I have watched folks line up to buy them at many a gun show. Along with FA parts kits and various things that are skirting the edge..

This was at the time when liberal eBay was prohibiting the sale of deadly high-cap machine gun magazine clips.

In his description - "I have THIRTY of these ten round magazines for sale. These are not HIGH CAP MAGAZINES for the 10-22." etc. He got them by eGay for quite a while.
Bah. I just posted a clear picture of the magazine and stated "Holds 10 rounds" and left it at that. Sold everything I wanted to sell.

Nope, he's still got entire suppressors listed out as parts in his other auctions. Those negatives are like only three people really. Each of them bought all the parts to assemble a suppressor, so one bad review basically for each end cap, tube, spacers and washers.
Stupid, stupid NFA items.

I called them, they said they were not the ATF.

My neighbor says hipping is fast and the product arrived as described. He promised pictures when he gets time for a range trip.

A few months ago, a guy posted a "review video" on youtube for a solvent trap on the 10/22. He fires like 4 magazines of various crap through the gun, and comes to the conclusion that it doesn't work very well with anything but subsonics. So I post a comment mentioning that he should probably say that without a tax stamp, using a "solvent trap" in that way meant you had an unregistered suppressor. 4 hours later, video is removed.

I think some people actually might not know they're breaking the law. Unfortunately legal precedence is that ignorance of the law does not equate innocence from the offense.

the funniest part to me is that people are paying THAT much for suppressor parts, just to skirt the law..... it's also funny that when you look at his feed back and you see how many people have bought them....and then you see the same name for EACH part..lol....yeah, stamps are gonna take a few more weeks when they send out that many officers to "talk" to these buyers

How do you know this? Are you able to give us more information or point us to where we can find out more about this?

Mind you, I didn't buy one, but this is incredibly interesting to me. Honestly, it feels like this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this sort of thing unfold.

SC,
out of curiosity - would you advise a client to hand over the parts or keep them & prove legal "intent" ?

Hand over the parts. Its not worth the effort.

Unless you have many $1000s of $$ for attorney fees and want to subject yourself to potential criminal prosecution.

If you have a form 1, I would argue for keeping them.

Nah. They've been selling those for years. The ATF is way too understaffed to effectively manage a sting operation on ebay

You can buy compete "airsoft" silencers from ebay with can, baffles etc for under $50. Look almost exactly like a .22 silencer ;)

And a lot of people just don't care what the law is. There are probably at least as many unlicensed silencers out there as there are licensed ones. My guess is there are probably more unlicensed machineguns that papered once.

I've seen (personally, myself) more than one "Cos-player" technically make an unregistered SBR trying to replicate a stormtroopers rifle. For those that don't know. The first Star Wars was made on a very tight budget. Much of their weapons are just made over WW II surplus weapons.

I like Han Solos Mauser .

I always liked it during Seafair in Seattle when the bunch of drunks riding the float calling themselves the "seafair pirates" would have someone drive their float from bar to bar for two weeks before and during the festival . Half of them were carrying sawed off double barrel shotguns as their "props" . No one cared.

Heres a great endcap for your filter/solvent trap. He also has them with other thread pitches and with unthreaded holes. How handy.
