This page covers how we sell NFA items: suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and other items regulated under the National Firearms Act.
The rules changed on October 9, 2026. ATF stopped enforcing NFA approval and registration for these items, so most can now transfer on a standard Form 4473 with a background check. Registration through a Form 4 is still available if you want it. Read our NFA Update for what changed and what didn't.
Before you buy online, confirm the details with the FFL who will be transferring the item to you: that they can receive NFA items, whether they'll transfer on a 4473 or a Form 4, and that the item is legal in your state.
The Process
- Place your order. Add your NFA item to your cart and choose a receiving FFL dealer during checkout. Your dealer must hold a valid SOT (Special Occupational Tax) status. Not every FFL dealer can receive and transfer NFA items, so confirm this before you order.
- We ship to your dealer. We ship NFA items to your dealer the same way we ship any firearm. If your dealer prefers a Form 3 dealer-to-dealer transfer, we can do that instead. A Form 3 needs ATF approval before we ship and typically adds 7 to 10 business days.
- Transfer at your dealer. How the transfer is done is up to you and your dealer. The usual route is now a Form 4473 with a NICS background check, like any other firearm. If you want the item registered, your dealer can file a Form 4 instead and you'll wait for ATF approval. There is no longer a tax stamp fee.
- Pick up your item. Your dealer will contact you when it's ready.
Buying In Store
If you pick up from us in Fruitland, we'll transfer your NFA item on a Form 4473. If you'd rather register it, we'll file a Form 4 for you instead.
NFA Refund Policy
Transfers on a Form 4473: Standard firearm terms apply, including a background check denial or an item your state doesn't allow. See our Returns & Refunds Policy.
Transfers using a Form 3 or Form 4: Once the ATF form has been submitted, we cannot offer a full refund. If ATF denies the application, you will receive your choice of either 90% of the item's purchase price as store credit, or a 75% direct refund to your original payment method.
If you cancel before any ATF form is submitted: Standard firearm cancellation terms apply. See our Returns & Refunds Policy.
Pickup Deadline
You must pick up your NFA item from the receiving FFL dealer within 60 days of being notified that it's ready. NFA items not picked up within this period will be considered abandoned and will become the property of Reactive Gunworks. No refund will be issued for abandoned items.
If you need an extension due to extenuating circumstances, contact us at support@reactivegunworks.com before the 60-day window expires.
SOT Dealer Requirement
Not every FFL dealer is licensed to handle NFA/Class III items. Your receiving dealer must hold the appropriate Special Occupational Tax (SOT) classification. If you select a dealer who cannot legally receive NFA items, your order will be delayed until an appropriate dealer is identified. We are not responsible for delays caused by selecting an ineligible dealer.
If you are unsure whether your preferred dealer handles NFA transfers, contact them directly before placing your order.
Damaged NFA Items
If an NFA item is damaged during shipping, contact us immediately at support@reactivegunworks.com with photos. Damaged items are the only exception to the NFA refund restrictions. We will replace or fully refund a damaged NFA item.
