What is a Solvent Trap?

A solvent trap is a firearm cleaning accessory that captures solvent and debris during barrel maintenance. Instead of dripping onto your bench, dirty fluid is funneled into the trap, protecting your workspace and gear. Choose the correct thread adapter to match your barrel for a secure fit.

Fitment Quick Guide

  • 1/2×28: common for many 9mm/.223 platforms
  • 5/8×24: common for many .30 cal platforms
  • Pick kit first, then add adapters & cups as needed

FAQ: Solvent Traps & Parts

What does a solvent trap do?

It captures solvent and fouling during cleaning so your work area stays clean.

How do I choose the right adapter?

Match your barrel’s thread pitch (e.g., 1/2×28 or 5/8×24) to the adapter. If unsure, check your firearm manual or consult a gunsmith.

Aluminum vs. Titanium — which is better?

Aluminum offers great value and low weight. Titanium gives top strength-to-weight and long-term durability.

Are Solvent Traps Legal? What You Need to Know in 2025

Legal vs Not Legal Solvent Trap Use — Freedom Gear Compliance Guide 2025

A solvent trap is a firearm cleaning accessory designed to catch solvent and debris during routine barrel maintenance. When used for its intended purpose — keeping your bench, gear, and environment clean — a solvent trap is legal to own and use in the United States.

When Solvent Traps Are Legal

  • Using a solvent trap kit or solvent trap adapter for barrel cleaning.
  • Catching and containing dirty cleaning fluid, fouling, and residue during firearm maintenance.
  • Purchasing aluminum or titanium solvent trap cups, tubes, and end caps from authorized vendors like Freedom Gear.
  • Transporting or storing solvent safely without spills on your bench, clothes, or carpet.

When Solvent Traps Become Illegal

A solvent trap becomes illegal if it is modified into a suppressor or silencer without proper ATF authorization. Any machining, drilling, or alteration that converts a solvent trap into a device intended to reduce firearm sound makes it a regulated item under the National Firearms Act (NFA).

To legally convert a solvent trap into a suppressor, you must first file an ATF Form 1, pay the $200 tax stamp, and receive approval before making any modifications. Without this step, possession of a modified solvent trap is a felony offense.

Federal and State Laws in 2025

In 2025, federal law still regulates solvent trap modifications under the NFA. While it is legal to buy, sell, and own solvent trap kits for cleaning, states may have additional restrictions. Always verify your state and local firearm laws before purchasing. Some states impose stricter rules on solvent traps, suppressor parts, and related accessories.

Common Questions About Solvent Trap Laws

  • Are solvent trap cups legal? Yes, when used for cleaning. They become regulated if altered for sound suppression.
  • Is it legal to own a titanium solvent trap? Yes, titanium solvent trap tubes and parts are legal to purchase and own for cleaning.
  • Do I need a Form 1 for solvent trap adapters? No, adapters are legal for cleaning. A Form 1 is only required if you intend to convert the trap into a suppressor.
  • Can I travel with a solvent trap? Yes, but always check local laws and transport regulations.

Summary

Solvent traps are 100% legal when used as cleaning tools. Freedom Gear offers aluminum and titanium solvent trap kits, cups, adapters, and end caps built specifically for firearm maintenance.

Important: Modifying a solvent trap into a suppressor without an approved ATF Form 1 is a violation of federal law. Always use solvent traps responsibly, and check all federal, state, and local regulations before purchase or modification.
