So, I was at the gun show here in Bryan/College Station yesterday and there was a guy there selling these adapters with a sign that said "no ATF paperwork required". My memory thought otherwise and I didn't even bother to look closer except that the prices were cheap.
So I look up the info today and "econo-can" sells the adapters w/filter for something like $75 but very specifically says it will require a Form 4, and when you wear out an oil filter, you must send it back to them to be switched out according to the ATF to keep the serial #'s intact. Then I find more adapters on ebay for less than $20 that are just general thread adapters/bushings and ZERO mention of ATF paperwork.
The first 30 hits on a Google search this morning gave me 30 different views and navigating the ATF site is a nightmare.
Does anyone have an official or semi-official link to the true legality of these things? I might consider one for just shooting around on our new property to keep the neighbors off my butt.
Thanks,
