Silencer Shop Announcement

Silencer Shop Announcement

Silencer Shop and Orchid Advisors are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership that will provide the firearms industry with innovative solutions focused on consumer engagement, supply chain operations, and regulatory compliance.

The partnership will include the delivery of integrated business, compliance, and software solutions. As part of this strategic partnership, Travis Glover, formerly the Executive Director of Retail and Wholesale Practice at Orchid Advisors, has joined Silencer Shop’s leadership team as the Director of Business Development. Together, Silencer Shop and Orchid Advisors seek to innovate the way firearm products are distributed and sold to customers.

“We’ve been working with Orchid for years and received peace of mind and security using their software services. We are excited to extend that same sense of security to our customers,” says Silencer Shop CEO, Dave Matheny.

“Our team is ecstatic about expanding our relationship with Dave and Travis,” says Orchid CEO, Jon Rydberg. “We have tremendous respect for their industry knowledge and technical experience. Both of which are an asset to industry retailers.”

In celebration of the Silencer Shop announcement, Silencer Shop and Orchid are offering a no-risk, free 90-day trial to Orchid’s eBound Book and e4473 software. Orchid has been widely adopted across the shooting sports industry, including both small businesses and large retail chains. Firearm businesses, regardless of size, have the opportunity to use the same features and functions that have assisted in larger companies’ success, all at an affordable and competitive price.

About Silencer Shop

As the industry’s largest suppressor distributor, Silencer Shop’s goal is to supply customers with a suite of services that allow for a simpler silencer ownership process. With the most trafficked suppressor website, a robust nationwide network of kiosks, and ATF compliance and customer support, Silencer Shop provides the most efficient process of acquiring NFA items. For more information, visit SilencerShop.com.

The official text is at 91 FR 24357, Federal Register Volume 91, Issue 87 (May 6, 2026), pages 24357–24362. The docket is also open for comment at regulations.gov (Docket ATF-2026-0009) through midnight Eastern on June 5, 2026. This rule is part of ATF’s broader New Era of Reform package announced earlier this spring — see Orchid’s previous coverage of the Trump DOJ / ATF rule reforms for FFLs.

Unlike many publications on the Federal Register, this change was posted as a Direct Final Rule, making it immediately effective August 4, 2026 without a separate notice-for-comment cycle — unless significant adverse comments are received by June 5.

 

What Didn’t Change?

Permitting FFLs to verify a transferee’s license via ATF eZ Check does not eliminate the regulatory burden to actually verify the transferee’s license prior to a firearm transfer, nor does it relieve recordkeeping obligations under 27 CFR Part 478. The change is in the method of verification — not whether verification is required.

 

Orchid Customers Already Benefit

Orchid eBound, POS, and eCommerce have integrated directly with ATF FFL eZ Check for years. Every FFL transfer routed through your account is already being validated against ATF’s live data — no separate window, no PDF chasing, no manual license-number lookup. This is the same architecture that helped Orchid stay compliant through the ATF Ruling 2021R-05 changes and powers Orchid’s ATF Transaction Advisory Program for retail dealers.

For higher-volume transferors — manufacturers, distributors, and ERP-driven FFLs — our eFFL API delivers FFL and Letter of Authorization (LOA) data directly into the systems where your team actually works. The eFFL API is in production at customers running BSP NetSuite, Epicor, Infor, and other major ERPs, and is widely used inside eCommerce checkout flows to geo-select valid FFL ship-to destinations. See, for example, Prudent American’s launch with Orchid eBound, eSerial, eFFL API and the BSP NetSuite Firearms Edition (part of the JJE Capital Holdings family, alongside Palmetto State Armory).
