While that may sound good, it may create more of a nightmare situation for her. Multiple possible scenarios at this point, all of which put her in a position much worse than she was in......I said yesterday that recovery may not yield the best result....
That’s not a bad saturation rate but you have to wonder what will happen when she is weaned off the O2 gradually. Still keeping all of you in our thoughts. Gotta mow the @#$&*6(/)”!?<>\^^^ grass today.

Silencers are fun, but a PITA to get. Silencerco (as linked by Mick) tries to make things easy by handling all the paperwork at their "virtual kiosk" but it's still hoops to jump through. The way to go is get a trust so that someone besides you can own it. But you still have to pay $250 (I think) for the Federal tag plus the silencer cost = easily $800 and more like $1200. Then you get to wait 6 months to a year to get the silencer you bought "out of jail" as they say. I may do it, but it's a lot of money for a glorified muffler.

And yes, threaded barrels are readily available.

Easier to use an oil filter.

Bingo..you win the prize. The nursing home may (not sure) readmit her if she's sustainable on 4L but that pretty much means bedridden and constant o2 at a place she doesn't want to be, in worse physical condition than she was. Other scenarios are even worse.
