Yup that thing is pretty much useless and just a great way to get the BATF all over you. I'd rather save for the real thing.
Got it out of the catalogue when I was with D.C. SWAT. We called it "Gucciflage"
I remember similar gizmos they used to sell to thread 2L plastic bottles onto pistols.

Heck, you fellars mean that my 100 mile 'n' hour taped on 1 liter bottle (its a real space saver over the 2 liter) filled with spray foam sealant isnt legal?????????
Just in case BATF reads this, I should clarify that I dont do this.
the thing i see is the weight of the oil cans ruining the slide and barrel on a semi auto pistol. how much silencing is done compared to a real spressor?

Definitely NOT legal to change the filter.
"Q: If the outer tube is destroyed or damaged beyond repair, may it be replaced?
...the replacement of the outer tube amounts to the making of a new silencer. For the registered owner to fabricate a new outer tube, he or she must submit an ATF Form 1 (5320.1), Application to Make and Register a Firearm, pay the making tax of $200, and receive ATF approval."

Good question, hows "Not enough" for an answer?
Thinking about it, why would you need the adapter? There are oil filters out there with a 5/8s thread, I know some are a 18 thread but Ill bet you there is one or two that are 24 thread. Have to use a fuel filter for a 1/2x28 thread but I bet that is out there somewhere too. I would not advise using it on a pistol, the filters would be a bit to heavy and maybe bind the slide or cause wear issues.
Hmm... Looks like a GM Diesel Truck filter is 5/8x18, no 5/8x24 common (available at NAPA) filters. You can specail order them though.... So when does packing a spare oil filter become intent???
