Not finding any regulation on the misuse of oil filters … yet.

  They make pretty decent silencers when affixed to the muzzle of a gun, and suddenly become an NFA item. I know a guy with a diesel repair shop who bought a “suspicious” number of filters off Amazon at once. A couple suits showed up at his door asking about them. We totally live in a surveillance state, and Amazon feeds your purchase history into it.

      Seems it wasn’t just “possession of an oil filter silencer”: > Candelario sold and manufactured AR-15 style assault rifles in Maryland without a license. The ATF caught Candelario by using an anonymous man to purchase the firearms in a gas station parking lot. This agent purchased six rifles, as well as two fuel filter silencers.

  It is issued in the form of enforcement action by the ATF. The recent SC ruling on regulatory agencies may change this some.

  the "fuel filter" thing with the right other stuff is constructive possession even if u dont build it.

  Constructive intent is what the ATF claims (and wins in court).

  According the the NFA, anything you use as a suppressor, is a suppressor. Be it an empty bottle, an oil filter, or a potato (yes, really).
