Do you Need to Have your Gun Trust Notarized Before you Can Make a Silencer Shop Purchase?
When purchasing silencers or NFA firearms from Silencer Shop you don't need to have your gun trust notarized or created before you can purchase the NFA firearm. However, you will need to have your gun trust purchased, notarized and uploaded to your Silencer Shop account before Silencer Shop can complete and submit your ATF Form 4 paperwork to the ATF. This can be helpful if you find a silencer or NFA firearm on sale at Silencer Shop, you can order the silencer or NFA firearm and still add your gun trust to your order at a later time.
