Solvent Traps for Sale – What They Are, How They Work, and Why They’re Worth It
If you’ve ever cleaned your rifle or pistol and ended up with solvent all over your table, hands, and floor, then yeah you already understand why solvent traps exist. These things aren’t gimmicks. They’re practical, mess-saving tools that thread right onto your muzzle and catch all the nasty runoff during a proper bore cleaning.
At Button Land Sears, you’ll find solid, no-nonsense solvent traps for sale built right, priced fair, and shipped fast.
What’s a Solvent Trap, Really?
Forget the online hype or confusion, a solvent trap is just a simple threaded tube that attaches to the end of your barrel. Inside, you’ve got spacer cups or a core that channels the solvent into a sealed container instead of letting it splash everywhere.
You push your cleaning rod through from the breech, the solvent flows forward, and the trap catches it before it hits your bench or your lap. That’s it. That’s the job and it does it well.
They come in different materials like aluminum, stainless, or titanium. Some are modular, some are one solid piece. You pick what fits your setup and how often you clean.

Solvent Trap vs Suppressor – Know the Difference
Let’s clear this up. A solvent trap is not a suppressor, and it’s not meant to be one. Yes, they might look similar at a glance, but that’s where the comparison ends.
Solvent traps are closed at one end. No hole. They’re meant to catch liquid, not gas.
Suppressors are engineered to handle pressure, heat, and sound. Big difference.
You can’t just drill out a solvent trap and call it a day. If you try that without an approved Form 1, you’re breaking federal law — full stop.
At Button Land Sears, we sell solvent traps for cleaning guns. Nothing else. Use them the right way, and you’re golden.
Why Use One?
If you clean guns often, especially anything with a longer barrel or tighter bore, a solvent trap saves you a lot of headache:
No drips down your stock, handguard, or floor
No solvent blowing back into the action
Easier cleanup — trap, dump, rinse, done
Reusable — no more single-use patches soaking through everything
Thread-on convenience — 1/2×28 or 5/8×24? Covered.
It’s one of those tools you don’t realize you needed until you’ve used it once. Then you won’t clean without it again.
How a Solvent Trap Is Converted to a Suppressor
Drill the End Cap – A solvent trap has a sealed end cap. A suppressor needs a bullet-sized hole to allow projectiles to pass through.
Drill the Cups/Baffles – Internal cups (used to trap solvent) are drilled to align with the bore, turning them into suppressor-style baffles.
Ensure Bore Alignment – Builders use alignment rods or jigs to make sure everything is centered. Misalignment = baffle strike = dangerous.
Thread It to the Barrel – Most solvent traps already come with common thread sizes (1/2×28 or 5/8×24) for attaching to firearm muzzles.
Mark the Device (If Legal) – Legally built suppressors must be engraved with a serial number, builder name, and location.
