Somebody on Gunbroker is asking for trouble, ATF style!

there are provisions in place for using the device on an air rifle or 1/2 the people on air rifle forums would be in jail.

Hmm, I'm not an expert on the provisions of airguns, but I do know that those baffles WILL reduce a db or more when and if the BATF would test that "muzzle break".

So without it registered and $200 tax stamp you would be in some hot water.
Like this guy.

Why use that as an example? His case was thrown out, and his conviction overturned.

...and it cost him nothing? No hot water? My point is if someone were to purchase that "muzzle break" on ebay, that the BATF would no doubt consider it a "silencer" and unregistered. With it's unattached state, threaded in 1/2" and the sellers video stating that it CAN be used on a .22 would probably be a good case for the feds.

So,was dudes case thrown out? I didn't know it was thrown out, didn't bother following the whole story, because the simple fact there was a case is enough for me to steer clear. So what did it cost him? More time than the form 4 wait I'm sure, and more money than $200.

Ebay Silencer

There are always some good mall ninja deals that are in the gray area on the web...like this silencer, cough, cough, I mean muzzle break.

That's crazy, the add even reports a of a noise reduction. Even if it reduces the sound by the minutest bit, it is a silencer.

I though you guys were talking about tacos.

Yeah... I got the idea... But... It was a bad example... He had alot more legal issues than having an airgun silencer...

"In April 2004, Crooker-who had previously been convicted of a felony-was engaged in offering chemicals for sale"

"The conviction is reversed and the case remanded for the entry of a judgment of acquittal."

"The device was apparently home-made at Crooker's request and made to fit to an airgun that Crooker also possessed.   The evidence is very thin-and anyway the government did not try to prove-that Crooker expected this device to be fitted with an adapter or used in any way except as a muffler for the airgun with which it was shipped."
