Which Can?

[Netpackrat]

Bullshit. Bowers does a huge oversized thread in the back of their cans, which you then can use various adapter bushings tit to individual guns.

Internal parts are another matter.

I didn't go any deeper into the issue than what I could get from perusing various NFA fora, but one thing I saw mentioned repeatedly, is that in the case of the cans you can buy that accept different end caps, the can manufacturers have a letter from the ATF that says the adapters they make for that specific model of can, are not suppressor parts in and of themselves. The distinction I saw being made, was based on whether said end cap/adapter also functioned to hold the internals in. If it did, then the end cap was treated as a suppressor part, and having more of them than you had approved suppressors was double plus ungood.

Take that for what it is worth... I don't claim to be an authority, that was just what I found when I looked into it at those other places.

Does anyone out there do a good clamp-on device for non-threaded barrels? I've a .22 rifle I'd eventually want to put one on, but it's got a blade front sight and no threading..

I don't think so. Would it be possible to have a gunsmith do something like I had done to my CZ527? My smith removed the front sight base, threaded the barrel, and re-mounted the sight base behind the threads.

Form1?

check sd tactical out for a solvent trap to get ideas for your form 1?

Recently we have had several clients contact us about purchasing these “solvent trap parts” and using them to make a Suppressor with a Form 1. Apparently there is someone marketing these parts including baffles as a solvent trap to be used for gun cleaning. It would not surprise me, if ATF shut down the ability of companies to sell parts as cleaning kits or solvent traps and then began targeting the customers of these parts in much the same way as the ATF continues to contact the customers of the companies who previously sold them eBay.

ATF has taken the position, in the past, that a part to a suppressor is a suppressor and under this theory, if you purchase these parts, the parts may in and of themselves be considered suppressors. Paying the tax stamp on a Form 1 does give you the permission to manufacture a suppressor, but not necessary to purchase a suppressor manufactured by someone else. We would caution clients who are considering manufacturing their own suppressors from parts that ATF considers a suppressor as the purchase of these parts may require an approved Form 4.

I finally broke down and sent in two paper form 1's for supressors. I'll let yall know how it goes but I don't expect to hear back before August, guess that my buy a gun day purchase for the year.

So check was cashed April 21, Approved Aug 25, Received today paper form1 so I have real stamps, although they're the peal and sticks now. Just letting you know the processing times now.

Thanks, so maybe sometime this month, given my check was cashed the 5th or 6th of May. I have had my Form 1 (efiled) paperwork back for a few weeks now.

Given some of the drama surrounding their move to Huntsville, I'm no longer sure that getting the AAC can was necessarily the best choice in terms of getting it serviced later on, but only time will tell how well they settle in to the new digs.

I am continuously amazed that the Constitutionality of this sort of thing has never been questioned.

Eventually most people will start following the laws to the same extent as the government does.

I've tried to gently warn some of the liberal types I know that actually have some integrity, about that sort of thing. That their support for lawless leaders because side matters more than the law, is a bad precedent to set, when the other side is numerous and has all the guns.

A year later, I'm *still* waiting for the ATF to fix their screwup with the serial number on my stamp so I can take ownership of my Osprey 45.
