Interesting fuel filter

Good find, but I don't think a fabricated silencer counts when we're discussing legally owning them. Legal or illegal, anybody can fabricate them, that shouldn't have any bearing on our laws.

I agree entirely. It would be interesting to see the statistics for the UK and NZ where suppressors were used or not in commission of a crime. My feeling is that they are not used despite being readily available.

Mate that's different than the picture posted by blade

I may've missed your point but the filter in question is part no. 24003. You've quoted part no. 42003...an entirely different animal

Colin Winchester with a suppressed 10/22 in the 80's.

Interesting - It was back when they were legal to possess.

I don't know about ACT but they were still legal in the early eighties in SA - $20 each, often a boxfull of them on the counter beside the till for impulse buyers

Were they the GSA models? Pretty sure they had 'Made in Australia - stop noise pollution' stamped on the body to give an idea of the more sensible thinking of yore.

I really don't remember as I never actually used it, I wasn't equipped or capable of threading a barrel back then
It was quite compact, maybe eight-inches long and an inch diameter, all blued steel, with threaded end caps. The threaded end had a short extension to fit the barrel thread. I left it in Adelaide when I went back to Perth in '85.

They sold slip on adapters for common rifles too so you didn't have to thread. I nearly bought one when in Adelaide in the mid-late 80's but luckily didn't as they were not legal in Victoria at the time.

Haha! Don't mean to be nit picky...let's call it a draw
