I submitted my form 4 and waited 9 months for approval.
However fuck the NFA. |

IIRC, there was some company that made an adapter like that, and it was an NFA item. Not a horrible idea, and yeah, it does suck that suppressors are NFA.

Yes, a solvent trap.

Illegal as fuck.
The "  " just further reinforces the fact that he knows what the true intent of that is.
Fuckin' people, man.

This is a legal and registered silencer that is patent pending. It is an adapter that uses a removable expansion chamber aka a car oil filter. In our opinion this device is as quiet as any 22lr silencer we have ever tested. The is a registered silencer and must be treated as such. The adapter is threaded 1/2-28. This is a NFA item and all NFA rules and regulations apply. We are licensed by CGW to manufacture this suppressor. Price-$75.00 Call for orders |

I had the same discussion with a couple of gents I know whom are feds of the bat-fag variety... they loved the idea, but said it would get squashed hard upon someone doing the same dumbass thing the fella in the EE appears to be doing. Hope he likes buttseckz... he's gonna have some.

It's a danger to the environment to let deadly solvents potentially get into the ground water. Trapping them in an oil filter is a great way to be environmental friendly, and you can dispose of it properly just like you would your excess oil

At least he didn't shoot a hole through the bottom of the filter "to allow the solvent to drain".

Unless you put a hole in that filter how does it qualify as a suppressor? If I buy an adaptor and filter, screw it on my gun, then proceed to stand my rifle on the filter while filling the barrel with bore cleaner to soak, how is it illegal?
You have to prove intent. If there's solvent in the filter and no hole, where is the "intent"? Yes, I'm playing Devils advocate, but the adaptor/filter/rifle combo until fired or altered to allow passage of a projectile shouldn't be an issue. (IMO) |

IIRC, the company that makes these adapters made two different versions. The NFA suppressor adapter was bigger around to cover all the holes and seal around the rubber gasket on the filter. The other one made and marketed for cleaning was smaller and did not cover any holes in the oil filter. I'm pretty sure that's what made the difference between NFA and non-NFA
Either way, it's obvious what the guy in the EE is intending. |

Run the numbers. $200 stamp + whatever for a real, quality suppressor vs. your minimum retainer for a lawyer if they decide they are going to try to prove intent. The NFA sucks, but it's far cheaper than a lawyer. Only dummies would buy one of those. |

I'm going to bring this up the next time I see an agent in person. Last time I actually saw someone from BATFE was3-4 years ago. Is there an actual statute or law on the books regarding this specific combo, or is it more a case of "if/maybe/probably" but we don't really know for sure? |

I bet they'll tell you anybody who buys one of these is asking for possible scrutiny they probably won't enjoy. A huge NFA collector friend of mine got poked for having spare wipes for an ancient Sionics suppressor (that he thought were legal) in the late 80s. He got off, $54,000 later. |

I think staff has a red phone linked directly to ATF headquarters to offer their supreme ruling on gun laws.
What I'm actually implying, is that we seem to have a lot of amateur ATF agents on here who love to point out that solvent traps, new triggers, forearm pistol braces, and double barrel 1911s should be illegal even though the ATF has approved them. We're fucking great champions of our own liberties. (Sarcasm smiley since you meter is broken). |
