[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2813274, member: 123604"] They have some poorly defined idea of when something goes from raw material to silencer. It seems like raw materials, like a block of aluminum from McMaster, isn't considered a silencer. Once you do any operation to it with the intent of making a silencer it becomes a silencer. They haven't made any kind of official statement to that effect though. There's screenshots online of email thread between the owner of Quiet Bore and someone who's supposedly an ATF examiner. The owner of Quiet Bore posted them when this all went down last year. The examiner claims that a piece of pipe from Home Depot isn't a silencer, but once you cut a 6" section off with the intent of making a silencer it becomes a silencer. As far as I'm aware those emails have never been authenticated, so I can't say whether or not they were actually from an ATF examiner. [/QUOTE]
