If we were watching Kevin Costner in the Postman, Genius,

The Kids in Red Dawn, Genius

Any post apocalyptic scifi movie, genius,

For any other reason, gimmick and not something I would want to be caught with. Just like the soda bottle adapter.... which I believe the mount is a controlled item with this correct ?

What's next, selling potatoes as the "assassins choice" in vegetables ?

I was actually discussing this with a guy today. The guy might make a buck or two selling these but it isn't for me.

Ghetto looking to me. I would never put an oil filter on the front of any of my firearms. I prize them more than that.

Hell, can you imagine all the Taliban rolling down the sides of the mountains dieing from laughing their asses off!!! It's BAD enough that someone actually thought this abortion up but to actually have enough testicular fortitude to show their face on Boob Tube trying to sell this crap.I bet ATF are still rolling in the isles laughing!!!

Yeah, I wonder what a higher caliber would do to the can? Anyone willing to try and post a vid?

Theoretically you could get a bigger can. Like one from an over-the-road truck.

They work, and a lot better than some of the $300+ cans out there!

Just because it's not doped out and in 'tactical black' doesn't mean it won't work. Depending on what filter you buy, some act like a 'wipe' can and others are a vented type can.

Cut open an oil filter and you will see that they are the exact same design as a suppressor.

Re: gimmick or genius? discus among yourselves

Just remember don't try and recycle a used oil filter, lol. I wonder if it has a warning label for that?

 

[Short-bus]

Re: gimmick or genius? discus among yourselves

Next thing you know where going to have to pay a $200 tax stamp and wait 6 months to get an oil filter for our cars.

Re: gimmick or genius? discus among yourselves

I wonder what size sights are needed to use one on my 1911? Or maybe, you get a free nc star laser if you act now. My oil filter looks nothing like mt tirant 45 on the inside.

Re: gimmick or genius? discus among yourselves

sights are easy-- just put a magnet on the bottom of your eotech and you are good to go. slap it on the oil filter and shoot!

Re: gimmick or genius? discus among yourselves

For a 22 I'd get one

 

[Fortified Peasant]

Re: gimmick or genius? discus among yourselves

Even if the make shift suprressor was free, I would still not pay $200 to use an oil filter as a can.

Gimmick but genius. I bet you could find a very cheap double female adapter at tacoma screw...
