Suppressors Suppressors and change of address

[Unknown]

I know that BATFE would like people to notify them whenever someone with a suppressor moves. I would like to know if notifying BATFE of a suppressors location is REQUIRED, or preferred. I'm referring to suppressors that are legally registered.

I don't have the answer to your question, but I did notify them and it took, if memory serves, the better part of a year before they replied, acknowledging the change of address. So, I guess they pay enough attention to respond - not that common these days it seems.

Only REQUIRED if you move across state lines.

Ive been told by my dealer (very knowledgeable guy) that only certain NFA items require notification, and suppressors are not one of them.

I moved within my own town/state, and was told by ATF that I needed to change the address on my Class 3 items. Also had to have some work done on one of my subguns, and the gunsmith nearly balked because my Form 4 reflected my old address. IMO, in the long run, esp with Class 3, better safe than sorry...

I was told to file a specific form to notify them of a change in address if it was different then the address on the original form.

Ive never notified them of a in-state move. I sold an NFA item recently showing my old address and it went thru with no problems, called my examiner and was told dont bother YMMV

Well if you use a trust you will have to change address as it must reflect your current residence to be valid.
