Do Oil Filter Silencers even work? 

There's just something about the government knowing I have a silencer that bothers me

I'll treat suppressor registration with the same urgency as a folding brace.

Funny how I got an oil and air filter advertisement after watching this video 😂

Hell, I've made a suppressor out of a corncob for a Marlin 22 rifle years ago! All you could hear was the bolt working back and forth! Took about 15 rounds to shoot out before needing another cob!😊 But it sure worked. Cheap also!

Building And Owning An Unregistered NFA Item Is Only "Illegal" IF You Get Caught And In THE EYES Of The Treasonous Government.

They should sell these as "Hearing Protectors" . That should get rid of the "Gov.Tax"

Having the production devices “regulated” to discourage the use of silencers seems silly. The reduction of damaging noise to nearby people is a Good Thing.

Here in Texas you can make em without concern of law enforcement. Gov. Abbott made it legal, along with long knives and brass knuckles.🤠👍💯

The reason why we are supposed to bow to the crown is people like you keep doing it

Anyone not a felon should be able to own anything they wish to own.

Yes, because I just saw a video where a WIX oil filter was used very well as a suppressor.

You can get a smaller can. Just get on google and put in the size oil filter you want. They do make 1 1/2 -2 inches by 6 inch oil filter that are a lil slimmer. And they do make oul filter with metal innthem instead of the card board studf coated stuff or whatever the normal stuff is.

Do u have to shoot the hole out at top?

Fwiw isn’t the standard for the SN placement that it needs to be engraved? I’m not sure that a sharpie SN is compliant.

It it just a empty canister? How do you do this? Thanks

Yeah, I'm gonna pay the govt for an oil filter and give them all my personal info. NOT.

Keep hearing about a solvent trap. Any thing about that?

If it works it ain't stupid

Does a filter silence a 223?

High rise scope mounts

fire up the lathe, do some minor turning, go to the auto parts store, buy yourself an oil filter....just a thought. I would never do anything like that on my lathe🙂

Super i have oilfilter and vz58, what next

2:47. Better hope the ATF doesn’t see THAT

Remember if something is illegal, it’s illegal. Now if something is illegal unless you pay someone that’s extortion.

The quiet part of the oil filter will be good for a short period, due to the gasses ripping the filter material from each shot fired, but yes all I could hear was the action from the gun, click, click . a nice muffler for your gun , the great thing is, there is no reason to have hearing protection as you don't need it, but our beloved government frowns on any furniture you may add to your gun, so if we make cars quiet, why not guns , would make sense. The other part is being taxed for something you already paid a tax on, sounds illegal as hell as that was one of the reasons for the American revolution, no double taxation, and we had the Boston tea party over a 2 cent tax. How sad as we have forgotten the founding principles of this nation, to stop government abuse of power, and here we are today , having to fight for a right we all have just for being natural citizens of this nation. The folks in government forget once you have taken everything we stand to lose and have nothing else to lose, the shit hits the fan , and all bet are off. Sad times we live in ! Stay well and you all be safe out there !

Being that I am a commercial driver at an auto parts store, the hunt is on for the skinniest filter I can find in an attempt to solve the issue of sights being obscured.

Do you have to cover the return holes in the bottom of the filter.??

Its work in sniper rifles.???

There are a lots oil filter in market, which one is usefull for 9mm gun? 3/4”-16? 7/8”-14? Bla bla… ? I could not understand system

How will they really tell the difference between you or the company putting the number on the filter with a sharpie?

CCI Quiets through a 28” barrel.. sounds the same.

Yes they do and they work very well to

So I noticed you're using a Generous Motors AC filter. What kind of GM AC filter is that PF ?

Tongue in Cheek on that oil filter!

Short answer yes.. way better then a ( milspec ) suppressor... But over all bulky and depending on what filter you get you may not be as accurate or be able to See past it!

GREAT VIDEO

Don't suppressor reviews measure the dB sound reduction?

What is the smaller suppressor in the video I couldn’t catch the name

Did you just shoot it thru the end of the filter the first time?

the caveat is that you need to replace the filter every 3000 rounds....😂

In many countries with laws that make owning or bearing a firearm very difficult, owning a suppressor/silencer for your firearms is easy and, in fact, encouraged by the government. This is true in the UK, where using a silencer is just deemed polite and considerate.

*A:* only if you add a down pillow in between.

Can someone clarify this for me: If I have a used oil filter from my truck, a water bottle/empty soda can or WHATEVER.......and I manage to make it hold on the end of my barrel, I have to fill out forms and pay $200 tax stamps to ATF or something?

net wrap in a water bottle works fine

what is your .22 lr rifle on the video ?

There any harm with using them ?

I thought the question was does an oil filter suppressor really work when do we get to that part

Yes rhey work very well

Rectum suppressor?

