High fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin?

[quote=Paul F.]Oh, and a legal tip - silencers for air guns that are the same diameter/caliber as firearm calibers are a legally "grey" area, particularly if you OWN a firearm of the same caliber (ie; a .22 cal air gun and a .22 caliber rifle). The ATF has prosecuted people on the assumption that they COULD have violated the law by attaching the silencer to a firearm, even though in other rulings by the technical department they have expressly said "air gun moderators don't count".
(Caveat: the case I recall COULD very well have been a "firearm design" moderator and the defendant was trying to "get away with it" by saying it was for an air rifle... )

This is drifting way off-topic, but when I researched this, the concern of the ATF was if the silencer could be used on a firearm. If you show that the airgun silencer has features intentionally designed to interfere with installation on firearms, then you're good. So reverse threads, non-standard thread pitch, building baffles that only work in a specific assembly, etc. are enough to satisfy the ATF. Local ordinances might trump the ATF stance though. New Jersistan for example has some particularly draconian rules.
Yup... as long as it "can't" be used on a firearm, you're good... (as the owner of a lathe, I put that in quotes, since re-threading a muzzle is pretty trivial, but you get the idea...).
