How long until I can walk into a gunshow and pay cash for a private-sale suppressor with zero paperwork?

“Effective October 9, 2026, the ATF will no longer enforce prior-approval (Form 1 and Form 4), registration, or tax-stamp requirements for individuals making or transferring short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), suppressors, and certain "any other weapons" (AOWs) under the National Firearms Act (NFA).”

Whew, just got surprised with a $40 transfer fee from Boss Firearms. About to order a cheap little .22 who isn't gouging in BCS? I'm used to $20-25

Preferably in North Texas like the Dallas area. But anywhere in the state also works. That's something on my bucket list that I want to shoot

Hello yall, I’m active duty navy currently in San Diego, I’ll be home for Christmas and just saw the DOJ decision on the ban for 18-20 yo’s purchasing handguns from FFL’s, I’m looking to pick something up when I’m home and would like the ease of an FFL instead of a private sale, but all the shops I’ve called have said they’re not selling to under 21 yet. Does anyone have any insight into how long until we see the effects of the DOJ ruling in Texas or whether we will see anything at all?

Hi everyone, just curious.

I am interested in buying a Gun, one that I have had a hard time finding anywhere around me bit have found a couple on TGT. Issue is that I live across the country.

Are there any people willing to ship items to verified FFL's near me? How do I ask without coming across like a scammer, something that I'm sure happens pretty often.

This revolver looks mighty impressive, seems to be getting good marks from reviewers apart from usual S&W wheelgun QC chicanery... anyone seen it for rental at any ranges in the area?

I submitted my Under-21 background check on September 17, and today (October 1) is business day 10. I stopped by my store in person today, and my check is still showing in an open "Delayed" status. My FFL dealer strictly requires an explicit "Proceed" in their system before they can release a firearm, so the 10-day Brady transfer rule doesn't apply in my case. For anyone else who has gone past the 10-business-day mark on an under-21 check recently, how much longer did you end up waiting for your status to clear? Have you had one take even longer than this, and did your status update mid-week or over a weekend?

How are y’all liking these?

Anyone know of FFLs north of Houston doing suppressor transfers with just 4473? Couple of places I normally go are still "waiting on official guidance"....

To make a long story short - my father passed away and I inherited the firearms he possessed. I intend on keeping all but one. I don’t know much about firearms to begin with, but I surely don’t know how to go about selling the one I want to part with. I want to make sure everything I do is legal while also not being ripped off because I am a woman with limited firearm knowledge ): Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some general advice?

Hey guys, just wanted to get some feedback and hear your opinions.
My first handgun, when the time comes, will be after I turn 21+. I’m currently 19, and I’m pretty sure I want to go with a Glock. I’ve been looking at the Glock 17 Gen 6 and Glock 19 Gen 6, and the main thing I’m debating is which one would be better for me.
The Glock 17 holds 17 rounds in the magazine, while the Glock 19 holds 15 rounds. I’m planning on eventually carrying my handgun concealed, so I’m wondering how much the difference in size between the two actually affects concealment and comfort.
I don’t want to sacrifice too much size just for a couple of extra rounds. To me, if I’m carrying a handgun, the most important thing is being accurate and making every shot count. At the same time, I understand that real-life situations can be unpredictable, and having those extra rounds could potentially make a difference.
I know I can always carry an extra magazine, so I’m mainly interested in hearing from people who have actually owned or carried a Glock 17 or Glock 19.
For those who own or have owned a Glock 17 or Glock 19 Gen 6:
How has your experience been?
How comfortable is it to conceal carry?
Do you notice a significant difference in size/weight between the two?
Which one did you choose and why?
On a scale of 0–10, how would you rate yours?
I’d appreciate hearing both positive and negative experiences. Thanks!

Hello, this message is for “We The People” — Second Amendment supporters, firearms owners, and future firearms owners.
I don’t currently own any firearms. I’m 19 years old, and I simply wanted to share my opinions, thoughts, and concerns while spreading awareness and positivity.
As Americans, we have constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment — the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Many of us view this right as an important part of our freedom and our ability to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities.
I believe we should stand together and make our voices heard. We must speak up, show up, participate in our communities, vote, and support organizations and associations that advocate for the rights we believe in.
I unfortunately live in Illinois, where I feel that my Second Amendment rights have been heavily restricted and challenged. But this is something that can affect people in any state. Laws and policies can change, and protecting constitutional rights requires citizens to remain informed and engaged.
Whether you currently own a firearm, are interested in becoming a firearm owner someday, or simply believe in protecting constitutional rights, your voice matters.
Let’s stand together peacefully, stay informed, participate in the political process, and work to preserve our freedoms—not only for ourselves, but also for those who come after us.
We The People. 🇺🇸
Our rights. Our freedom. Our future.

Happy Friday for all of those deployed. Thankful for your service

Anyone know where I can buy decent priced ar15 stripped lowers. Looking to buy around 10 or so

Hello boys, me and my homie from commiefornia are coming over in October most likely 9th-11th, as many of you know our rights are neutered out here like a dog so I wanted to just see if anyone’s down with letting us try out some ars with frts. I’ll happily cover 556 cost and even give some money for food. Here’s my collection, all maglocked/featureless 🪦😔

I’m 19 going to turn 20 me and my grandfather went to purchase a Glock 48 as an early birthday gift but I have a few questions about carrying and possession legality.

1. Can I carry my firearm with me with an LTC
   
2. Can I buy handgun ammo for my handgun
   
3. Do I need some sort of documentation that my grandfather gifted me the handgun
   
4. Can I go to the shooting range with my handgun

I have to be in Texas for a few months for work and I was wondering if I am able to purchase a rifle, I am 100% legal to purchase and carry and Arizona

I can’t afford a fancy suppressor that costs more than my extar ep9. I just want to buy a D cell maglite or some other tube, 3d print some baffles and maybe add a wipe.

I’m open to suggestions if you have already tried this.

After some thinking with a glass or three of bourbon, I decided to see how accurate the rail system is on a Walmart brand nerf blaster. Well it works, and it’s pretty accurate at 25 feet looking down the red dot lol.

Any mods in here? Please I need my account approved so I can reach out to a potential seller. I never got an account confirmation or anything
