Currently living in Alaska but plan to move to Missouri this spring. The plan is and has been for years once I got the coin for me to get a 308 suppressor but my worries are about MO and transferring it there. Plus, what if we move before I get it transferred to me here, then what. I know its a Fed thing but still I worry about MO, residency and such.

Should I wait till I get there, 90 days is what I am told before I am a resident in MO for CC, gun purchase, etc so I assume this means NFA items too. I understand I require a C&R to take possession and own it there too.

Any help would be most appreciated.

In the Farmington MO area, anyone know a dealer for NFA? About an hour south of St Louis on Hwy 67.

Thanks
 
Re: Missouri Hiders....Suppressor Help

For a gun purchase, all you need in a MO drivers license.

Personally, I would wait until you move to start the paperwork (form 4). You could contact a Missouri Class III dealer and get the ball rolling by having them order the can. If you go with AAC, you may need all the lead time you can get.

You can get the C&R now and then change the address after you move.

A friend says the same thing, just wait till I get there but the show stopper is exactly when we move. It took him just 4 months for his 458 socomm through Ak Tactical so I could all likely have it in my hands before moving and what it we do not move till Sept? The wife is our defining role on when, she has to clear medical...2 more surgeries this month, get her legal affairs resolved before we get out of here. Driving me/us crazy on all this moving but she has to get home to family in the MO, TN, KY boarder area.

As of now, going with Ops Inc unless....I want least shift with most accuracy, long life, sound reduction is last but would like to shoot without hearing.

Still in early phase but the bug hit me hard when bud got his 458 socomm. Still working on all the coin it takes too.

I fear MO gun laws living free in Ak for so long.
 
Re: Missouri Hiders....Suppressor Help

Not sure, but I used to live in KS, in KC so right on the boarder of MO. I was under the impression that in order to own NFA in MO you needed to have an FFL, but I think a C&R lets you purchase NFA items thru a licensed SOT. MO guys chime in here.

I don't know where in MO you are gonna end up. If you are close to KC I think Denny's Guns in NKCMO would be a good place to start, of George Gardner could probably steer you in the right direction.
 
Re: Missouri Hiders....Suppressor Help

Dennis is correct, You just have to apply for a C&R Licence with the feds when you arrive in Missouri. after its issued you can apply for the tax stamp. Pretty easy.
 
Re: Missouri Hiders....Suppressor Help

If you have a ccw check for reciprocity. My Texas ccw works till it expires. As for the c&r, get it now and change the address when you move. If you are moving soon wait for the purchase. I did not and I now have to carry three documents.

Mo gun laws are pretty good these days. (Other than needing a C&R for title II stuff.)

If you are not moving until September then you have time enought to buy it now.

But consider how you are moving to MO. If you are driving, I would not want to carry the can nor guns with me.
 
Re: Missouri Hiders....Suppressor Help

The question is, can I legally use the can in MO on AK residency?

Packing up a few things and shipping it, we fly, did the drive many times and while it is fun, too far cost is too much. Wife is handicap and could not survive the 5 day drive.

I found a class III in Poplar Bluff MO that I think is close to the new AO.
 
Re: Missouri Hiders....Suppressor Help

You've got a closer Class III dealer to Farmington. It's Take Aim in Perryville. That's where I picked up my AAC Cyclone K. Tim is good people and is easy to deal with. We run tac and modified f-class matches in Houston, MO every month if you're interested.

Hope it helps.

TAKE AIM is a very good shop with Class 3, I live in Chester IL and go across the river and deal with Tim quit a bit.
