    I have a family member who recently got rid of a lot of weapons, he has a YHM suppressor and no gun for it to go on. I've been toying around purchasing/ transferring it. I've never applied for an NFA item. What would be required to make it legal?

    Form 4 and $200 tax, assuming you and he are in the same state.

    Yup, if you're in the same state no dealer needed for transfer. Hes the transferee, you're the transferor. He holds onto it until the form 4 comes back approved. Still a $200 tax

    If he's in another state, not worth the hassle. Would take a $200 tax on a form 4 to a dealer in that state. Then a form 3 transfer to a dealer in your state. Then another $200 tax from that dealer to you. So you'd have $400 in tax stamps and the wait of not 1 but 2 separate form 4s. Could be a 2 year process

    So to complicate it further, we are both active military and he resides in a different state.
    This there an option #2 where we can transfer the can?

    If you reside in different states, it’s a two-stamp transfer so that’s $400 which pretty much makes it economically non feasible. There is no way around this unless one of you relocated to the same state as the other.

    What about transferring it to a trust, then adding whoever to the trust?

    Doesnt matter. Transfer process is the same.

    Well, if the silencer is currently on an NFA Trust by Person A:

    1.) Add Person B as Successor Trustee.

    2.) Ship silencer to Person B.

    So they both are on the trust, no transfer.
