You know that lots of companies have gotten into the suppressor business in the last year. And you know that it’s do to 1) drastically reduced wait time for Form 4 processing, and 2) the cost of an NFA tax stamp going to zero. Both have increased demand. How much? Well, according to our friends at the American Suppressor Association, here are the latest Form 4 numbers from ATF:
September: no data due to government shutdown
October: 38,335
November: 46,420
December: no data due to increased January volume
January: 240,270
February: 147,324
In other words, business is booming. Where demand will level out after the initial January 1 bump is anyone’s guess, but sub-one week approval times and keeping two more Benjamins in your pocket when you buy have attracted a lot of people to suppressor ownership who hadn’t considered it in the past.
