People keep posting about this and it just makes me wonder about all the legal nuances involved with this.
The ATF has ruled that you can't keep spare suppressor parts around and that even a spare baffle is a suppressor in the eyes of the ATF. Keeping that in mind, and knowing that the end-user can't change baffles out in their suppressor legally, I wonder about this. A - If you want to change the oil in your car and you are in possession of the registered adapter, it would appear that you're now in violation of the law because you have a separate baffle aka big no-no. B - They're likely trying to sell this as a modular can, but the only way these things can be swapped out is if you send the registered adapter to them and request that they change out the oil filter for you. Nice idea, but our stupid regs shit all over it. |

Appparently, they have engraved the filter wih their information, but that pretty much ruins the practical side of this one. Could be a good idea, as andrasik said, if the regs didn't shit all over it. |

I am not sure it is really worth the trouble for a .22 suppressor . The very best .22 suppressors only cost $200. plus a stamp.
Good ideas though , could lead to something better. |

Yeah, it's dupity for a thread in the suppressors forum as well.
But suffice to say, the entire hope for this device was pinned on the oil filters being declared "wipes"-IOW baffles that are solid and are shot through. Wipes are one part that ATF has allowed to be replaceable in their various Koran-like, contradictory,schizophrenic declarations over the years. Technical branch's writings are more confusing over time than Mohammed's writings. |

No, the very best .22 suppressors are more like $700ish dollars. AAC Element 2 and Silencerco Sparrow along with Liberty are the nicest & quietest. |

The company is basinf it's premise on the Filters acting as "Wipes"..ATF so far hasnt made a decision either way AFAIK.

How does the rule about the OEM rebuilding a suppressor apply to Form 1 builds?
IIRC, a few years ago the BATFE went ape-shit on somebody importing something similar from Germany without an NFA stamp. That one was an adapter to attach a plastic coke bottle, and the premise was to catch your used cleaning patches for disposal as you push them through the barrel. |
