Dont fool with the oil filter adapters. They are nothing but trouble with the atf. If cost is the concern then start reading up on "solvent trap" kits. You can buy cool end caps, the main tube, thrrad adaptets and the "K" cups all premade. Do an efile form 1, have the tube engraved, drill the cups and end cup oit and you have a suppressor for about $300 plus a tax stamp. OR check out hunter town arms. No fuss, no muss, just decent suppressors for a low price. And to retort the post above, suppressors are awesome and addictive.

Adapter- $65
Napa 4003 Fuel Filter- $40
Kit for Engraving SN- $20
Tax stamp- $200
Total- $325
The only advantage the solvent trap kit could possibly have is longevity, if that. I don't suspect those baffles are made from inconel. I admit I could be wrong.
If I am going to buy a suppressor outright I'm going to save up and buy a Griffin Optimus. One and done.

I have no personal experience with their silencers, but the general consensus seems to be that they're really, really loud. I once looked up "Huntertown" on SilencerTalk.com and this is the first post I found: "I've got a Huntertown 7.62 Kestrel and it was the biggest dissapointment ever. I'm thinking of re-purposing it as a lawnmower muffler, but even then it might be too loud. What a waste of money."Chainsaw. said:check out hunter town arms.

The Huntertown cans are apparently loud enough that there are companies that offer to re-core them to make them closer to what a normal can should sound like. Curtis Tactical is one company who offers to replace Huntertown baffles:

Not all are too big, most work very well.Silencers. Big, bulky, don't work very well,
I agree.PITA regulations,
Not the 22's.too expensive and makes a well balanced compact handgun into a total chunk of junk.
Less noise.Seriously, what's the point?
My 9mm can only cost me about $40 plus tax.It's not like you can take your favorite 9mm handgun and throw tons of cheap rounds down range quietly by screwing on your $1000 silencer.
147 subsonic don't really cost much different than other 125 cartridges to reload.No, you have to spend big bucks on sub-sonic rounds
The 147 subs in a 9mm are lethal, or do they just leave little marks on your skin?which pretty much suck for any purpose other than playing with a silencer pretending it's "quiet".
Wrong again.IMHO, silencers are a big scam.
They make guns less noisy, that's it.I just don't get the infatuation with silencers.
Good.End of rant.

Also, after re-reading this thread, I realize I gave some incorrect information. I was under the impression that only an FFL with a manufacturering SOT can change out silencer parts. But since then I've learned that actually any FFL can change out silencer parts.
