What Is a Fuel Filter Solvent Trap?

Fuel filters should never be attached directly to firearms muzzles and should never replace an effective solvent trap in terms of durability and functionality.

Solvent traps can be expensive and unnecessary investments; in some states they may even be illegal! Therefore, it’s wise to opt for a reliable solvent trap service provider instead.

It is a firearm cleaning accessory

Solvent traps help keep firearms clean by collecting any excess solvent during cleaning, while simultaneously reducing gunk and grime build-up in their barrels. Furthermore, these traps help save the environment by recycling used solvent and cutting down on waste production.

Some manufacturers produce fuel filters or solvent traps marketed as “fuel filters,” however these devices may actually originate in countries without regulations for them in the US; ordering them from these foreign sellers would likely result in them being seized at customs or sent back. Armory Den only sells high-grade solvent trap kits manufactured within legal parameters in the USA using materials like 7075 aluminum, titanium and stainless steel that reduce thread damage while increasing product lifespan.

It is a storage solution

It is a waste of money

Multiple companies have begun selling “solvent traps” online. These cylinders attach directly to gun barrels for the sole purpose of collecting cleaning solvents, and while such devices might prove useful in certain circumstances, they are illegal for sale or use in the US; additionally they can easily be confiscated by ATF authorities.

For your own protection, ensure your device is registered and marked with its serial number according to federal and state law. Furthermore, familiarize yourself with ATF guidelines about solvent traps in order to register them properly.

One of the easiest and fastest ways to register a solvent trap with ATF is submitting Form 1. Additionally, purchase a jig that allows for drilling out baffles of device and purchase kit including 1/2X28 tap and die set for best results.

It may be illegal

There are multiple reasons for why it may be illegal to use a fuel filter solvent trap as a silencer. First of all, these devices are intended to catch gun cleaning solvent, and can spray in all directions staining whatever it touches. Furthermore, they don’t provide a bullet exit hole which is required by law and may pose health risks because of its combustibility.

The ATF has already taken action against multiple websites selling fuel filter solvent traps, such as SD Tactical Arms of Prescott, Arizona and Solvent Traps Etc of Winter Haven, Florida. Darkside Defense of Solvent Traps Etc posted on Facebook that they received numerous cease-and-desist letters from the ATF which allege violations of National Firearms Act laws for selling an unregistered Class III item which can easily become converted to silencer. Silencers must also comply with ATF registration procedures which involve filling out an application form, passing background check requirements as well as paying a $200 tax fee annually to operate legally.
