[QUOTE="JTComfort, post: 1657693, member: 103514"] What you have described is likely in-fact a "suppressor" by definition. A good friend and hunting mate constructed just one such device some years back - a plastic culvert pipe lined with carpeting set up on his bench - it was quite effective in muffling shots. One of his mates - a sherrif's deputy alerted him to the possibility that he had constructed a suppressor and may be violating the law in so using it. I do not know if the NFA branch of BATFE was contacted about this. My inclination is that they would err on the conservative side of the definition. Now, if you were shooting from inside a van or a barn to a remote target that may be different. The construction with intent and portability I would suspect are tipping points. BTW - I do own suppressors and NFA items, so not talking out of my arse. 9 months to wait and $200 tax stamp is not that much for peace of mind and ultimate portability! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
