Regardless of which part of the assembly is the registered part, replacing any parts of a suppressor (other than the endwipes on a model so equipped) is not legal. The BATF has ruled that even replacing the packing (even OWNING material that could be used as replacement packing in a suppressor you own) in a suppressor can get you in legal trouble unless you are legally licensed to manufacture suppressors.

I saw an adapter for putting an oil filter on a gun.

Brian,
A pop bottle can also be used to form a suppressor, so you have.
Hell a towel wrapped around the muzzle does will also(until it burn up).
The first suppressor design I learned was made out of duct tape and toilet paper.
On the legal registered adapters I've not heard about the thing being needed to be mailed back to have the filter changed. Quite certain that wasn't required at first.
It's got nothing to do with "what could be", this thing IS a silencer. No body sells soda bottles and electrical tape and says "This COULD be a silencer but it's NOT (Wink, wink) because you didn't pay the fee, so we know you WON'T (wink, wink) use it as a silencer, even though it's exactly identical to the silencer it would be if you'd payed the fee, but you didn't so, you know, it's not (wink, wink).
To answer Timelinex ? On post 18-
I obviously can not discuss my case on a public internet forum. However, considering the charges against me and no malice was involved lets just say that I was pleased with the outcome.
And anytime since if anybody ever offered for me to shoot their unregistered machine gun or silencer, I steered clear miles from it!! And highly suggested to them to go legal.

Bartholomew Roberts said:There is currently an ongoing lawsuit because BATFE classified the SIG muzzle brake as a firearm suppressor since it would work that way by adding an outer tube and endcap over the existing brake. If they feel that way about a muzzle brake and the amount of work to convert it to a suppressor
I am not a real fan of the NFA or anything, but SIG was clearly trying to flout the NFA with that very long 'muzzle brake' that looks exactly like the internal baffles on a suppressor and is conveniently threaded on the end.
I think after the issue with their arm brace for AR pistols getting a determination letter that shooting with the arm brace on your shoulder did not make it an SBR they thought they might poke around the edges and see what else they could get away with.
