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.

If you go to the website he has listed on ebay, he even states if it doesn't fit your rifle, you can look up UNF adapters to make it fit if it falls in its calliber range. At 1:35 he even says that you can use it on rimfire.

what he says and what it will actually work with pressure wise are two different things.
UNF threads are in 1/2" size a 1/2 x 20 (course thread) not a standard size for u.s military of gunsmith turned bbl's. If it was a UNEF (Extra Fine) threaded then that would be a 1/2 x 28 application.

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.
