Trump's BBB & The NFA Fee

An explination of how the BBB effects the NFA.

Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill - Changes in the NFA Fees

 

Trump’s big, beautiful bill got passed.  What does that mean for gun owners?  

 

A couple things.  

 

The bill reduces the tax stamp cost for the consumer to $0.   

 

This means that if you, the consumer, wishes to purchase an NFA item that is covered by the bill, that YOU WILL still need to go through the NFA background check process but the government fee associated with the process will be $0.  

 

Items covered in the fee reduction/removal are as follows: 

 

  1. Suppressor/Silencer/Muffler 
  2. Short Barrel Rifle (SBR)
  3. Short Barrel Shotgun (SBS)
  4. Any Other Weapon (AOW)

 

FAQ’s are below

 

Are the fees on machine guns reduced?

Answer: Nope, machine guns still appear to have the fee associated with the process.  

 

When will this fee reduction go into effect?  

Answer: January 01, 2026

 

Should you wait to buy an NFA item?

Answer: This is a tricky one, it appears everyone is expecting demand on NFA items to go up after the first of the year.   Thus, if you wait to avoid the fee, you may not be able to get what you want, additionally with the increase in demand comes the increase in background checks which means the wait times are likely to increase, at least in the short term.   Our suggestion is to buy now

 

Why buy now when the fee is still in place?

Answer: Firearms Unknown is offering an extended lay away program that allows the consumer to make payments on NFA items and do the paperwork on it after the first of the year.
