Luger with threaded barrel - Page 2

sheepherder · 02-07-2014, 09:42 AM

Some years back, there was an adapter that you could screw on a barrel and the adapter accepted 2-liter soda bottles that served as a suppressor (at least for the first shot, maybe two)...IIRC, the barrel thread was coarse, not fine...

Not exactly clandestine...People might wonder why you're carrying around an empty soda bottle...

The thread all depends on the weapon. The 1/2 x 28tpi is pretty much a standard, due to the popularity of the AR15/M16 platform, but MACs, for example, have a much courser, steeper thread. Many modern suppressors use a quick detach feature via a proprietary flashider, which replaced the stock unit. Others fit over the existing flashider and the MP5 series uses a unique, three lug system.

Those soda bottle adapters were disallowed by ATF and any similar adapter must now be registered. While they were around, you could place a quart sized soda bottle filled with styrofoam peanuts onto an AR15 with a .22 caliber conversion unit and have a really effective suppressor. They would last until you decided to throw the bottle away.

BTW, I'VE HEARD that a standard, quart-sized soda bottle will fit right onto a birdcage AR flashider with NO adapter necessary, (especially the early three pronged type) and will work just as described above with a .22 platform.

They make an adapter today that screws on oil filters. It itself is registered as a suppresser. They are also sold in non suppresser legal states as attachments for oil filter for catch cans for wipes when cleaning guns. (Do not shoot with it)

I had to think about this for a couple hours...(It takes me a while to shift mental gears)...You're saying that you can now screw on an automotive oil filter???

The 2-liter soda bottle was bad enough...Getting caught with an oil filter with a hole in the bottom of it is pretty obvious...

Female suppressor thread one end, male oil filter thread the other end. One of the local dealers sells those, and he said that the licenced suppressor actually consists of the adapter and the filter. He also said that the filters don't last very long, so you have to save the filter that comes with it, and use a filter from the parts store when you shoot. I'm sure that the ATF agents are scratching their heads over this one...

Yes, I know the guy that makes these. He is on thin ground with ATF.

The 'solvent trap' is being advertised in Shotgun News...

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I remember the ads from Cobrey years ago advertising the soda bottle adapters: "replacement wipers available at your local 7=11". TH

Sheepherder look up the pil filter adapter on you tube. Over on gunco theres a guy that made a nice supressor out of a wix fuel filter, freezeplugs and a few thread adapters. He posted up that it clst him a total or $51 to build it plus the $200 taxstamp. Jim

The thread form listed in "Borchardt & Lugers" is 14x1.5 for mounting a silencer. I have observed a similar Luger with a 1/2in-20tpi UNF machined mussel end. A 1/2in-28tpi is a UNEF, extra fine.

These goobers make it so much harder for the rest of us.
