Oil filter adapters?

Apologies if this has been discussed already--I didn't see whatever threads on this, but delight point me to them if this is former news.

I've seen give-and-take here about "solvent traps", and how they tin easily (and illegally) be used to make a silencer by simply shooting through the oil filter. Today, though, I ran across someone selling an oil filter adapter as a registered NFA item. Encounter the "Econo-can" on http://www.americanspecialtyammo.com/Class_III.html.

My question centers on replacing oil filters. Every bit I understand it, ATF has ruled that silencer parts are themselves silencers, and bailiwick to all NFA requirements. Every bit applied here, I'd think that would mean that the finish-user has ii options to replace the filters: (1) pay a taxation, and wait for a stamp, for each replacement filter; or (two) send the device back to the manufacturer to have the filter replaced. Both are completely stupid, of course, and there's substantially no chance that anyone's going to do either of them, only my question isn't about reality, it's near legality. Is there a legal style for the end-user to cheaply supersede the filters? Is there specific ATF guidance on this?

Y'all already know your answer.

(one) pay a taxation, and wait for a postage stamp, for each replacement filter; or (2) send the device back to the manufacturer to accept the filter replaced.

Simply to add to Bough's post, if my memory serves the manufacturer states on their website that they offering the filter replacement as a service for $25.00.

I know a person that has one of these whom I haven't spoken to in a while only he likes the hell out of his. If you just want suppression and aren't worried virtually using your sights or other such nonsense it seems OK as long as you remember that the shipping dorsum and forth to the manufacturer regularly could be a hassle.

Pretty much what I figured, thanks. A friend says that his SOT says in that location's a recent ATF ruling indicating that the finish-user tin supervene upon the filter himself, but neither he nor I accept seen a copy of that, and it doesn't sound right to me.

Your friend or more likely his SOT is total of it.

If there was such a alphabetic character it would be posted EVERYWHERE as this is a hot topic!

Don't think the friend is; he's a pretty straight shooter. Possible, I guess, that he misunderstood what the SOT said, only that doesn't seem too probable in this case. I know nothing about the SOT in question other than that he seems to be giving out bad info, at to the lowest degree on this discipline.

Information technology's interesting to me how much bad legal info gets put out from FFLs/SOTs regarding their own licensed activities. I'd think it'd exist very much in their interest to get the law correct, but it does seem that a lot of them only don't.

It doesn't have to exist the original manufacturer that replaces the filter does information technology? Any 07/02 tin can change out the filter?

Whatsoever 07/02 tin change out the filter.

And so then, if a person were to apply a 'solvent trap adapter' to legally build an oil filter suppressor on a Form one would that person exist able to change the filter since they are the maker?

Absolutely non! ATF rules land that only a "manufacturer" (07/02) tin can do that. The Class 1 builder is a "maker", not a "manufacturer".

+ane

Maker = Approved Form1 holder, one shot deal
Manufacturer = Licensee that is in the business.

Admittedly not! ATF rules state that but a "manufacturer" (07/02) can do that. The Form 1 architect is a "maker", not a "manufacturer".

Right. Which is why I used the term "maker". I'one thousand enlightened of the difference.

So, let's say Mr. Small Autorepair Garageman owns a shop (think service station), personally. Has a wall (say, 134) of oil filters.

He form1s one of these oil filter adapters in his name and using the store accost (so his wife didn't observe out!) and puts an capricious, simply user-friendly oil filter on it when the postage came back. Information technology shoots Great (for about 24 shots)...

ATF pays him a visit, randomly of course.

Does he have 133 unregistered silencer parts on the wall?

Probably non going to happen.

Nope. A silencer is "any device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the written report of a portable firearm,..." A silencer function is "any combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm muffler, and whatever part intended just for employ in such assembly or fabrication."

Since his oil filters are besides oil filters and not intended solely for use in associates of a silencer, he should exist ok. Unless the BATFE shows up and finds those oil filters full of gun powder residue and with a pigsty in the elevation he's not going to take anything to worry near.

I don't see the word "solely"

Reminds me of a story.

A man approaches an intersection. He rushes alee since the pedestrian low-cal is flashing. He makes information technology in time and steps onto the roadway where he is promptly struck by a bus.

"Why didn't you look both ways before crossing?" says a woman that rushes over to the bloody human being.

"The law said that I have the right-of-way.... unnnnnngh."

The ambulance arrives but it is too belatedly. The the woman is sobbing merely manages to explain the sequence of events and the last words of the dying man.

The paramedic pauses for a moment and considers what has merely happened. "He was right," the paramedic says, "but he was all the same a fool."

I have personally witnessed, in many cities, pedestrians that recollect the blinking crosswalk somehow makes them invincible.

"simply" only covers 2nd 1/2 of the judgement.

A silencer part is "whatever combination of parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm muffler[/u], AND whatever part intended merely for use in such associates or fabrication."

Is an oil filter one of the "parts...intended for utilise in assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer"?

"only" only covers second 1/two of the sentence.

Information technology depends on what the definition of "is" is, and whether an "Exchange established by the State" actually ways an "Substitution established past the State OR the Federal government" even though at that place is specific depiction within the law as written...
