Federal firearms regulators published new National Firearms Act transfer guidance on October 9 through an open letter from Director Robert Cekada and an accompanying FAQ. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act had already reduced the tax on specified NFA items to zero, after which a Texas federal district court entered a permanent injunction against enforcing certain registration requirements for the covered items and the case plaintiffs. Unregistered suppressor transfers then occurred with agency knowledge and without objection. The FAQ states that multiple NFA provisions, including some personal-manufacture marking rules, will not be enforced. Individuals who may lawfully own guns and who comply with local statutes may complete many such transfers without Form 1, Form 4, registration, a tax stamp, or engraving, though the arrangement could later change.
