1/2x28 Solvent Trap
1/2x28 Solvent Trap, The Legality of Fuel Filter Solvent Traps, How and What to Buy.
Many firearm owners have learned that 1/2×28 solvent traps have the same thread pitch size as many automotive fuel filters. A 1/2×28″ solvent trap is the thread pitch on a firearm cleaning kit’s thread protector that is intended to connect to the firearm barrel that shares this thread pitch, for cleaning.
5/8×24″ and 1/2×28″ thread pitches are the most common for American firearm barrels: From .30 Caliber setups, such as 6.5 Creedmoors, .308s, 300 Blackouts to 9mms, 5.56 NATO/.223 (AR15s) and .22LRs, and more. We would venture to say that 60 to 70% of American firearm calibers using a threaded barrel, use these two aforementioned thread pitches.

Many Firearm Owners Purchase these Auto Parts to Save Money
Many firearm owners purchase these auto parts to save money for either legitamate auto purposes or with the intent of converting them into an unregistered Class III item, without going through the appropriate channels. This act has attracted investigative attention by the ATF/NFA, which has fueled further disproportionate attention to the use of solvent traps, even the legal and intended use has become hindered. You’re probably wondering, “aren’t solvent traps legal”?…
Yes, they absolutely are! Armory Den sells solvent trap for their intended purpose of cleaning. We also sell them as dry storage solutions. If you are looking to purchase our products for these purposes then you are at the right place. But if one’s intention is to modify a solvent trap in order to quiet or dampen a firearm’s report, this first requires an approved Form 1 NFA Tax Stamp from the BATFE/NFA, which will register the item to a serial number selected by the applicant on the Form 1 application. Once the Form 1 Tax Stamp and the associated serial number come back, one can bring the item to a company, FFL 7 Class 2 SOT to have the number engraved and other modifications completed.
Although this form 1 process is legal and constantly improved through innovation (i.e. E-File System) by the ATF/NFA, we do not recommend purchasing our products for this use as we do not recommend modification to our products or respond to inquires outside of cleaning or dry storage.
The Difference Between a Solvent Trap and Auto Oil Filter…
Oil filters are used to extract pollutants from a car’s engine, pollutants that gather over time. Pure auto oil is vital because it could become saturated. Small, hard particles can wear surfaces in the engine if the oil is left unfiltered for some time. You can see how there are similarities between fuel filters and firearm solvent traps and why savvy firearm owners have purchased fuel filters in the past. Most have purchased car fuel filters because there were simply not many viable options nor information online or in the general market for them to use.
The auto part is solely made for use with automobiles. They’re not meant to be a firearm cleaning accessory! Sure they can be made to work, but wouldn’t it be best to clean your firearm and trap residual solvent with a part made specifically for that item and need? Some auto parts purchased to be solvent traps are Napa parts, Napa Freeze Plugs, Wix Fuel Filters, and other fuel filters, all items the ATF has cracked down on tremendously due to previous illicit uses by individuals not properly educated on the legalities.
Avoiding Legal Issues When Cleaning your Firearms with a Solvent Trap
Solvent traps are used to clean firearms and trap solvent. However, because anyone can alter solvent traps to operate as unregistered Gun Control Act of 68′ regulated items, legal questions have emerged about a solvent traps’ intended use.
Legal issues over the use of solvent traps are not all about avoiding hefty fines. It’s about steering clear of felony charges as well. Some tips to prevent legal issues but also taking advantage of the cleaning opportunities that solvent traps offer to owners of firearms are as follows:
Do not Alter The Solvent Trap
A bullet will not move through a solvent trap. As a matter of fact, it would be dangerous for one to discharge a firearm with a solvent trap on it…think about a car driving full speed into a wall, get the picture? Some alterations to a solvent trap that look like they could be designed to allow a shot to escape might raise suspicion; even markings or indications on solvent traps may show “constructive intent” and may be deemed unregistered NFA items due simply to the fact that these markings exist! Ridiculous? Yes, that’s an understatement, but that’s where we find ourselves today.
Be cautious to prevent any adjustments or modifications to the tube, end cap, threaded adapter or if you purchase accessories such as dry storage cups. Adjustments that look like they might allow or facilitate a modification that would then allow a bullet to pass through the firearm’s barrel while using a solvent trap wouldn’t be legal without the proper registration approval from the BATFE obtained through the Form 1 process.
When Using your Firearm, Keep your Solvent Trap at Home
It is still legal to bring your solvent trap with you when shooting at the range, but it is simply not necessary, unless you plan to clean your firearm at the range. This is not a requirement by law, but apparently regulators have grown overly-sensitive to the firearm industry and tubes, even if their own spokesman deem solvent traps unregulated firearm accessories that fall outside of the NFA Handbook or Gun Control Act of 68′ escape apprehension altogether. If you plan to use your solvent trap for cleaning or dry storage, its best to keep it at home to avoid any misunderstandings. There is no reason to bring it to the range or during shooting practice.
It is still legal to bring your solvent trap with you when shooting at the range, but it is simply not necessary, unless you plan to clean your firearm at the range. This is not a requirement by law, but apparently regulators have grown overly-sensitive to anything that is shaped like a tube, even if their own spokesman deem solvent traps unregulated firearm accessories that fall outside of the NFA Handbook or Gun Control Act of 68′ escape apprehension altogether. If it’s not with you while using your firearm, a solvent trap can’t be used as a non-legitimate item.
When purchasing something of this nature, you should use legitimate channels and buy from companies such as Armory Den. Solvent trap cleaning systems like the Adaptive Solvent Trap Kit (AST) and the Solvent Trap Tubes are sturdy and reliable, and most importantly easy to use to get the job done!
