Be careful with that adapter. While it's fun...I'll continue to rent legal suppresors.
Why risk a felony over a novelty.

There is a company that sells the adapters with the intent of suppression. They are $75 and are require to be registered.
What I don't get is how your gun shop/firing range can rent those. If possession of a suppressor is illegal, you'll have signed a rental agreement supporting that you in fact did possess and use a suppressor. There is no federal exception for using someone else's tax stamped suppressor at a gun range....... if YOU don't have the tax stamp, seems to me the law places you in violation......? And I'd be REALLY surprised that the Feds would allow a business to acquire a tax stamp and then make money from it.
I assume you're referring to the link in that article of the man that got 2 years supervised probation for possessing a homemade silencer?
Yeah, I think he got the sentence he got because the silencer wasn't the ONLY thing he was doing illegally..........
