Well, Your guys wrong and wiki as usual is partially right. You do need a 5320.20 to travel for machineguns, SBR's , SBS's and destructive devices. Silencers and AOW's are not listed on the form so it is not necessary to file a 5320.20 to travel with them. If you file a 5320.20 to travel with silencers and AOW's the ATF will approve it but you don't need to...
As you will notice it does not say "any NFA weapon." . It specifically mentions a few categories. Those are the only categories the form applies to.
When I traveled last year I did have to notify the ATF. I have the paperwork sittin in front of me now. Form 5320.20 was the form. It askes what type of firearm and I had to put suppressor. It asks servicable, caliber, model, overall length, manufacturer and serial number. It only took bout 2 weeks to get the paperwork back. If I were you, Id call the ATF and make sure with them. You dont want to get stuck in a bad position. Just my experience and .02 cents.
304-616-4500 (ATF)
Thats not what the ATF told me when I went out of state. On a side note, IM not gonna push it cause of the ignorance of law enforcement. Ill always get paperwork.
Its on the form and in the US code when its required. Silencers are not one of those items requiring the 5320.20. Keep in mind that travelling interstate the police are only going to be interested in your approved form 1 or form 4. Its the ATF that wants to see 5320.20's and in the case of silencers is clear in black and white when its actually required. Talking to a ATF agent on the phone for useful advice is as useful as getting surgery over the phone.
