Don't Throw Away Those Old Oil Filters !!

[MikeBjerum]

A plastic soda bottle taped to the barrel works very well.  For one shot anyways.    no I would not recomend trying it, big time illegal.  Besides you don't want to duct tape anything to your gun.   

What have you got against duct tape and guns?

I tape a lot of things to my guns from time to time.

According to a Chicago cop at my sportsman club sometime ago, he confiscated a firearm with suppressor after a shooting.  The FBI or BATF wanted the suppressor to to trace it to the manufacturer and registered owner.  The cop replied to them that it was manufactured by FRAM.  I don't remember what firearm it was, but the oil filter was a direct fit with the threads on the gun.

I find that very hard to beleave.   every thread I have ever seen has been really odd ball thread sizes.

If you have the die you can cut whatever threads you want.

That is assumeing the barrel is close to the correct size.   I doubt you could get it right for a real can.   the threads need to be concentrict to the bore, not the out side of the barrel.   that being said, any  good machinist  could cut the threads on a lathe.   all they would need to know is the size of the thread and about alining it with the bore.

Just think, if you got an oil filter relocation kit from Jeggs you could still use your sights!

I haven't dealt in over the counter parts sales for many years, but a quick trip to the oil filter aisle of a good parts store or Wally World if you choose would find you some of the 1980's model domestic car V-6 filters that were 2.25" diameter long filters.  Those and a tall rings would be perfect!

I call BS on that, all the oil filters I've dealt with were a much larger diameter thread than the outside diameter of a pistol barrel.
Look at the size of the adapter in the OP.
You are not going to put a 2 inch thread on a 1/2 inch barrel, nor will you put a 1/2 inch thread in a 2 inch hole.

Thank you for making my point. When there is a will there is a way....
Besides, the reply was to "really odd ball thread sizes." I find it hard to believe a machinist would think this is a hard project.
