Solvent Traps

Solvent Traps

A solvent trap is like the James Bond of firearm cleaning systems, designed to capture cleaning solvents efficiently. Picture it like a stealthy cousin of a silencer. However, it’s important to note that these traps aren’t meant to be shot, unlike their more glamorous relative.

Now, here’s the plot twist – some folks have attempted to turn their solvent traps into suppressors, but hold on, it’s not a DIY action movie without consequences. If you go all MacGyver on it without an approved Form 1 from the ATF, you’re diving into felony territory.

So, how do you make this covert transformation? Step one: File Form 1 with ATF and wait for the green light. This approval allows you to dive into the modification process. Picture it like getting your secret agent license.

Now, onto the action scenes – following ATF guidelines is crucial. Engraving a serial number on your soon-to-be-silencer is a must, and it’s a job for professionals. They’ll make sure it meets all the ATF criteria for depth, characters, and visibility.

The drilling part is where the suspense builds. Boring a hole in the solvent trap to convert it into a suppressor requires surgical precision. You can either recruit professional help or go full DIY mode, but be warned – there’s no room for error.

In this thrilling adventure of turning a cleaning tool into a silencer, remember, excitement aside, following federal, state, and local laws is the hero’s code. So, get your Form 1, follow the guidelines, and maybe one day, your solvent trap will be the star of its own spy movie.