Sneeze Mr government man may I pretty please have an oil filter

Once again, like in most things, people with land - property, with space & privacy - WIN. If one were inclined to make a silencer of their own, be it a cheap PVC & steel wool type or a solvent trap or oil filter device, if you're shooting the gun in your own barn, for example, and a generic security system prevents people from accessing your property without your knowledge beforehand, why would they worry? It actually goes both ways. The suppressor doesn't leave the person's property, authorities can't access the property without a warrant, so hear no evil, see no evil? What about a person who has an airgun & a house with a makeshift range, and decided to build their own suppressor, to innovate? The suppressor never leaves the basement. Who's the victim? If the entire EU allows & even recommends suppressors and they're some of the best societies on the planet, why is the gov't of either USA, of all places, so intent on regulating them? I'm not talking liberal vs conservative nonsense, I'm talking logically. Why are private citizens restricted in what they do with their guns' decibel levels? In Canada, it's illegal for anyone to even try to suppress any airgun, even the ones getting < 500fps. Every request for reasons, to the gov't from hunting & shooting orgs, is a patronizing "no". Is it poaching they're worried about? Is it discrete pistols hampering police work? Why not allow them only on a range, where a range officer can store it & you check it out for ONLY your session? I'm getting a hunting rifle soon (eastern Canada) and I want at least a 30-06, but maybe a 6.5PRC or 7mm. Most ranges near me restrict their rifle range to .308 and under. Why is it that shooters are trying to simply be good neighbors & putting cans on their higher caliber rifles? How am I supposed to even get good at shooting, let alone zero my scope, if I have to drive 2hrs to the worst range on earth with crap hours? The condescending NO we get every time we offer compromise is infuriating. This is why I respect & admire people finding innovative, discrete ways to make their guns quieter - again, in private, who cares what people do, as long as they aren't hurting anyone?

Ik nobody is sending the filters back with 25 every 300 rounds they are just using a dif one throwing it away and puting the serialized one back on it as a place holder nvr actually shooting through it.

We shouldn't need to file anything to own a silencer period. The government should just piss off. It's ridiculous that anyone needs to register their silencer (even an oil filter) to make their gun quieter.

The only positive might be the price, but why would you use it if it is hard to see around. That’s the biggest drawback to me

Works better if you leave the car attached.

Steven Seagal uses a soda bottle and tape, wonder if he had to pay for a stamp too. 😅

If a weapon was built with an adapter permanently installed surly that would negate the need for it to be serialized. Like one doesn't need to serialize a bayonet lug for a bayonet longer than the legal limit. (then again bayonets are a state thing)

Do a potato next. No guns. Just a potato.

Ok so buy a can, drill a hole and 3d print and adapter

Lol they aren’t for people who are going to pay a tax stamp and register it

Oil filter cans are a SHTF item. Not worth the drawbacks (especially in 5.56) and you are better off having dedicated cans that are properly engineered or designed for that purpose.

So it Works Fun 😊

I do not understand why people insist on making videos with background music where you can not hear the narrator. If you do away with the background music, you would be able to hear what is being said and understand it better. I give it a 2 out of 10 for the loud music.

I can’t just slap a new oil filter on there? Wtf is even the point

I don't ask my employees for permission. No victim no crime.

The hassle keeps most people from owning one, which is a violation of the 2nd amendment. If I tax stamp a potato, do I have to send it back to the farmer in Idaho for a new one after shot #1?

The only way any suppressor will work is if you use sub sonic rounds!

no tax fee in tx

I don't think they're called silencers I think they're called suppressors. 😢

Old skool way, put a Potato on the barrel.

💥💥👍👍

Tax stamps. Reason for the Boston tea party… remember that

Or you can just buy a thread adapter (or make one) and tell the government to piss off.

At the end of the day,,,its still all about the MONEY...

Shall not be infringed. So why all these permits and paper work.

Yes do not own an oil filter without asking your gov!

I would chose a oil filter silencer because there's no USD$200 tax or any wait time for paperwork here 😃

YOUR NAME WON'T BE ON THE THREE LETTERS LIST, THAT ALONE IS A PLUS !!

Me thinks this channel ran by feds.

80%of his comments were on the expense and inconvenience of the oil filter, and only 20% on how they actually work. So, to answer the question, "Do Oil Filter Silencers even work?" The answer is a simple, "Yes, They do."

Cad-is Cadiz.

1st off I'm not paying the gooberment any more than they already take. I already know that a oil filter silencer doesn't work, I've seen it fail before 30 rounds were fired. I just assume my guns be as loud as they can be, it keeps people away.

Personally I don't think it's worth it

works for me and my friend.

I almost died from an oil filter

The background music on this video should have been suppressed.

Will not pay an illegal tax on anything from a piece of bubblegum or anything

😊 thank you

Sorry I'm not asking for permission

Nice

No

So how many miles before you have to change 🤔 Excuse me how many shots before you have to change your oil filter some tell me 3000 I prefer 4000 miles. Sorry, I mean shots.🤣

Who here from beastys mw videos?

What a RIP OFF ! Make your own.

No way , I’ve got a purpose built moderator and it is perfect for the job . Why would you even consider using a oil / fuel filter . It doesn’t make sense .

Stop self snitching

You don't hate the ATF enough. You think you do, but you don't. Like so much of government, they gave us a solution in search of a problem. They could do something marginally less asinine. They serialize the adapter, and make the modified oil filters a consumable, non-tracked item. Why TF not? But if we start going down that dangerous road, we might start to think: why TF do we need any of this? What good does any of this BS do, besides $200 stamps?

It always baffled me why you need to do the expensive paperwork JUST to let the government know you have a silencer?!? Are you going to invite the ATF to be present when you "need" to use it? Just make it, use it, meet your goal, hide it or throw it away. Which is (the 'throw it away') what makes the oil filters so appealing. Btw, the filter material will start deteriorate after extensive use but it will not be blown back in the chamber, why these m.o.r.o.n.s always say that (as a scare tactic maybe) I have no clue. True, it works best with the small calibers, i.e. a 22LR subsonic is for practical purposes inaudible, all you hear is the rifle mechanism cycling. Just inspect the filter's insides every so often. Come on, that's a no brainer, did not need a YT video for all this.

Scam lol. 100 bucks for that then 25 after that ? Who ever own the company is making to much profit with that shit.
