Our Anchor Product
Suppressors, made simple.
From your first tax stamp to your tenth can.
Suppressors aren't an accessory. They're a tool — for the hunter who values their hearing, the shooter who values precision, the family member who shouldn't have to wear ear protection at the range. We help you understand the process, pick the right can for your platform, and get it home faster than you think.
For Hunters
Yes, you can hunt with one in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania legalized hunting with a suppressor in 2014. There's no special permit, no separate license, no extra paperwork at the state level. If your suppressor is properly registered with the ATF, you can take it into the woods.
The case for hunting with one is straightforward. Your hearing is worth protecting — and a single rifle report at the moment of truth, especially without ear pro because you needed to hear the deer move, can do permanent damage. A suppressor cuts the muzzle blast to safe levels.
Recoil drops noticeably. Animals downwind don't locate the shot the way they do with an unsuppressed rifle. And the ethical argument is compelling: a calmer, more stable rifle is a more accurate rifle, which is a more humane rifle.
How it works
Silencer Shop Powered By — the day the license lands.
Silencer Shop runs the largest suppressor distribution and processing network in the country. We'll be a Powered By dealer the day our Type 07 license clears — with access to their inventory, their kiosk system for fingerprinting and photos, and their eForm 4 submission pipeline.
That means our role is the part that actually matters: helping you pick the right can for your platform, walking you through the process, and being there when the stamp clears. The paperwork — the part everyone hates — moves through a system that's been refined over tens of thousands of submissions.
Wait times are currently averaging under 30 days, often closer to two weeks. That's the eForm 4 system doing what the old paper Form 4 couldn't.
The Process
From counter to take-home.
Five steps. The longest one is the wait — and the wait is shorter than you've heard.
- 01
Pick your suppressor
Browse our catalog or come in for hands-on guidance. We’ll match the can to your platform, your hearing-protection priorities, and your budget.
- 02
Pay & paperwork
We collect payment, fingerprints (via Silencer Shop kiosk), and submit the eForm 4 to the ATF on your behalf. Total time at the shop: about 30 minutes.
- 03
ATF review
Currently averaging 7-30 days, dramatically faster than the old paper process. You’ll get a copy of your submission immediately for your records.
- 04
Tax stamp issued
We notify you the moment your stamp clears. The wait is the only thing standing between you and your first shot through it.
- 05
Take it home
Pick up the can in person at our location. We’ll walk you through care, mounting, and your first range trip.
