Armory Den’s Top Selections in Aircraft Aluminum-Based Thread Adapters
One of the major challenges people face when buying firearm accessories is incorrect thread pitch. This challenge stems from firearm barrels having varying thread pitch sizes, which need to match with any accessory attached to its threaded end.
The list of accessories that fall under this category includes solvent traps, which are invaluable for cleaning and maintaining any firearm. However, like most firearm accessories, solvent traps also come in varying thread pitches, which might not fit with the thread pitch of your firearm.
If you’ve ever bought a solvent trap with an incorrect thread pitch for your firearm, you can salvage the situation using a solvent trap adapter, otherwise known as a thread adapter. This will help correct the discrepancy in thread sizes and enable you to use your solvent trap for its intended purpose without purchasing a new one.
So, what exactly is a thread adapter? This guide will explain what a thread adapter is, showcase some of the best thread adapters from top brands like Armory Den, and give you tips on purchasing a thread adapter for your firearm.
A thread adapter is a small cylindrical device used to adapt the thread of one device so that it can be compatible with the thread of another device. In most cases, these adapters are used so that an accessory with a larger thread pitch can be attached to a firearm with a smaller thread pitch.
For example, a thread adapter can be used to attach a 5/8″ x 24 solvent trap to a 1/2″ x 28 firearm thread. This is achieved by screwing the adapter onto the solvent trap and then screwing the assembly onto the firearm.
Most firearms come with an instruction manual that contains all the information you need to know about the thread pitch of your firearm. This will come in handy when shopping for a thread adapter, as you’ll be able to find an adapter with a thread size that perfectly matches that of your firearm.
When appropriately fixed, solvent trap adapters ensure that the cleaning solvent passes seamlessly without leakage from the firearm’s barrel through the solvent trap tube and into the storage cup. This makes it a vital accessory when purchasing and using solvent traps with thread pitch sizes that differ from your firearm’s thread pitch.
Armory Den offers a variety of solvent trap adapters with variable thread pitch sizes that can fit the barrel of your firearm comfortably. Our thread adapters are crafted with high precision tools and made from high-grade 7075 Aircraft Aluminum material that raises the industry bar for all other manufacturers.
