And yes, the rules are rather ridiculous, from our perspective, but if you are a regulatory agency they make great sense. They are so incredibly sweeping as to be effectively all encompassing when it comes to what fits into the definition of what constitutes a silencer or silencer parts. In essence if you have a two liter bottle of coke, a box of tissue, and a roll of duct tape in the same location as a firearm the BATF could make a case that you had intent to make a silencer. Pretty dang stupid, but that still wouldn't prevent you from having to defend yourself in court.
