Most builds land between $4,200 and $9,000 finished. The big drivers are barrel ($500–1,200), action ($800–2,000), stock ($600–1,500), and optic ($500–3,000+). Our labor and assembly is a flat line item in every quote.
We don't pad the bill of materials and we don't quote with mystery markup. Every quote is itemized.
Pick the can, pay for it, file Form 4 with the ATF. We take fingerprints and a photo at the same appointment. The ATF typically approves in about 10 days as of mid-2026. When approval comes back, we call or email you to schedule pickup.
The $200 federal tax stamp was eliminated January 1, 2026. There's no longer any federal transfer tax on suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, or AOWs.
Not sure which can? Our selection guide covers caliber rating, mounts, and materials.
You tell us the build you want and we send an itemized quote. When it's ready, the firearm is picked up through a licensed dealer (an FFL) — either us here in Bozeman, or a shop near you if you're out of state. At pickup you fill out an ATF Form 4473 and pass an instant NICS background check. For most people it's 15–25 minutes at the counter.
You must be legally able to own the firearm in your state, meet the age requirement (handguns 21+, long guns per your state), and pass the check.
Silencer Shop and Silencer Central don't build rifles. Cabela's doesn't sell suppressors. We do both, in the same shop, with the same person handling your paperwork start to finish.
Want a precision rifle and suppressor configured together as one project? We're set up for that. Want a one-off can or a one-off build? We're competitive on both.
Firearms ship to any state through the buyer's local dealer — you give us your dealer, we handle the paperwork on our end.
Suppressors ship through a Class 3 dealer in the buyer's state. Most states allow civilian suppressor ownership; exceptions in mid-2026 include CA, DE, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY, RI, and DC. Always confirm your state's rules before paying.
Bozeman, Montana. By appointment Monday through Saturday. We're a build-and-paperwork shop, not a walk-in retail counter, so appointments mean the right person is there when you arrive.
Address is shared when we confirm your appointment.
We're not a precision gunsmith — we don't chamber barrels, true actions, or hand-bed stocks in-house. We assemble from quality components and function-fire; if you want true barrel work we'll point you to a shop that does it.
We're also not a bargain-bin counter. We carry the platforms worth owning — hard-use rifles, pistols, custom builds, and NFA — not whatever's cheapest this week.
Quotes within one business day. Same-day if you call before 2 PM Mountain.
