EJB covered it pretty well. These would transfer from us to your dealer on a Form 3. Currently, they are running 4-6 weeks for approval, as mentioned. The dealer who handles the transfer for you should be a 'SOT', which is a FFL that has paid a special tax to deal in NFA items. The transfer from us to another SOT FFL is tax free. When they receive it, they will assist you in filling out the Form 4. This can be to you, as an individual, or to a trust that you're a part of. The individual route does require a CLEO signature. A trust does not. The Form 4 requires a $200 transfer tax be paid, which results in your form getting a 'stamp'. The stamp is proof that the tax was paid for the transfer of possession to you. Currently, Form 4 approvals are running around 5-6 months.
I am just learning how this all works. I think the transfer to the FFL requires a BATF Form 3 be filed first before the silencer can be shipped to a CLASS 3 FFL. This has to be approved, which takes 4-6 weeks? Then you file a BATF Form 4 before the FFL can transfer the NFA firearm (in this case, the silencer) to you. This approval takes months, and requires a CLEO (chief law enforement officer) sign-off. If you cannot get a CLEO sign-off, then you can, under current regulations, create a "gun trust" and transfer the NFA firearm to it, which does not require CLEO sign-off. However, there are new regulations being considered that may require CLEO sign-off even for trusts.
The new regulations were originally going to be released January 2015, but were postponed until May 2015 due to the hue and cry raised by industry, collector and other gun groups. We don't know what the new regs are going to be, but if they require CLEO sign-off for trusts and you can't get a CLEO sign-off in your jurisdiction, then no NFA items for you. A CLEO may refuse to sign off either because they don't want their good name to be linked to any NFA firearm, or because they don't believe that ordinary citizens should have NFA firearms. The former is a reasonable concern. The latter is an injection of personal views into their official capacity. Not terribly different from a court clerk who refuses to perform gay marriages, although on the other end of the political spectrum.
If you decide to go the gun-trust route, or if that is the only avenue available due to the CLEO attitudes in your jurisdiction, then you have to decide if you want to wait and see what the new regs turn out to be, or get an application in now and hope that existing applications will be grand-fathered in, in the event that the new regulations, if any, end up requiring CLEO sign-off even for trusts.
Does that answer your question?
Do these have to be shipped to a ffl dealer?
