But typically Form 1 silencers are made by skilled hobbyist machinists trying out their skills or working on new inventions. As you can see, Form 1 lets you enter the world of NFA firearms ownership by building the weapon in the comfort of your own garage or, in the case of modular firearms, on your kitchen table.

How much is a Form 1 for a suppressor?

The cost to file an ATF Form 1 is always $200 per gun or device, regardless of what it is. You can pay with check, money order or credit/debit card. Naturally plastic processes faster than a personal check. $200 might seem steep, but that is the tax you'd have to pay on any NFA item other than AOW.

Do you need a Form 1 for each suppressor?

Yes, you will need to have a tax stamp for each silencer that you want to purchase / own. Each NFA firearm that you own as an individual or with your gun trust, corporation or other legal entity will require a tax stamp.
