What is a Solvent Trap?
A Reliable Solvent Trap Can Help Minimize Firearm Risk and Malfunction
A solvent trap has become a vital firearm maintenance accessory to capture the cleaning fluid for proper disposal. It is typically made of aluminum, steel, or titanium tubing connected to the firearm’s barrel.
Learn About A Solvent Trap
Perhaps you ask why a piece of equipment such as this is recommended for cleaning, especially if you can clean your firearms using traditional methods. Suppose the interior is not adequately cleaned; it malfunctions. In that case, it will potentially become a ticking time bomb, even while the firearm looks excellent.
Routine care procedures are important. Many firearm owners will clean their firearm using traditional methods that do not involve a solvent trap. Still, because of the propensity for the solvent to spread and spill on furniture, skin, and other valuable items, we have learned they tend to help avoid a huge mess.
Solvent traps contain solvent and debris during firearm cleaning which can significantly reduce contact from a users skin. This is one way a solvent trap comes in handy. If you have been using firearms for some time now, you should be aware of the dangers when a user becomes careless or neglect the maintenance of a firearm. It may lead to severe injuries, increased risk and malfunctions which can damage your device.
Solvent Trap Kit Overview - Parts and Functions
A solvent trap kit has parts necessary for cleaning and trapping solvent and there other products for preferential cleaning and dry storage uses of a solvent trap:
The material of all our parts will match the material of the kit purchased, and the durability of the material is to provide the benefits of thread longevity. Reducing wear and tear on thread prolong the products life. The better the material the better the longer you can enjoy the efficiency and effectiveness of the product.
All of our solvent traps will be made of stronger metals as they attach to a muzzle of a firearm and involves threading on and off. For every thread part we offer, from tubes to adaptive solvent trap tubes and end caps to thread protectors, the durability of material allows the parts to thread together perfection. The ends caps thread on flush and tight so solvent and other cleaning liquids are sealed inside without the chance of leaks.
Firearm enthusiasts and forward-thinking storage preppers can choose between our Solvent Trap Tube Kits or our Adaptive Solvent Trap Kit models. If you have interest in using your kit for dry storage during travel or transport, just purchase two end caps and seal both ends of the tube.
In our tube model solvent trap kits, we offer aluminum or titanium which are the most typical materials. Solvent trap cups for dry storage can be used to divide the interior space inside to store particular items or be used as a quick catch and dispose solution during cleaning, allowing users to quickly discard solvent and complete a second round with the same end cap without cleanup, or reattach the end cap to use the solvent trap on a secondary firearm you wish to clean in the same sitting.
The BATFE has officially and publicly defined a solvent trap as a “firearm accessory” that needs no legal paperwork, because they are legitimate cleaning solutions for firearms. For those looking to use them for cleaning or dry storage, you are at the right place.
If you are cleaning an AR15 then you would want to choose a solvent trap of preference with a 1/2×28″ thread protector. A solvent trap is a firearm accessory that you can install on serveral types of firearms to make cleaning a breeze without leaving any messes behind.
The most popular place to purchase a solvent trap is online. Still, you must proceed with caution as there are many illicit or illegitimate companies selling solvent traps that are not legal firearm accessories – nor do they sell them for their intended use. Unlike these companys, our products are sold and intended for cleaning and dry storage, which do not require any modification to use our products properly.
Be sure to do your due diligence by reaching companies, just like you are by reading this article!
Common Malfunctions of a Firearm and Potential Damage
In most situations, if a firearm fails to operate correctly, it is not a manufacturer’s defect. Why? Heavy-duty components are made for firearms longevity or long-term ownership. Not to mention, big-name manufacturers have had many years to perfect their engineering, with companies such as Beretta being over 500 years old.
Manufacturers such as Sig Sauer or Sig Arms, Glock, and Heckler & Koch are known for running stress tests with ten’s of thousands of rounds, only intermittently applying oil during the process to show how they hold up. Others will do this after throwing them in the dirt, the mud, or even the water. With that said, the typical perpetrator is “user error” or “user/owner negligence” when disruption leading to glitches occurs.
Fouling
This happens where inside the firearm’s barrel, lead metal residues from the bullets are left. These leftovers accumulate over time, inducing erosion and rusting. Such a problem will impact the reliability of your firearm.
It is almost worthless when the firearm’s reliability is compromised unless you have it cleaned by a specialist, often a pricey service.
Squib Load or Inappropriate Discharge
Suppose there is not enough force to perform and eject around. In that case, incomplete discharge occurs, allowing it to lodge within the firearm’s muzzle after shooting it. The firearm can explode; this form of failure is dangerous, the residue accumulation triggers this.
Delayed Discharge
Delayed discharge is another malfunction that can cause the firearm to explode. In this scenario, the propellant’s ignition or the device’s triggering action lag is the cause.
Feed and Eject Failure
Two problems may also arise where a firearm is not adequately maintained. After firing, a bullet can fail to feed into the chamber, or a fired round can fail to clear the firearm’s ejection point. A severe problem that often occurs in semi-automatics is the failure to feed and eject. This issue is mostly attributable to mechanical negligence, sometimes user error.
Routine Firearm Maintenance Efficiency
Routine care of your firearms helps avoid malfunctions. Set your standard on how often you would like to clean your devices. Do this in an area where there is plenty of space for this mission. Below are the things you may choose to use to prepare:
- Cleaning rod
- Caliber specific bore brush
- Cleaning swab
- Drain Snakes
- Mini micro fiber clothes
- Utility brushes
- Firearm and reel cloth
- Bore snake
- Solvents and lubricants for cleaning
cleaning kits include thread protectors so you can use a product that will be compatable with your firearm barrel. Currently, we offer between two of the most popular size thread protectors such as 1/2×28″ and 5/8×48″. Sometimes, a solvent trap kit may not contain a specific thread protector with the thread pitch that matches a certain caliber. However, you can order the needed thread protector separately.
You can capture the cleaning chemicals using a plastic bin or drip tray, so it’s less messy to have a solvent trap. Also, because most chemicals used to clean firearms are pricey, the solvent trap will capture them for reuse. If you do a lot of firearm cleaning, this comes in handy.
The Solvent Trap Style and Type Matters Too
Many people think that solvent traps are a new invention, but they have been around for a long time; however, not all of them were a hig quality as today’s modern solvent traps. For example, titanium is a solvent trap for longevity and the threads are made of titanium which are stronger than aluminum. Both titaniunm and stainless steel have anticorrosion properties.
Traditional Solvents Traps
The design of a solvent trap has always been for firearm cleaning, not oil filters for automobiles to trap fluid. Firearm owners have used solvent traps for years as a device to trap cleaning chemicals and debris as it leaves the barell of a firearm. They are affordable because they are simple and straightforward in their construction.
