The Legality of Solvent Traps
Solvent traps are legal to own and sell in the United States when used as intended—as firearm cleaning accessories designed to capture cleaning fluids during bore maintenance. Armory Den’s solvent traps are designed and intended solely for firearms cleaning and storage purposes. Our products require no modification to be used as designed and intended. According to current guidance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), solvent traps are not regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) if they are not modified or intended for use as a device to muffle or diminish the sound of a firearm.
So What Exactly Is A Solvent Trap?
A solvent trap is a firearm cleaning accessory that attaches to a firearm’s muzzle using a properly threaded adapter. Its sole purpose is to capture solvent and debris during bore cleaning, simplifying maintenance and preventing messes. Armory Den’s solvent traps are engineered exclusively for cleaning and storage, with no design features—such as center marks or dimples—that could allow a projectile to pass through or suggest alternative uses. As such, they are not classified as firearms under 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3), ensuring full compliance with federal law when used as intended.
Any modification or misuse is strictly prohibited, voids our return policy, and is the sole responsibility of the owner. We encourage customers to review federal, state, and local NFA laws, or even consult a legal professional to ensure compliance.
