Right! Who's to say it's even real.I guess it could, since there are companies that make fake suppressors.

I can't cite any specific cases, but "constructive intent" is real. IMO, it's pretty vague and allows them too much leeway for their own interpretation of whether a law was actually broken. Sort of like if a man has a penis, then he could be considered a rapist!
I think it (constructive intent) may be a pretense for a warrant. Like, if you can be shown to have bought an auto sear, it is reasonable to assume you will use it in the construction of a class 3 weapon. If you don't have a tax stamp (which is easily discernable) then you "may" have a problem. Especially if you have a receiver and other parts that could be used to "construct" a functional class 3 weapon. If other criminal activity is discovered subsequent to the service of the warrant......well, there you go. Just my own opining.
Auto sears can also be made out of paper clips. Have I done it? No. Will I do it? No.Only problem with that argument is the sear is the machinegun.
The solvent trap is not a suppressor.
Exactly. Search YouTube videos, and there is no shortage of items that people have used to construct a suppressor, and many of them are very common items.Only problem with that argument is the sear is the machinegun.

The point is you can modify a lot of things into other than the intended purpose and having all of the necessary components together in one place may demonstrate "constructive intent" in a federal court.
I would personally be careful about having a kit like that......and suspicious about the source of the kit.
Just my opinion. YMMV
It's legal to buy all the parts. Because it is legal to make one once you file a form 1 it's approved and you pay $200I guess I don't get your point.
If you turn a paperclip into a sear then you have created a machine gun that is illegal. Unless you have the correct license.
If you do not modify a paper clip its just a paper clip
If you have a solvent trap or oil filter adapter and filters then that is what you have. Now if the trap or filter has a hole though it you have created a suppressor and again without the proper paperwork you could meet bubba.
I am not a NFA attorney and do not think the law is clear or proven on if its legal to buy parts to make a suppressor so do so at your own risk.
As far as I know how the laws are written NOW its perfectly fine to own any type of solvent trap as long as you leave it a solvent trap.
This guy is fun.
Nope. Not mad at all about the price of the suppressor. The $200 tax on the other hand.......People are probably just mad they paid $800+ for a suppressor when they could have form1'd this themselves.
I dont see how owning an undrilled solvent trap is "constructive intent " to build a suppressor, any more than owning a stripped lower shows intent to building an SBR."Constructive intent" is a thing with BATFE.....even if you don't intend to construct.

Environmentalist will love it!Perfectly legal. Solvent traps are a great way to lower your chemical waste output and recycle costly solvents. Every gun owner should have, and use them, regularly.
