ATF Form 4 Application

Welcome to the Trust Shop


Everything you need when buying a Silencer, SBR, or other NFA Firearm
The Trust Shop Form 4 System makes creating your Form 4 paperwork simple, but there are a few things you need to do:
1.	Read each question carefully
2.	Answer each question completely
3.	Pay special attention to any notes below the questions
4.	And most important: Don’t look to the internet for help! The info on the web is almost always wrong.
Speaking of which… Here is our first important note:

Make sure to turn off the autofill feature on your web browser.

If autofill is turned on, even though it appears you are entering your information correctly, your web bowser may automatically submit something else.
