    I signed up for Eforms when they first came out but did not do anything with it. Can you start a Form 4 before you buy the suppressor like you do with a 77R or do you have to wait until you buy the suppressor?

    I do all mine and customers through Silencer Shop. I have to pay $25 for the privilege but the time I save is well worth it. If I didn’t have a regular full time job maybe I’d look at it differently. Another plus of SS is only have to do your fingerprints once and update your photo with your phone every year or so. When it’s time to submit we sit there and watch the form auto load. I also suck at typing so it really saves me a lot of time. Sorry that’s all I got.

    I have done my previous suppressors through Silencer Shop and I am familiar with the process. They have my prints and picture on file so I will probably use them in the future. I just wanted to know if I had to initiate the Form 4 on eforms or would they start the process when I buy another can.

    You have to wait. The suppressor info goes on the form.
    The EForms and I could be wrong are a lot like the MD W&C Permit paperwork start the file and save it come back update until ready to submit.

    I’d wait. No need to do much if going through SS. It auto loads from your account info and the form 3. Then you and the dealer sign off.

    That is what I was trying to find out.
    You can start and save an EForm, I just started an EForm 1. Once you save it it will pop up on your ATF home screen as a draft in the upper left on the Home Tab.
