I remember the 'first' one as being able to thread on an oil filter. Tho I wouldn't suggest storing them in the same box.Ah, that makes sense. I remember when they first started being a thing, and thought the premise of it being used to catch cleaning solvents was just silly.

Theoretically of course, wouldn't the cellulose core catch fire?Yeah, that was my point; the actual NAPA filter has a cellulose core like almost all fuel filters. Of course, these "filters" that go by the same model designation are only similar in external appearance. I suppose someone looked thru a list of auto parts until they found something that looked similar to a suppressor and then ran with it.

I have four traps converted.If you want a silencer pay the tax and don't risk arrest.
Three arrested for completing solvent traps and selling them across state lines. Honestly the solvent traps are only part of the story but it alludes to feds tracking their purchases and payments.
3 men arrested in Boise are accused of modifying guns, mailing them to other states
Federal prosecutors in North Carolina have accused three Boise residents of conspiring to illegally manufacture guns and gun parts before shipping the firearms to North Carolina and Pennsylvania.www.kivitv.com

Well aside from it being illegal if you don't pay the stamp and the FBI tracking who buys them, no. You're right. No problems at all.I have four traps converted.
Don't be an idiot and there is no problem.
Well it is because they built a regulated item. That is one of the things they did but without the stamp that is illegal.It's no longer a solvent trap at that point, it is a silencer. So it is a bit disingenuous to continue to label them as solvent traps.
This thread is about the legality surrounding using a solvent trap as a base for a form one, no one is suggesting otherwise. They are nothing more than a bunch of metal parts unless you start machining them.
the men in the story manufactured and sold regulated items. which is of no relevance to the legality of the item originally in question.
Solvent trap ≠ suppressorWell aside from it being illegal if you don't pay the stamp and the FBI tracking who buys them, no. You're right. No problems at all.
That sounds pretty impressive !My latest 9mm build.

Just like you can build a rifle but not an SBR or fully automatic.
you're in Oregon and you can get the stamp. Just sayn it doesn't pay to risk your gun rights
That sounds pretty impressive !
Was it a cheapy $30-$40 dollar tube kit or something fancier ?
I havent had a form 1 take more than a month in the last 15 years . I think I have around 20 or more Form 1 silencers . I pretty much have one per host by this point if I include my form 4 cans. Solvent traps if a funny term. No one uses them to trap solvent. There are some pretty innovative "80%" silencer designs out there masquerading as solvent traps..Sometimes I register a silencer then have to buy gun parts to build a gun to fire bullets through it. Thats how I ended up with a 338 Spectre last week.
