It's Time to go Green! Use a solvent trap when you clean your guns
Posted on 01/11/2016 1:02:46 PM PST by Torcert
So youâve obviously heard about solvent traps and you want to make sure they are legal. Well hereâs the good news, they are 100% legalâ¦with conditions.
A solvent trap is just that, a device that allows one to attach a canister, fuel filter, oil filter, etc, to the end of a weapon to catch the solvent that comes out the end of the barrel when cleaning. These devices also catch patches that are run through the barrel as well as the nasty âsneezeâ of solvent that flicks off the copper bore brush when coming out the end of the barrel. Solvent traps offer a clean, mess free solution for preventing solvent from staining furniture or clothing. In addition, when you are done cleaning, you simply dispose of the filter.
Are Solvent Traps Legal?
According to the ATF, cleaning devices are not regulated, and rightfully so. When someone uses a solvent trap for purposes other than its intended and legal purposes, that is under ATFâs authority.

In addition, when you are done cleaning, you simply dispose of the filter. I already do that, sans the extra do-hicky.

I love the smell of Hoppe’s no. 9 in the morning, smells like victory. I see what you did there.

I clean my guns thoroughly and I do not have any solvent to trap.

Look up “oil filter suppressor” to get an idea of the similarities between the “trap” and the “suppressor”.
To: OftheOhio
I wish they would make a cologne out of it. I love the stuff.
OTOH, I wish I had invented the snake bore, brilliant!

Hoppes #9 is to a man, what Channel #5 is to a woman. No question about it....I actually like it when the brush flicks it about the room and spreads the heavenly scent.
To: AFreeBird
And to some women, like me, a man that smells like CLP is irresistible.

If you’re terrified of breaking the law cleaning your weapon, you aren’t free.

Because some people use them with an oil filter threaded on them as a suppressor.

I don't think the majority of the posters understand the ...mmm... duel purpose of the solvent trap.
They lack sneakiness.

Hoppes #9 is to a man, what Channel #5 is to a woman. Bingo! Just don't use it on Nickle plated guns. Will peel off the Nickle.
I have a little workshop in the basement of my house that I do all sorts of fun gun stuff. Stinks of #9 for a day after cleaning guns. Wife hates the smell as it wafts upstairs .
