Why Own a Silencer?

Silencers are legal to own in Washington state and 36 other states.

There are a handful of reasons to own a silencer:

  • Protect your hearing
  • Reduce recoil by 20-30%
  • Hunting
  • Teaching new shooters
  • Having fun

How to Purchase  Tax Stamp and Submit an eForm 4

 

Step 1: Create a Silencer Shop Account if you do not already have one.

View Silencer Shop

  1. Go to silencershop.com and create an account (or just log in if you already have an account). Use your full legal name and an email address that you will also use for creating your A.T.F. E-forms account.
  2. Download the Silencer Shop app on your phone if you don't already have it. (iOs, Android)
  3. Head to the Silencer Shop kiosk located in West Coast Armory's showroom.

  5. Check your email for a QR code and hold it to the kiosk camera.

  7. Use the Silencer Shop mobile app to upload an ID-style portrait to your account. This is the only step that you will use the app for.
  8. On Silencershop.com, purchase a tax stamp.
  9. If filing under a trust, you may purchase a trust from Silencer Shop or upload your own. Ignore this step if you are not purchasing your silencer under a trust.

 

Step 2: Create an A.T.F. E-forms Account if you do not already have one.

  1. Go to eforms.atf.gov and create an account using the same full legal name and email as you used for the Silencer Shop account.
  2. Create a 4-digit pin, don't forget it!
  3. You will receive an email issuing you a username. 

 

Step 3: Sign your E-forms.

  1. In a few days, you will receive an email from Silencer Shop requesting that you digitally sign your E-form. Go ahead and sign it.
  2. Ignore the second email from Silencer Shop asking you to contact your FFL to certify your E-form. The West Coast Armory Administrator will also receive that email and will contact you to schedule your form certification.

 

Step 4: Schedule and complete your certification process.

  1. Reply to the West Coast Armory Admin to schedule your certification process.
  2. You can come into West Coast Armory to complete the certification process, or do it over the phone. Allocate at least 20 minutes to complete this step. 

 

Step 5: Wait!

  1. It is currently taking 9 months (give or take) for the A.T.F. to issue tax stamp approvals. You will receive the approval to the email address on file with the A.T.F. E-Forms account. 
  2. Wait for the West Coast Armory Administrator to reach out to you. As soon as the silencer is paired with your approval we will call you at the number we have on file for your purchase.

 

Step 6: Pick up your new silencer.

  1. Once you have received word from the West Coast Armory Administrator that your silencer is ready, you can come pick it up. If you filed under a trust, be sure to bring a copy of the trust with you.
  2. Your trust can be printed from the Silencer Shop website.
