If it has to go through a dealer anyway why wouldn't the dealer hold onto it? Not like it really matters with theath of selling and buying used as shown above.
I have purchased a used suppressor privately. It was part of a M11/9 package. I had a contract with the seller that everything would be in the same condition as when I first saw it and that it wouldn't be used while waiting for the stamp, and it wasn't.Buying a used suppressor from a private individual would really concern me.
The seller would be holding on to the suppressor until the form 4 goes through the excruciatingly slow ATF process and I would have to trust that after 9 month or more it would still be there in the same condition that when I bought it.
With a dependable dealer, it's locked away and waiting for me all new in the box.
It only requires a "dealer" SOT when doing interstate transfers, just like any other firearm.
Speaking of which I wonder how 594 effects that........
What do you have to sell? I've had experience with the NFA wait, so that isn't a big deal to me.I wish the used suppressor market was simpler and quicker. I have two suppressors I'd love to sell but transfer times are long.
Another problem is that suppressor technology is constantly evolving. Pistol and rifle suppressors from 5 years ago seem dated today. Older rimfire suppressors didn't allow for disassembly as they do now. Why buy used old tech from the secondary market with a long wait when you can buy new for not much more?
