Sound suppressor being sold on ebay?

[spyder]

So anyway, I was just surfin lookin for a new flash suppressor and I came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=260755028362

WTF? Someone is selling a sound suppressor on ebay? 1/2 UNF threads is the only description given as to its fit.

And with that BS, I'm going to bed.

Airsoft.

It's 1/2 inch though, wouldn't that be to easy to adapt?

It says its for airguns, so I'm sure that's how it's "legal". And it's polished aluminum so it isn't evil.
Looks like it'll fit .17, .22, and .25 calibers though.... and anything inbetween, so I suppose one could adapt it for an AR.

The seller is located in Nicosia, Cyprus. It's not a U.S. NFA issue.

Considering the all aluminum construction, I am pretty sure if you tried to adapt this to an AR your first trip to the range with it would be filled with disappointment.

it isn't US so atf can't do anything. now if he ships one to the US, then there might be issues, more than likely for the buyer though.

ehh, only if the buyer uses an adapter and bolts it to a weapon governed by the ATF.
as designed, manufactured and sold, I dont believe it would fall into their jurisdiction. Like anything though, there is potential for modification and abuse.

If it can be made to function as a firearm sound suppressor (and that one will), then it's a firearm sound suppressor, and subject to the NFA in the USA. That the thread is not a standard firearm barrel thread doesn't matter.

Hell, ATF has declared some airsoft receivers to be machineguns because they could be adapted to work with an AR-15 upper assembly and discharge a shot, though that's certainly not what they're designed, intended to be, or generally used for.

and yet they sell steel wool, steel cans, brazing rods and nuts all day long at ace hardware.
