But back on topic, can Ospery sell one can with multiple adapters without running afoul of BATFE's new ruling, as long as the adapters don't include a booster assembly? How are silencer manufacturers dancing around that pesky ruling these days?
Duke, my take on that situation is that technically the "new standard" should, and most likely eventually will apply to all manufacturers. But for now, since they've only raided YHM, it only, so far, applies to YHM's cans.
Really, I can understand where the ATF is coming from on this. When the booster is unported one can reasonably argue that it is a "mount" part and not an integral part of the suppressor's ability to suppress the report. But once the mfr's discovered that porting the booster allowed them to utilize what was previously wasted space, and make their suppressors even quieter, well it was inevitable that sooner or later the ATF would "clarify" that ported boosters are indeed suppressor parts and not "mount" parts.
MFr's that do not port their boosters should not have an issue.
