Silencer and NFA ownership doesn’t have to be complicated. At Chapel Hill Guns & Ammo, we make the process clear, compliant, and easy—handling everything in-house from start to finish.

Whether you’re new to NFA items or already familiar with the process, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Silencers (also called suppressors) and certain firearms are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Common NFA items include:

• Silencers / Suppressors
• Short-Barreled Rifles (SBR)
• Short-Barreled Shotguns (SBS)
• Transferable Machine Guns

These items are legal to own in Michigan when purchased and registered properly.

Recent changes have removed the $200 federal tax stamp cost on all silencer purchases, making ownership more accessible than ever.

In addition, electronic ATF filing has helped streamline approvals, reducing paperwork and improving turnaround times compared to the past.

You won’t need to navigate forms or vendors on your own. We take care of everything right here:

• Silencer and NFA item selection guidance
• Digital fingerprints and passport photo
• ATF Form 4 electronic submission
• Individual or trust filing assistance
• Secure storage while awaiting approval

You’ll always know what’s happening and what comes next.

You can browse and purchase silencers online through our website at any time.

For local customers, we strongly recommend stopping by the shop first. An in-person conversation allows us to:

• Ensure proper firearm and mount compatibility
• Set realistic expectations for sound reduction
• Help you choose the right option the first time

Working with a local NFA dealer means personal support, fewer surprises, and long-term service after approval. We’re part of this community, and we stand behind every purchase.
