What is the National Firearms Act (NFA)?

The National Firearms Act (NFA) was enacted in 1934 and imposes regulations on certain types of firearms and accessories. The primary aim of the NFA is to control the ownership and transfer of specific weapons that are deemed more dangerous than standard firearms. To legally own or transfer an NFA-regulated item, individuals must comply with a series of federal requirements.

Types of NFA-Regulated Items

Our NFA category includes a variety of regulated items designed for unique performance and advanced capabilities. Below are some of the primary types of NFA-regulated firearms and accessories we offer:

Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs)

Short-barreled rifles, also known as SBRs, are rifles with a barrel length of less than 16 inches. SBRs offer increased maneuverability and are often favored by tactical enthusiasts and collectors. Despite their advantages, they are heavily regulated and require compliance with NFA protocols.

Short-Barreled Shotguns (SBSs)

Short-barreled shotguns, or SBSs, feature a barrel length of less than 18 inches. Known for their compact size and powerful performance, SBSs are popular among those seeking advanced close-quarters capabilities. As with SBRs, ownership and transfer of SBSs require adherence to NFA regulations.

Suppressors

Suppressors, commonly referred to as silencers, are devices attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm that reduce the noise and muzzle flash generated when firing. Suppressors offer a variety of benefits, including hearing protection and improved shooting accuracy. These accessories are strictly regulated under the NFA.

Compliance with NFA Regulations

Owning or transferring NFA-regulated items involves a detailed process to ensure compliance with federal laws. Here are the essential steps individuals must follow:

Registration

All NFA-regulated items must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This involves submitting an application, fingerprint cards, and photographs, along with the appropriate tax payment.

Background Checks

Potential owners must undergo a comprehensive background check to ensure they are legally eligible to possess an NFA-regulated item. This includes verifying the absence of any disqualifying criminal history or mental health issues.

Tax Stamp

A tax stamp must be obtained for each NFA item. The cost is typically $200 for most items, though some transfers may incur a $5 tax. The tax stamp serves as proof of legal registration and compliance.

Why Choose NFA-Regulated Items?

Collectors and enthusiasts opt for NFA-regulated firearms and accessories for several reasons:

  • Advanced Performance: NFA items often offer enhanced capabilities and specialized performance attributes.
  • Unique Attributes: Many NFA-regulated items are unique and cater to specific needs or preferences within the firearms community.
  • Collector’s Value: Due to their regulated status and unique characteristics, NFA items often hold significant value for collectors.
