NFA Gun Trust – Secure & Legally Own NFA Items

What is an NFA Gun Trust?

An NFA Gun Trust is a revocable trust that provides legal flexibility for multiple responsible parties, known as trustees, to legally possess and share ownership of suppressors, SBRs, and other NFA items. Unlike individual ownership, an NFA Trust allows multiple trustees to use and store NFA-regulated firearms.

Silencer Shop’s Traditional NFA Gun Trust is designed for ongoing NFA item ownership, meaning all of your future suppressor and NFA purchases can be assigned to the same trust—providing an organized, single-trust solution.  If you prefer to simplify future purchases without having to modify your existing trust, consider our Single Shot Trust instead.

Setting up your Traditional NFA Gun Trust with Silencer Shop is quick and easy:

1. Purchase the Trust – Add the Traditional NFA Gun Trust to your cart and complete checkout.
2. Complete the Questionnaire – After purchase, you will receive a simple questionnaire to customize your trust.
3. Receive & Sign the Trust – Once submitted, you’ll receive the official trust document via email. Print, sign, and have it notarized.
4. Update Your Silencer Shop Account – Ensure your Silencer Shop account is set to file under a trust. You can update this manually in your profile or contact us for assistance.
5. Upload Your Trust Document – Add your finalized trust to your Silencer Shop account or email it to trust@silencershop.com with your order number.

By completing these steps, you ensure a legally compliant and streamlined process for owning and sharing suppressors and NFA firearms with trusted individuals.

4. Can I add or remove trustees and beneficiaries later?
