Expedited shipping options may be available for non-NFA items at checkout.

NFA-regulated items follow standard transfer procedures and timelines.

Suppressors are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and must be shipped to a licensed FFL/SOT dealer.

  • We transfer the suppressor to your selected dealer using ATF Form 3
  • Your dealer assists you with ATF Form 4 paperwork
  • The suppressor can only be released to you after ATF approval

Suppressor purchase process/First time suppressor buyers

How does the purchase process work?
  1. Purchase your suppressor and select a transferring FFL/SOT dealer
  2. We submit a Form 3 to transfer the suppressor to your dealer
  3. Your dealer receives the suppressor and assists you with Form 4 paperwork
  4. You submit fingerprints, photo, and required documentation
  5. After ATF approval, you may take possession from your dealer

 

 
 
  1. Order Confirmation
    You’ll receive an order confirmation and we begin preparing your transfer.
  2. Form 3 Submission (Dealer Transfer)
    We submit an ATF Form 3 to transfer the suppressor to your selected dealer.
  3. Shipment to Your Dealer
    Once approved, we ship the suppressor to your dealer.
  4. Form 4 Submission (Your Application)
    Your dealer will contact you to complete ATF Form 4 paperwork, including fingerprints and photo.
  5. ATF Approval Wait
    Approval times vary. For the most current estimates, please refer to:
    👉 https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/current-processing-times
  6. Pickup
    Once approved, your dealer will notify you. You may then complete a standard 4473 and take possession.

Processing times are determined by the ATF and can change. Please see this page for current estimates.

Orders may be canceled prior to Form 3 submission. Once submitted, the order is considered in process and may not be canceled.

Changes may be possible before Form 3 submission. Once submitted, the transfer is locked to the selected dealer.

No special license is required for individuals. You must:

  • Be legally eligible to own firearms
  • Complete ATF Form 4

A tax stamp is a federal tax associated with NFA items. Think of this as your written permission to own the item.

Tax requirements are set by federal law and may change. As of 2026, the tax for suppressors was lowered to $0, however the stamp must still be acquired before possession. Please confirm current requirements at the time of purchase or during your Form 4 submission.

Individual

  • Simpler process
  • Only you may possess the suppressor

Trust

  • Allows multiple responsible persons
  • Requires additional documentation

Yes. All Form 4 submissions require fingerprints and a passport-style photo. Your dealer will typically assist with this process.

No. You must wait for ATF approval before taking possession.

Suppressors can generally be transported across state lines if they are legal in both locations. Always verify local laws before traveling.

Suppressor FAQ

What is the suppressor made of?

FTW-Arms covers defects in materials and workmanship for 90 days from Form 4 approval, provided the product is registered within the required timeframe.

Our suppressors use a hybrid construction of carbon fiber–reinforced polyphthalamide (PPA-CF) and aluminum components. This high-temperature engineering polymer is selected for its strength, heat resistance, and chemical stability.

 

 
 

PPA-CF offers higher heat resistance, improved stiffness, and better chemical stability than PA6-CF, while also being less susceptible to moisture-related dimensional changes.

Our suppressors build on design concepts introduced in the FTN platform, with modifications for commercial use. This includes hybrid construction with an aluminum blast chamber and other refinements for durability and consistency. This isn’t some rip-off of the FTN. It is the commercial evolution of the FTN, designed by the FTN Team with the explicit goal of bringing cheap suppressors to the mainstream, and putting suppressors into common use.

No. These suppressors can survive short bursts of full auto, but because this heavy duty cycle will dramatically shorten the life of your suppressor, we decided not to rate it for full auto.

The slanted K baffle shape is specifically designed to tolerate high amounts of heat. When taken above the “Heat Deflection Temperature”, it still retains the shape and continues to function, and then rehardens in the same shape when cooled

Yes it can be used on pistol barrels.

These suppressors are rated for .22LR only. Use with any other caliber is not supported, will void your warranty, and may cause catastrophic failure.

No. This is a sealed design and is not intended to be disassembled by the end user.

We focus on efficient design and modern manufacturing methods to reduce unnecessary cost. By leveraging advanced materials and streamlined production, we are able to offer a functional, purpose-built suppressor at a lower price point without adding features that don’t meaningfully improve performance for the intended use.

A lot of time and money goes into maintaining an FFL, so based on all operating costs (not just raw materials) this price point was the best balance between being affordable and running a business.

Traditional suppressors are typically machined entirely from metal and designed for long service life across a wide range of calibers.

Our approach is different:

  • Optimized specifically for .22LR
  • Hybrid construction using advanced polymer and aluminum
  • Lightweight and cost-efficient
  • Designed as a practical, accessible solution rather than a lifetime, multi-caliber suppressor

Warranty

What is covered under the warranty?
  • The following are not covered:

    • Use outside rated specifications
    • Improper use, abuse, or neglect
    • Full auto fire or use with forced reset triggers
    • End cap strikes caused by:
      • improper alignment
      • unstable projectiles
      • host firearm issues
    • Normal wear, including:
      • erosion
      • gas cutting
      • internal degradation
    • Unauthorized modifications
    • Use of incompatible ammunition

    These suppressors are consumable components and will degrade over time.

  • No.

    Strikes are typically caused by:

    • host alignment issues
    • ammunition instability
    • improper mounting

     

    These are not considered defects in materials or workmanship.

  • No.

     

    Erosion, gas cutting, and internal wear are expected during normal use.

  • Submit the product registration form within 10 days of Form 4 approval.

    Late registrations may result in limited coverage.

  • Email [email protected] with:

    • Serial number
    • Description of the issue
    • Photos (required)
    • Video (if applicable)

    Do not ship any product without approval.

  • Unapproved returns may be:

    • refused
    • returned at your expense
    • or disposed of

Maintenance & Cleaning

How can I clean my suppressor?

Cleaning should be performed using an ultrasonic cleaner with a pH-neutral solution.

Safe options include:

  • Simple Green Aircraft & Precision Cleaner
  • Diluted dish detergent
  • Jewelry ultrasonic cleaning solutions

Always confirm the solution is safe for aluminum.

  • Do not use the following, as they may damage the suppressor:

    • ❌Sodium hydroxide / lye (strong alkaline cleaners)
    • ❌Standard Simple Green (non-aircraft formula)
    • ❌Heavy-duty alkaline or “purple” degreasers
    • ❌Vinegar or acidic cleaners

    If a cleaner does not explicitly state it is safe for aluminum, do not use it.
