Zero Tax Stamp on Suppressors & SBRs Starting January 1, 2026

What You Should Know

A landmark change is on the horizon: Starting January 1, 2026, the $200 federal tax stamp on suppressors and short-barreled rifles (SBRs) will be eliminated.

🎯 This is a significant step forward for accessibility, and efforts are ongoing to re-evaluate their inclusion in the National Firearms Act (NFA).

📅 What’s Changing on January 1, 2026:

• The NFA tax stamp will be reduced from $200 to $0
• The approval and transfer process under the NFA remains in place for now
• Our understanding is that January 1 marks the effective start, though timelines may adjust

🚚 Request Delayed Shipping to Avoid the $200 tax stamp

For those looking to prepare early, customers can place an order now & request delayed shipping by contacting contact@baldridgeoutdoors.com with product selection or request. Items will be ordered & held through the end of 2025. Due to inventory management and guaranteed storage, this option is non-refundable. However, we’re happy to hold.  Once your order is placed, schedule a time to get fingerprints and picture taken.

🔥 Why Early Ordering May Help

• Demand for suppressors continues to rise and is expected to surge as January approaches.
• Availability of popular models is already tightening, with backorders increasing.
• Ordering now helps ensure selection and lock in current pricing.

💸 What If You Want to Proceed Under Current Rules?

The $200 tax stamp and traditional NFA process remain unchanged until the new law takes effect. For those who want their suppressor sooner:

• You can place your order now.
• You’ll still pay the current $200 tax stamp.
• Most Form 3 transfers are approved within a week
• Current Form 4 transfers are approximately 10 days.
