Silencers and Other NFA Firearms at OnPoint

If you’re new to silencers or other NFA (National Firearms Act) items, you may think the process is complicated, intimidating, or time-consuming. The reality is much simpler. At OnPoint, we guide you through every step to make the process as smooth as possible.

Step 1: Find the Right Silencer for You
Start by researching and selecting the silencer that best fits your needs. When you complete your purchase, you will need to designate OnPoint as the receiving FFL/SOT for the transfer.

This portion of the process is handled like a standard firearm transfer. For full details, please review our transfer policies here:

Step 2: Let Us Handle the Paperwork
Once your silencer arrives at OnPoint and is logged into our system, we will contact you to schedule your ATF Form 4 appointment to begin the tax stamp process.

While a federal tax stamp is still required, you no longer have to pay the $200 tax stamp fee. https://www.atf.gov/firearms

Before your appointment, you must create an ATF eForms account:
https://eforms.atf.gov/register/update-profile?isRegistration=true

During setup, the ATF will assign you a username (this is not your email), and you will create a four-digit PIN. Please bring both to your appointment.

If you purchased your silencer through Silencer Shop, you must complete your fingerprints and photo using the Silencer Shop kiosk at OnPoint prior to your appointment. You must also ensure that your personal information in your Silencer Shop account exactly matches your ATF eForms account. Even small discrepancies, such as spacing differences, can cause submission errors.

If you are not using the Silencer Shop kiosk, you will need electronic fingerprints in .EFT format. We recommend PrintScan (https://printscan.com/) as a reliable option. These fingerprints can be reused for future NFA purchases.

You will also need to email your .EFT file and a passport-style photo (JPEG format, under 3MB) to orders@aimonpoint.com before your appointment.

If you would like us to use your existing Silencer Shop profile for a silencer not purchased through Silencer Shop, please notify us in advance. A $100 processing fee applies for this service, in addition to the standard $75 transfer fee.

Once everything is prepared, your certification appointment will take approximately 20–30 minutes, assuming no technical issues.

Step 3: Wait for Your Tax Stamp Approval
After submission, we will provide an estimated wait time. You will receive your tax stamp approval via email directly from the ATF.

Once approved, print your tax stamp and bring it to OnPoint along with a valid government-issued ID.

At that time, you will complete ATF Form 4473 (the same form used for standard firearm purchases) and pay the $75 transfer fee. If your silencer was purchased through Silencer Shop, the transfer fee is waived.
