Got the paperwork in the mail and started it today for my first can. If I haven't picked out a class 3 dealer yet, can I just leave that part blank? Any gotcha's I should be careful to avoid?

Usually the dealer will fill out all the forms that you need and all you have to do is sign em ........
you are doing shit the hard way.

Re: Got my form 4 in the mail!
kind of working backwards on this one:
1. Research can that you want to buy
2. Talk to Manufacturer or dealer of the can
3. buy the can and get Form 4 from dealer
4. Go to Local law enforcement for fingerprints and Senior law enforcement signature (you also need recent picture of yourself)
5. Take Form 4 back to Dealer after you fill out your portion of no's and signatures or you can mail it straight to ATF with your $200. (there are numerous places on the internet that tell you the Form 4 process)
6. Wait for ATF to complete the process and get the stamp back from ATF. (2 - 6 months)
I am sure I missed some items but that is the basics of what to do.

So there's no way to start the waiting process with the ATF while I make final decision on a can?

ATF does nothing until you have the Serial Number for the form 4 and the process with the Local Law enforcement Officer. This process in non-negotiable with the ATF and there is a way to go about it. Suppressors are not for the impatient. Believe me on this one as I am in the process right now with a 223 suppressor.

Hm thanks guys. Guess I'll just have to wait on it now. Maybe I was thinking of a form 1 that you could do that with, I had thought about building one too but decided it would be worth it just to get a proven design.
