Age to own a suppressor

[Hovious]

I was thinking about purchasing a suppressor for my AR from AAC guns in Mooresville but I wasn't sure if the legal age was 18 or 21. Anyone know?

To legally purchase a suppressor/silencer or any item falling under the purview of the NFA, you must be at least 21 years of age, a resident of the United States, and have no felony record. And pay all the fees and wait and wait and....

For your info, AAC Guns closed up a couple of years ago, you're a little late.

18 to purchase from individual in your own state. 21 to purchase from a dealer.

Can you apply for it now, so you will be 21 by the time it comes back?

I'm kind of curious about that as well, I kind of want to start paperwork on mine soon so I won't have to wait a year to pick up my birthday present to myself.

Pretty positive you have to be 21 to even start the paperwork.

Must be 21 to start paperwork. You buy from another individual in your state on a Form 4 when you're 18, or you can Form 1 and make your own. Must be 21 to buy from dealer.

Yep, gotta be 21. I was just being a smart ass.

It's only 21 to buy from an FFL...

One CAN buy an NFA item from an individual at age 18.
