Just how dramatic is the increase in suppressor sales since fast transfer times became the norm? Well, looking at a six-month span of the number of Form 4’s received by ATF tells the story. In February, as the news of fast transfers began to spread, Form 4 volume jumped by 84% to 79,465! With a small dip in March, as manufacturer’s and distributors worked to refill the shelves, April Form 4 numbers returned to historical highs of nearly 80,000 forms submitted. While not all Form 4’s are for suppressors, according to ATF data since 2016, they account for approximately 92% of all Form 4’s submitted. The best news? Even with the dramatic increase in form submissions, the transfer times remain fast!
