We know that Trump’s supported Big Beautiful Bill was passed and signed. As for the immediate impact on suppressors we see none. There is a great selection of inventory available, right now and many companies are offering free tax stamps. What we know will happen down the road….
January 1, the $200 fee goes away. The paperwork will still be necessary, but the fee is gone. What will happen is the inventory will start drying up and the selection will be minimal. When the ATF started speeding up stamps we were in a spot that if we could order 1 or 2 suppressors a week we were lucky. We were averaging 6-7 in stock at any one time. As the fee disapears, we can put money that this will happen. We will see the first rush of people buying a suppressor for the first time. The second problem this will cause will be a delay in paperwork as it will be a mad rush for suppressors to find new homes. I am afraid the delay could go back to months instead of days. If this happens, your nice new can might still be sitting for a while.
We Have Options:
Option 1 – Buy your suppressor now, and leave it in our safe. We will transmit forms starting January 1 in order that the suppressors were purchased. We will be open and in the shop on January 1 to take care of this for anyone that chooses this service. This will allow you the best selection of cans, and still avoid the fee.
Option 2 – Find a suppressor you like that has a free stamp with it. This will allow you to process it now and avoid the wait times, as well as avoid paying the $200 fee. Many supprssors have a free stamp, if you want one with a free stamp, just ask us what we can get in. We are happy to order anything that you are looking for that would include that. Sometimes it may be a $200 discount off of the price,sometimes they will post as a free stamp.
At Red Hill Tactical, we are thinking through solutions to what we see is coming as quickly as we can. Just shoot us an email and ask anytime.
