Luger with threaded barrel - Page 2

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)

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

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

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...

Yeah, I agree. That's not how I would do it either. Just a thought.

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.

But many years ago, I read an article with a bizarre comment that mentioned a pistol with a threaded barrel that was used to set off a 'scuttling charge'...Apparently you would screw the barrel/pistol into a 55 gallon drum full of explosive and set it off with a blank or incendiary ['tracer'] cartridge...Since the trigger would need to be pulled, I can't imagine this setup being very popular...

I know, it sounds preposterous...Take it for what it is...

Many decades ago, while serving in a foreign country (REDACTED), I had the responsibility for a secure room full of classified equipment. The area was a hostile fire zone, but Americans were not being targeted... none the less, we had to be prepared for a total destruction of the room and it's contents. During the year I was there, we had one occasion where our operating situation required preparations for a total destruction. This involved loading all the equipment racks with flat phosphorus destruct devices that were to be triggered by applying an electrical charge of at least 12 volts. We kept a fully charged truck battery by the front door, and should the necessity have occurred where destruction was necessary (for example, if the facility were to be overrun), it was my job as the supervisor to initiate the destruction by attaching two clamps similar to jumper cables to the truck battery and RUN LIKE HECK or turn into a crispy critter.

It was estimated that the temperature of the operations room would rise to about 1000 degrees fahrenheit in about 60 seconds and sustain that temperature for several minutes, also consuming all the oxygen in the room and possibly the entire building... I was VERY glad, we never had to execute that plan. I was never that fast a runner!

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