Can Finnish shooters buy silencers based on firearm permit and is it a registered unit (based on serial number) or is it like gunpowder - anyone with a firearm license can buy it and it will not go on the permit. You just need a license to buy it?

Yes, with suitable rifle permit you're able to buy supressor. They're not registered to any database when sold. Kind of works like gunpowder.

Yes, every suppressor sold by a shop will need to be documented and sent to the police. If it has a serial number it needs to be provided, if not then it just gets documented without a serial number. Also regarding powder, it gets documented the same way as purchasing ammo, the only difference is that the powders serial and lot number of the powder. The only difference is that with ammo, powder, primers the info doesnt get sent.

So in conclusion - if I visit a finnish rifle store and I carry with me an EU firearms passport should I be able to buy a suppressor or not?

I can say that if I do the same with gunpowders then I am able to purchase it from a finnish gun store.

You might want to ask beforehand from Varuste.net or similar gunshops if they will sell you a suppressor based on your EU firearms passport or not.

Can you take the suppressor permanently out of Finland is another matter and only Finnish Police or Finnish Customs can answer that question.

Selling a rifle suppressor from Finland to a buyer in another EU member state requires formal prior authorization, commercial transfer permits, and compliance with strict EU firearms component laws. A foreign gun license alone is not sufficient to bypass cross-border transfer rules.Legal Status of SuppressorsFirearm Component: Under Finnish and EU law, suppressors are classified as pressure-bearing firearm parts and are subject to the same strict controls as core firearm components.Local Purchase vs. Export: While buying a suppressor locally in Finland requires a valid firearm permit, shipping or transferring it across EU borders to a private individual or foreign dealer involves regulated international trade procedures.Requirements for Cross-Border TransferTransfer Authorization: Moving a suppressor from Finland to another EU country requires an official prior transfer permit/license issued by the National Police Board of Finland.Destination Country Approval: The competent authorities of the destination EU member state must approve the import or acquisition before the item can leave Finland.Commercial vs. Private: Direct mail-order or casual cross-border shipping of loose pressure-bearing parts to private buyers is heavily restricted; transactions typically must go through licensed firearms dealers in both countries with verified import/export documentation.
