NFA now?

I am new to all of this, so this may sound like a stupid question to some, but regardless, I am here for some advice. Should one even consider trying to purchase a silencer or applying for an SBR stamp at this point? I know that I am late to the game, but one has to start sometime. I am patiently waiting for the YHM Turbo K to become available again, but now I am unsure how to proceed. Any and all advice is welcomed. Thank you.

All you can do is start the process. I dont see them doing anything initially. Plus if you have it already in the pipeline than maybe it will be grandfathered. SBR are literally taking a month. Remember TRUMP is still president for a couple more months at least. I wouldnt let any of this crap stop me from doing it. Neither should you. Plus suppressors are a lot of fun.

I'm not a complete politics follower, but won't the Republicans still control the senate? Gun laws aren't threatened merely because of a democratic POTUS.

The challenge becomes you can’t have just one. A dedicated rimfire can is pretty much a must have as it is “relatively” cheap fun.

Not sure if you were paying attention durning the Obama administration but he passed so many executive orders and the poor ol Republicans didnt stand up and do shit. I hope that isnt the case but it also depends on the two seats in Georgia. Lose those two and the senate, house and POTUS are democrats and that is called a super majority and there isnt a damn thing that anyone can do to stop anything. The way they stole the presidency i dont think a couple senate seats in a southern state would be too difficult.

YES absolutely on both SBR and Silencer. With a trust you can e-file the form 1 the SBR (if you build one from a lower) and get it back in about a month. With a suppressor I would suggest find a gunshop/range so when you buy it there, while you wait the year to take it home, you can visit it's temporary home and shoot it on the range.

The only regret with NFA is I didn't start sooner as it's a game changer. With my kids the suppressor removes the blast and most of the bang that make shooting unpleasant, especially indoors. The other NFA stuff is some of the most fun I've had with firearms, especially teaching my kids to shoot.
