When you get ATF Comes Knocking

[Damaged Eagle]

ATF agent: Oh my God! You bought a coffee can just like in that Tom Clancy book and are possibly making a suppressor for your AR-15, or some other rifle, out of it and we're the ATF here to confiscate it before that happens. Do you have any bamboo tiki torches? We'll have to confiscate those also before you start making leg traps that skewer a persons foot like they did in Viet Nam.

Citizen: Do the letters FO mean anything to you?

*****CHUCKLE*****

Sounds like a very useful item.

A luxury accessory for people who use too much solvent. A wetted patch or swab is usually all it takes to soak the bore. Some of us aren't anal about cleaning guns, as long as you keep them properly lubed. Besides, they tend to be more accurate after a couple "fouling shots."

For cleaning a gun barrel and recovering the solvent

I like a bore snake and CLP or cleaning rod with patches, Hopps #9 bore cleaner and then CLP, myself. Rarely use a bore brush (except on pistol) and always clean the same day I go to the range. Any weapon in the house would pass inspection.

The ATF in this case had no entry power to search or confiscate, apparently. They are hoping that intimidation and compliance will do the job for them.

Confiscating a legal item out of a fear it my be used illegally is pretty shaky ground. Based on that logic, you could impound a vehicle with performance enhancements because it could be used to speed.

 

[Seymour Flops]

The incredible arrogance of those guys.

I wish I had this guy's balls, but sadly, I don't.

Someday their defense will be, "I was only following orders"

"Dude! Hey look at this Tik Tok video I found" "Do you think it's real?"

"I don't know man, but that guys got balls"

"Yeah, If this shit ever happens to me, I'm gonna remember what that guy did"

Bidens useful idiots must defend the cult

I heard that a Marxist up close to the barrel of the weapon, makes a great silencer..

 

[fncceo]

I've always been amused by the hysteria around "silencers". First of all, they don't make a firearm silent in the least. Nothing like what they are portrayed to do in movies and on TV.

Second, in some places, most of Europe for example, "silencers" AKA "noise suppressors" are REQUIRED for hunting.

As already correctly noted, there’s nothing confirming this is actually an ATF ‘agent.’

A search comes up with only crazy rightwing fake news sites, loony rightwing gun blogs, and other unreliable rightwing sources.

A one-piece carbon fiber cleaning rod – the segmented cleaning rods run the risk of damaging the crown.

It's not true unless you see it on MSLSD

I'm not a huge fan of Tik Tok. I don't use it myself. However, I never considered Tik Tok to be a "loony right wing gun blog"...

The video was most likely made for clicks. Who knows.

If you own a diesel you would know that solvent traps are fuel filters. But if you're an idiot getting caught with one fitted for a gun barrel without registering, you are screwed. Class H felony.

 

[ReinyDays]

In a similar situation someone actually called the local police department and told them someone came to his door impersonating a police officer

The main one to look out for is top quality counterfeit IRS letterhead demanding more money ...

Like CNN and MSLSD and anyone with a web presence?

Only if you order them from foreign sources. They seize them at customs. Even that being the case, it is not worth the risk. Better to either file the proper form and pay the tax hit or get creative with your lathe.
