eBay Suppressors?

[nubbinator]

I was bouncing around on eBay look at stuff when I stumbled across a couple of products that left me wondering how the hell they're legal.

For example, look at this "muzzle brake". A decent number of the sellers also sell "Maglite D Cell adapters" (or "solvent traps")that are, for some reason, threaded in common rifle thread pitches and, often times, coupled with a "Maglite tube" and "dry storage cups". Many of the so called cups are clearly designed to be drilled out to common calibers.

How is this legal?

Don't get me wrong, I think suppressors should be legal and easy to purchase, but these clearly appear to be NFA items sold on eBay.

Yup. Looks like what it takes to make a crappy diy suppressor. I mean . . . looks legit.

Because those parts completely make sense to own otherwise.

Lol so the USA has to deal with ITAR and i can't sell a toy red dot scope imported from china back overseas and they are doing THIS!

Lmao! wow, free trade does make money...

I think they are legal because in the configuration they sell them, you can't use them as a functional suppressor. I guess you can consider them the same as 80% lowers, so close to being functional but as they sit, they are just paperweights. Tax stamp is needed before you make any holes in any of those parts.

I think you can make your own supressor but have to get approval. Like how you can turn something into a SBR/S

Some guy is selling washers, metal tubes, and a few other nick nacks. What is wrong with that?

Any one wanting to make a funny device can buy the same things from many industrial suppliers.

Just because it can be done, does not mean one should do something illegal.

You can go buy a threaded rod that fits an oil filter at a parts store

Laws only apply to the law abiding

OP you sound just like a Libitard! It's an 80% item, who gives a funk. Move along don't make a deal out of nothing. Those are legal in free states.

In before the goofballs who adamantly insist that a “solvent trap” is somehow a real thing, and its all totally legit, and how do you know what people are going to do with it.

In before the "shall not be infringed but hey here's a law some douche made among 20,000+ other gun laws and you're totally breaking it so I'm a cool guy and you're a jackass because laws are more important than reality" goofballs.

Damnit my minority report drone gave me bad info and I was late, totally your fault.
