ATF eForm 4 Transferee Necessity Statement for Silencers
When applying for a tax stamp using the ATF eForm 4, you will need to “state a reasonable necessity to possess the machinegun, short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or destructive device.” But is that true about silencers? When applying using the ATF eForm 4 the transferee necessity statement will be greyed out when a silencer is selected. This is because silencers don’t require the transferee necessity statement to be completed, much like the ATF Form 4.
