The questions people ask before they call.
Every other page here explains what we'd do to your firearm and what it costs. These don't sell anything — they answer the question you had before you knew which service you needed.
Why you won't find a wait time on these pages
The most-searched question in this whole subject is how long an ATF stamp takes, and it is the one number we refuse to print. Processing times have swung by more than an order of magnitude inside a single year, more than once. A page confidently quoting last year's figure is worse than a page quoting none — you'd plan around it, and it would be wrong by months.
So these guides explain the mechanism: what determines your wait, which parts of it you control, and where the live number actually lives. That answer stays true. If you want to know where your own filing sits, call the shop — we track what we file.

How long does an NFA stamp take?
There is no fixed answer, and anyone quoting you one is guessing — but the filing choices that decide it are almost entirely yours, and most of them are made before you ever hand over a form.

Georgia is permissive on the whole NFA category — suppressors, short-barreled rifles and shotguns are all lawful to own here provided you have satisfied federal law, and no Georgia city or county may add rules of its own.
Read the guide →03What thread pitch does my barrel need?
For most rifles it is 1/2×28 under .30 caliber and 5/8×24 at .30 caliber — but the thread is the least interesting part of the job, and picking it is not the same as cutting it well.

If the answer isn't here, ask us directly — we'd rather explain it once properly than have you guess.
