Nosler Suppressor FAQs

Nosler suppressors have a unique modular design that allows you to replace the baffle stack in case of damage, without having to go through the purchase process again.

The noise produced by modern hunting rifles can cause significant hearing damage, even when used infrequently. A Nosler suppressor will reduce the sound to safe levels. Nosler suppressors will also make your rifle easier to shoot by reducing recoil, which can even increase your accuracy.

Unlike in the movies, a suppressor won’t “silence” a firearm. It does dramatically reduce the noise produced by a firearm, bringing it to much safer decibel levels.

By slowing the gases leaving the rifle, a suppressor will reduce the recoil in addition to reducing the noise. This can make even rifles chambered for powerful cartridges, such as .300 Win Mag, more enjoyable to shoot and even more accurate.

No, your Nosler suppressor won’t affect your rifle’s ballistics or the terminal performance of the bullet. Our suppressors are designed to allow the bullet to pass freely through. Only the ignition gases — which have already propelled the bullet out of the firearm — are affected by the suppressor.

You can file for your suppressor in multiple ways, depending on who you want to allow to use it, and how.

The paperwork you’ll need to efile after purchasing your suppressor includes the ATF Form 4, certain demographic information, fingerprints, and a passport-style photo.

The Nosler dealer who you purchased the suppressor from will store that exact suppressor for you during the approval process.

The wait times for approval change constantly, yet with the efile system, the approval process is much faster than in the past. Just remember, your patience will be rewarded when you’re finally able to mount your Nosler suppressor on your favorite rifle.
