Why Avoid Knock Off Solvent Trap Parts?

Everyone wants to save money. With some products purchased being lower quality knock-off versions, is a perfectly harmless way to save a few bucks. With firearms and their accessories, however, this is almost never the case. In fact, if you choose to purchase lower-quality products, you could be placing yourself at risk in a multitude of different ways, from a safety perspective as well as from a legal one. Everything sold by Armory Den is proprietary, so beware of replicas and clones that use lower quality composite metals that are marketed as higher quality metals, very low-quality finish that wears easily on a single-use, and cross-threading and thread mismatches that cause solvent leakage!

Let’s take a look at a few reasons why you should avoid knock-off solvent trap parts at all costs.

The first reason is obvious. As with many low-cost replicas, the reason why they’re so affordable is that the manufacturer likely cut corners in terms of the materials they used. For instance, many knock-off solvent trap parts are diluted with cheaper metal composites.

As a result, their ability to perform as intended can be significantly compromised when it comes to anti-corrosion At best, they won’t last long, and you’ll end up having to purchase replacement parts continuously. At worst, they’ll malfunction and potentially cause harm to you and/or damage to your firearm.

Also, Armory Den’s Type III Anodized finish is second to none and allows the solvent trap to hold up to the strong chemical corrosions that pass through the aluminum solvent traps.

Cleaning your firearm regularly can enhance performance and help improve safety and reliability. One of the benefits of using a quality solvent trap to clean a firearm is that it prevents the solvent fluid from leaking out and coming into contact with your skin. Many cleaning solvents contain dangerous and toxic ingredients that, while highly effective in cleaning a firearm, can be harmful if not handled properly. Using a high-quality solvent trap helps to protect you from this risk.

With knock-off solvent trap parts, on the other hand, there’s an increased risk that they will not adequately contain the solvent, which means there’s a greater chance of exposure to harmful chemicals. The best materials for solvent trap parts are stainless steel and titanium, which provide superior strength, liability, and resistance to corrosion.

Low-quality knockoffs will have cross-threading, grinding when threading the solvent trap cups, thread protectors, and end caps and eventually lead to leakage of solvent; obviously, this defeats the entire point of purchasing a solvent trap.

For obvious reasons, there are strict regulations with regards to the ownership and use of a firearm. Solvent traps are a Firearm Cleaning Accessory and are not regulated under the Gun Control Act of 1968, which assists in the regulatory rule and lawmaking for firearm parts and firearms themselves.

Armory Den only sells solvent trap cleaning solutions and there are many disclaimers and warnings on www.armoryden.com along with pop-ups, e-mail disclaimers, Terms & Conditions and more, where Armory Den explains that they should not be modified as this may put a customer into a situation where they are no longer an accessory but something more. It’s not only alternating the factory state of the solvent trap cleaning kits that can land you in prison but purchasing them from a source that sells knock-off versions with certain characteristics that indicate they are not solvent traps nor intended to remain solvent traps.

Some online knockoff sellers do not know, but others simply don’t care and will sell these low-quality knockoffs just to make as much money as they can – the only person being at the most risk is you!
