Suppressor law update — August 14, 2026
A federal court struck down NFA registration for suppressors on August 5, but the order is far narrower than the headlines suggest and the ATF has issued no guidance to dealers. Our process has not changed — we are still filing Form 4s, and your tax stamp is still $0. Read the full breakdown from our SOT desk →
Pick a caliber or a brand below to see every suppressor we have in stock. Western Sport has been an SOT / Class III dealer in Roanoke, Texas since 2007, and as of January 2026 the federal tax stamp on suppressors is $0 — so the only thing standing between you and a quieter rifle is the paperwork, which we do for you.

How to Pick the Right Can
Buy one caliber up. A .30 cal suppressor will run on .308, .300 Blackout, 5.56 and most everything smaller, so one can covers a whole safe. A dedicated 5.56 can is lighter and quieter on that one host, but that’s all it does.
Mount type matters more than you’d think. Direct thread is simplest and cheapest. Quick-detach lets you move one suppressor across several rifles in seconds, at the cost of a muzzle device on each host. Either way, the first thing to confirm is what thread your barrel actually wears — we keep a sourced muzzle thread pitch database covering 234 factory configurations, because the charts most people find are undated and wrong often enough to cost you a can.
Weight and length are the real trade-off. Titanium runs lighter and heats faster; stainless and Inconel are heavier and take more abuse. Longer usually means quieter. Decide whether this can lives on a hunting rifle you carry all day or a range rifle that never leaves the bench.
Check the rating. If you plan to run it hard, full-auto rated matters. Flow-through designs cut back pressure and gas blowback noticeably on an AR.
Buying a Suppressor: The Short Version
Pick it, we hold it, we file the Form 4 with your prints and photo, the ATF approves, you pick it up. The $200 tax stamp on suppressors went to $0 in January 2026. The full walkthrough is on NFA Made Simple, or call (817) 393-4000 and we’ll talk it through.
