Armory Den sells solvent traps for their intended purposes of firearm cleaning and as dry storage solutions.

Armory Den has been forced to temporarily suspend resources on select products that we previously sold for both cleaning and dry storage solutions as solvent traps were mentioned in the Final Rule 2021R-05F in 2022. This is a business decision we made as do not want to risk compromising the privacy of our customers. The final rule is ambigous, lacks precision and is being challenged for several reasons. Having said this, there is no way for our company to determine which ‘select products’ (temporarily suspended) that we previously sold for cleaning and dry storage are subject to the new rule or not. Although this has been a massive burden for us and an inconvenience to our customers, we do thank you for your patience.

Thank you for choosing to support us through your purchases, we sincerely appreciate your business!

Firearm enthusiasts have used solvent traps for various firearm cleaning and maintenance operations for years. And while these devices can be attached to the threaded end of any firearm, it’s important to use one that is particularly suited for the intended firearm.

Here we’ll showcase some of the best selections in the 1/2x 28 solvent trap range offered by Armory Den. But before we get started, here’s a quick rundown of the different solvent traps offered by Armory Den.

Overview of Armory Den's Solvent Traps

Armory Den offers solvent traps in various thread pitches, including the 1/2×28 and the 5×28 thread pitches, which are the most common firearm thread pitches in the US.
