Ok, on the ATF form 5320.20 there is no mention of suppressors in the instructions on the back. It list DD, MG, SBR, SBS, but no suppressors.
I tried calling the ATF, and all I got was an answering machine and I left a message with my cell number. No reply.
Can someone tell me if I need to use the form 5320.20 to travel out of state with my suppressor's? Or, is there another form? :dunno:
