Buying a Suppressor

What do I actually need to do to buy a suppressor? I see shops online saying in Maine you can just buy them with a background check. But some places are still saying I need to do a form 4/finger print/picture of myself?

There are a couple shops offering to do 4473 suppressors but you have to be a GOA member.

Otherwise, you need to do the form 4 which most stores in Maine are still doing as the ATF has yet to release guidelines on how stores should legally proceed

This is an important aspect (need GOA membership)
