    Its legality is questionable at best. Stay away, unless you enjoy forcible buttsex.

    ETA: we have an NFA section for questions like this.

    no it's not. the video shows the "registered" adapter which is treated by the ATF as a suppressor. you pay all the fees, etc., and the filter cartridges are cheap and disposable.

    benefits are cheaper price. cons are "how the hell do you use the sights with that oil filter on the front of my gun?..."
    never push a wrench...

    ATF has ruled repeatedly in the past that you can't possess suppressor components (such as wipes or sacrificial baffles) outside a registered tube. An oil filter is just an oil filter, until ATF decides that owning one in conjunction with one of these adapters is constructive possession of unregistered suppressor parts. And once a shot has been fired through the oil filter, it's definitely a suppressor part, so that leaves ATF a nice big loophole to butt**** somebody for possession of unregistered suppressor parts.

    Buy one if you want, but just be aware you are vulnerable to ATF shenanigans, and maybe even have to surrender it like they did with the RPB MAC Coke-bottle adapters in the 80s. Only this time they'll have a real list of everyone that has one, since they'll be stamped.

    Bad idea, IMO. But do what you want.

    I wouldn't touch one with a 10ft. pole. I don't look good in stripes.

    You can't change the tube of a silencer, even if the serial number is on the end.

    It also may make the spare filter you have in the garage for your truck an unregistered silencer part.

    ATF shenanigans aside, we've all seen them say "It's ok then change their mind" and come out with rulings that are in direct opposition to previous rulings, not to mention laws.

    That said, it is certainly an interesting idea for a makeshift suppressor.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    All of is have unregistered Molotov cocktail components in our kitchen so we're all eventually screwed.

    The part that actually scare me is them shooting the hold out of the bottom of the filter. Having grown up in "hunting country" I've seen plenty of examples of what happens when a barrel is blocked and pressure has no place else to go.

    I'm guessing the oil filter contains those pressures long enough for the escape hole to be made. But I'd still be pretty nervous, especially with stuff like 5.56.
