My son manages a large local gun store, and we were discussing the elimination of the $200 tax stamp for suppressors, etc. beginning in 2026. He's afraid that it might affect his near term suppressor sales if buyers decide to wait until the first of the year to make their purchases to save the $200. His solution is to look at his store absorbing the $200 tax for the remainder of the year to keep his inventory moving in the hopes that suppressor/sbr/sbs/AOW sales explode in 2026. If you're thinking of buying one of these items, you might want to check with your lgs to see if they're offering any deals for the remainder of 2025.

But you never know what will happen...a couple of years ago I took advantage of the BATF's tax stamp hiatus on Pistol Braces and registered my SIG MPX as a SBR. Now it looks like that wasn't necessary but the deed is done.

Here's an excellent article about the lawsuit challenging the inclusion of suppressors, SBR's and short barreled shotguns in the NFA, after the tax is dropped.

I did the same with an AR pistol and a Ruger PC9 Charger. I rather suspected that the "ruling" might be reversed making the registration unnecessary, but I saw it as an opportunity to mount actual buttstocks on my pistols without incurring the $400 total in fees.
 
The local Nosler store is paying the $200 tax also for their suppressors. I’ve seen other retailers offer the same. IMO, they are still way overpriced. I have a 22lr one. It’s a royal pain to clean so I don’t use it much…
