What is a Solvent Trap?

Armory Den = HELL YEA! 🙂 Finally a company who doesn't rip people off. I searched forever for a trap kit that matches industry design and option. Ran into tons of scam sites until now. I bought the 304 Steel Adaptive Trap (10" inch) and that was on a Friday. That same night or the next day they already had USPS label from Florida and it shipped out that same day! Armory Den is the best site out of all the knock off scams or just plain fraudulent sites claiming to sell traps. Everything from their shipping to the transparency of sells via Stripe payment, keeps reputation in the front seat. Thank you whoever runs Armory Den. You are doing so many people favors. Your prices are cheapest along with design and materials offered. Its China that makes knock offs and Armory Den DONT PRODUCE OR SELL THAT GARBAGE. (P.S. stay away from Solvent Traps Direct).

Amazing! Absolutely thrilled with the level of customer service. Anytime I had a question they respond very quickly and always answer my questions completely. I love their packaging. While it may be somewhat difficult to get to their products through all the packaging, I really appreciate that they take the time to properly wrap their products. I feel like this attention to detail would protect my order if the delivery person were to leave it where it could get rained on or left in the weather. The packaging is amazing, and I will continue to return as a customer.

Outstanding on all fronts Great company! I am 110% satisfied with my experience. The ordering process was easy and secure. The package arrived 3 days early by USPS. The product was extremely well-packaged: outer bubble envelope, inner bubble wrap, a box, and the individual pieces were separated and secured within holes in foam material. The trap itself is very well constructed as advertised. I’m glad I paid the extra $$ for a high quality product rather than risk with a random internet company just out for sales. Also customer service responds within hours and is extremely responsive—they have actual humans interacting with you! Will use again. Thx!

Solid from website to my hand, top shelf As I shopped for the product, I kept returning to the Den website. Descriptions are clear, lots of good information, very good value. Ordering is simple, terms are straightforward. I had special shipping instructions, followed perfectly. Secure packaging. The trap is well machined, fits tight, and is nicely finished. The hand-feel has heft and is of quality. Extra care at every step. Thanks.

They did the right thing! Let me just start with Thank you Armory Den! What exceptional customer service! Their response time to emails, is faster response time then the police department has where I live for 911 calls lol j/k. Seriously, they answered me on Sunday, morning and afternoon. No company does that! Also, I asked about a part I thought came with my order. I was ready to pay for it, nope, they sent them to me for free, and shipped on a Sunday! No one does that! I’m a customer for life! I even canceled an order I had with another company, just so I can buy from ARMORY DEN! My business motto is “always do the right thing l, no matter what” they obviously follow it also!

This company is the real deal I was a little skeptical about ordering honestly. I hadn't heard much about armory den and could only find good reviews lol. But I took a chance and put through an order. Everything arrived as described and is awesome. Be aware that you may receive multiple shipments based on what you order. These guys respond fast and from what i have seen, produce quality products. They have my future business. I've put up similar reviews and given a recommendation on their FB page.

A Reliable Solvent Trap Will 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 where 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 is a complete package embodied by crucial components and each one has a function for the solvent trap:

Some parts are designed to fit together with razor precision. While some features and cups, depending on the solvent trap kit style, are mostly threaded together. An excellent example of solvent trap kits, where every part, from the tube to the cups, to the end cap, threads together is Armory Den’s 1.57″ Outer Diameter Adaptive Solvent Trap Kits. Since the liquids are closely sealed, most firearm owners choose the threaded form inherent in the previously mentioned Adaptive Solvent Trap Kit reference.

In tube solvent trap kits, an aluminum, steel, or titanium tube houses all the solvent trap cups; these are the most typical solvent trap kits. In most tube solvent trap kits, there is a 1.75″ to 3″ spacer that caps off a perfect fit and allows for extra space for the solvent to accumulate before coming in contact with the first cup | divider.

BATFE has officially and publicly defined a solvent trap as a “firearm accessory” that needs no legal paperwork. No different than a pistol grip that you would install on an AR15, a set of night sights that you may install on a Glock 19… a solvent trap is a “firearm accessory” that you can install on both of these types; of firearms and more!

The most popular place to purchase solvent traps 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” – do your due diligence and research, just as you are doing 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 10s of thousands of round stress tests, 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 would also need to prepare:

Cleaning rod
Caliber specific bore brush
Cleaning swab
Utility brushes
firearm and reel cloth
Bore snake
Solvents and lubricants for cleaning

Caliber-specific cleaning kits, which already have the thread protector(s) you need, are available. 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, they were not quality or packed with modern solvent traps’ features. To make them more anticorrosive and portable, quality prototypes have recently hit the market!

Traditional Solvents Traps

Initial solvent traps were oil filters used on automobiles to trap fluid during a trip; firearm owners began using them by attaching them to the end of a firearm’s barrel to capture the liquid, and debris filtered the firearm cleaning process. They are very inexpensive on the open market for a reason. They are affordable because they are simple and straightforward in their construction.

In fact, for solvent traps, anything that you can add to the barrel to capture the solvent can be classified. You can DIY, or you can buy it from Armory Den’s store. There are models of an oil rig that one can modify as well. It was bulky, though, making shooting inconvenient.

Modern Solvent Traps

Bear in mind that they are made for one purpose: to capture solvent residues for cleaning so that you can reuse them. Some are hybrid solvent traps consisting of mixed aluminum and titanium. Some are all-titanium, others are pricier, and some are made of steel alloy. On the other hand, the new version of solvent traps for firearms is styled differently and can deliver more.

They are trendy; for one, they come in various colors. Although what makes it more enticing to owners of firearms is that you can easily style them.

Styling the Solvent Trap and Personalizing it

In today’s market, you will find many firearm solvent trap options. You can personalize yours if none of the colors or styles that you want are available.

Armory Den makes it possible to engrave a solvent trap tube, even solvent trap kits with carbon fiber sleeves. Yeah, it’s possible to get a tubing etched. The company provides its consumers aesthetic choices so that you can personalize and enjoy using and changing your firearm solvent trap kits.

Choosing a solvent trap for a firearm depends on what type, colors, or content that most appeals to you. If you decide to use solvent traps the way they are, you should go for a standard configuration. On another note, if you want to create a modified one out of your solvent trap, some items encourage conversion.
