Suppressors & NFA Items in Maitland, FL
Foxhound Firearms is an SOT / NFA-capable dealer — so you can buy or transfer suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and other NFA items right here in Maitland, with the paperwork handled by people who do it every week.
How do you buy a suppressor in Florida in 2026?
- Pick the suppressor. Buy it from us, or have another seller ship it to Foxhound. Suppressor transfers are $85.
- File ATF Form 4 through eForms, as an individual or a trust. Fingerprints and a photo go in with it, and your local chief law enforcement officer is notified. We help you complete the Form 4.
- No tax payment. Since January 1, 2026 the federal tax stamp for suppressors is $0. The Form 4 and ATF approval are still required.
- Wait for approval, then pick it up. The suppressor stays with us until the ATF approves your Form 4.
Suppressors are legal to own in Florida, and the purchase runs through this federal process. Ask us for current ATF approval times when you file.
What is NFA?
Suppressors, SBRs & More — Done Local
Certain firearms and accessories — suppressors (silencers), short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns, and others — are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Buying or transferring them requires an ATF process, a tax stamp, and a licensed dealer with the right status.
That’s us. Foxhound holds SOT status, which means we’re set up to sell and receive NFA items and to walk you through the filing so it’s done correctly the first time. Suppressors are legal to own in Florida, and the process is far simpler than most people expect when a dealer handles it with you.
The process
How Buying a Suppressor Works
Pick your suppressor
Choose the can for your caliber and use — we’ll help you match it to your setup, or transfer one you already bought.
File the ATF form
We help you complete the ATF Form 4 (transfer) through eForms. The tax stamp for suppressors has been $0 since January 1, 2026, but the Form 4 and ATF approval still apply. Individual or trust — we’ll explain the difference.
Wait for approval
The suppressor stays secured with us while the ATF processes the application. Electronic filing has cut wait times dramatically versus the old paper days.
Pick it up
Once approved, you come in, we complete the transfer, and it’s yours to enjoy.

Common questions
NFA & Suppressor FAQ
Are suppressors legal in Florida?
Yes. Suppressors are legal to own in Florida for anyone who can legally possess a firearm and completes the federal NFA process, including the ATF Form 4 and tax stamp (now $0 for suppressors).
How long does suppressor approval take?
Wait times vary, but electronic filing (eForms) has shortened them dramatically compared to the old paper process. We’ll give you a current estimate when you file with us.
Do I need a gun trust?
Not necessarily. Many people file as an individual; others use an NFA trust for shared use or estate planning. We’ll explain the trade-offs so you can choose what fits.
Can I transfer a suppressor I already bought online?
Yes — that’s a common reason people come to us. The dealer or seller ships it to Foxhound, and we handle the Form 4 transfer to you.
Do you thread barrels for suppressors?
Yes. Our gunsmiths thread barrels and install muzzle devices in-house, so you can get set up for a can in one place. See our barrel & sight work page.
Can I build my own short-barreled rifle (SBR)?
Yes, with the correct ATF filing (a Form 1 for a build). We’ll walk you through what’s required before you cut anything.
Is there a waiting period to buy a gun in Florida?
Florida law applies an up-to-3-business-day waiting period on firearm purchases, including transfers. Holders of a valid Florida Concealed Weapon License are generally exempt. We walk every buyer through exactly what applies to them.
