Before packing your firearm into a box, securely wrap the firearm in bubble wrap or other suitable material, and wrap any accessories separately with bubble wrap. Then add bubble wrap or other material to ensure both the firearm and accessories pass the “shake test”. Not sure what the shake test is? Click here to read full shipping instructions. Once the firearm is securely packaged inside the box, please be sure to seal properly.

If you choose to use your own box, please make sure the box used has no labeling or other shipping indicators visible. Also check that your packaging/box doesn’t have any hazardous material indicators on it.

Our full Shipping Guide houses full shipping instructions and a video on how to ship your firearm.
