NEVER PURCHASED A SILENCER?
FOLLOW THESE THREE EASY STEPS:
1. Choose Your Silencer
Start by going to Silencer Shop and choosing the silencer that fits your needs, then add it to your cart. During checkout, pick RC FIREARMS LLC as your Silencer Shop dealer where your order will be processed and eventually picked up.
Helpful details:
-
Silencer Shop automatically handles the tax stamp, and it’s included at no extra cost for silencers, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs.
-
Choose your preferred filing method — most customers file as an Individual or through a Trust. Their Single Shot Trust is a simple, streamlined option.

To create your profile:
-

Upload a passport‑style photo through their website or mobile app. Use a plain background, include your shoulders, and avoid hats or sunglasses.
