What is the law about putting on a silencer that is not yours (yet)

The local business that is getting my suppressor until I can take possession of it could be getting it as early as 2 weeks from now (it is a custom build so it took some time).

The guy at the shop said I can come and "see" it any time the shop is open! I am wondering if there is any reason I can not attach it to my gun and take pictures of it (so long as the guy at the shop is cool with it)?

all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...

Should not be a problem as long as the dealer is present. I have heard of people that have gone out and shot their suppressors with the dealer while the form 4 was pending.

The key is that the dealer (the current owner) MUST be present and "in control" of the suppressor.

I've done this a few times. My dealer is pretty cool and offers to bring it so I can shoot it.

I invited my dealer down to our farm for 4th of July weekend when I realized paper work on a machinegun we wanted to play with wouldn't make it back in time. He brought all sorts of fun stuff to play with. Might give it a try.

Should not be a problem. I use Bullseye and they have a range. NFA Manager said, "Come in and shoot your SBR, or your suppressors while the paperwork is being done.".
