Flow Chart of our NFA process:
Purchase /Order NFA Item/Suppressor, NFA item/suppressor arrives & gets checked in to our inventory, customer gets a phone call and email to schedule an appointment with us to complete the Form 4. Form 4 submitted online or mailed via USPS. ATF receives form 4, processes and issues tax stamp and either emails or mails paper copy customer with stamp and/or rejection letter. Customer arrives at Crosshairs Texas with tax stamp to pick up and complete final step of ATF required paperwork and takes suppressor home.
