If you have a ‘solvent trap’ you may want to rethink your reason for having it

“solvent trap”

SD Tactical Arms of Prescott, Arizona announced on social media last week they are no longer able to sell their popular line of  “solvent traps,” which made up their bulk of their business, as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives advised they could be interpreted as being unregistered suppressor parts.

“As of today the ATF shut down our business of selling solvent traps,” noted SD. “This is 99% of our income. They have put 3 Veterans, my wife and son out of work. They said I can’t sell freeze plugs. NAPA can’t even sell them to us because they are a suppressor part. They said all I can sell is complete suppressors.”

Oil Can Suppressor

American Specialty Ammo and Cadiz Gun works has come up with a great little adapter that fits on a 1/28
threaded barrel then marries up to the port of a oil filter. The adapter itself is the registered part and costs
just $75 (plus the $200 tax stamp)

Benefits: once the filter gets dirty or stops working, throw it away and get a new one. Its cheap (my TAC-65 costs 3x as much!) and it seems to work on either pistols or rifles. With no moving parts it should last forever.

Cons: Looks……industrial. Also is sure to get some calls to the local BATF office everytime someone sees you shoot it.
