How It Works

Buying a silencer through Tuna Cans is straightforward. We help connect you with a licensed dealer in your area who can receive the silencer and guide you through the required transfer process.

1. Place Your Order Online

Choose the silencer you would like to purchase and complete your order directly through our website.

During checkout, you will be asked to enter your ZIP code and select a nearby licensed FFL/SOT dealer. Your silencer will be shipped to the dealer you select—it cannot be shipped directly to your home.

2. We Ship to Your Selected Dealer

Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive a tracking number by email.

You can use the tracking information to follow the shipment and confirm when your silencer has arrived at the dealer.

3. Visit the Dealer and Submit Your Form 4

After the shipment has arrived, contact or visit your selected dealer. The dealer will assist you with completing and submitting your ATF Form 4 transfer application.

Dealers commonly charge a transfer fee for this service, which is typically between $50 and $100. Fees and procedures may vary by dealer, so we recommend confirming their pricing before selecting them during checkout.

4. Wait for ATF Approval

Once your Form 4 has been submitted, your silencer must remain with the dealer while the ATF processes your application.

The dealer will contact you when your transfer has been approved.

5. Pick Up Your Silencer

After receiving ATF approval, return to the dealer to complete any remaining paperwork and take possession of your silencer.

Prefer to Order Through Your Local Dealer?

You can also ask your preferred gun store to place the order for you.

Setting up a wholesale account with Tuna Cans only takes a few moments. When the dealer orders directly through their wholesale account, you may be able to avoid paying a separate transfer fee.

Have your dealer contact us or create a wholesale account to get started.
