I've pondered the idea of using an off the shelf washer, unmodified, as a baffle. If such a washer were used (and its primary purpose is arguably to be a washer for a bolt), would that fall into the category of an oil filter in that once it is removed it is not a silencer part?
Similarly, if a moderator had a drain plugged by a setscrew or a standard bolt, would removal of such a drain plug be likely to run afoul of things? I don't think a drain plug is a commonly recognized silencer part, although the legal language seems to be pretty open on parts. Or, would a drain plug need to be designed such that it is permanently attached to the moderator with a short cable (like used on ACOG scope caps) or some sort of lever arm or hinge so that removal required cutting?
