solvent trap

[NeFaRiOuS_ArMz]

Just wondering if anyone has used a SD Tactical Arms or Preppers Discount Maguire solvent traps as "silencers" an do they really work an worth the money.. I kind of wanted to try it out but.. Idk. It would be just my luck that solvent trap blew up in my face on some freak accident s--t. LoL but it still seems pretty cool.

I'm sure it would be fine. It's usually the baffles that get messed up not the tube.

I don't think it would be very durable but since you would be the manufacturer, you could just replace the internals as they wear out.

Make sure you file a form 1 prior to purchasing those parts.

Best of luck

Even if I just use it as what they sell it as. A solvent trap?

I would recommend against anything involved with a silencer thinly veiled as a solvent trap.

... you could just replace the internals as they wear out....

If you make it into a legal silencer by applying for, and waiting to get, an approved Form 1; you CAN NOT "just replace the internals". The only legal way to replace worn parts in a Form 1 silencer is to have a FFL 07/02 do the work.

Your not going to get anyone on here to tell you to illegally use a solvent trap as a suppressor so give up on that one. Everyone here that I know does things the legal way. If you want a suppressor buy a suppressor not a solvent trap.

I'd not touch one of those things! No one needs complications like that ...

Completely WRONG.

You are the MAKER and a MAKER can NOT replace silencer parts, only 07/02's can replace silencer parts.

Buy a real can or make one yourself from raw materials.

And it shoots around corners.

I feel like this would not make a very effective suppressor, and the life span will be ridiculously short.

These oil filters were never meant to handle the pressures generated by the discharge of a firearm, they can probably handle .22, but when you can get a .22lr can for $200 (+tax) that will last you MANY years, why would you pay money for, not to mention risk your safety, on something like this?

These are meant for people who are intending on breaking the law. First, if I were the ATF I would keep and eye on people who sold or possibly bought one of these "solvent trap adapters". Secondly, if you were really planning on doing something like this, why would you post about it on an online forum?

The price may seem quite encouraging at first, but when you factor in the 10 years federal prison, court cost, and multiple thousand dollar fines (plus possible medical bills) the price increases way beyond that which you would pay to just get and use a suppressor legally.

You should only follow this person's advice if you enjoy the thought of 15 years in federal prison.

I don't believe the OP is asking about the gun to oil filter adapters.

There are companies selling parts that make up the endcaps and tube for suppressors for Form 1 builders. These require the maker to drill the endcaps and make their own baffles. According to the guys building these cans they've been impressed with the performance, especially for the price. In the end, if you build a form 1 can and don't like the internals it can be recored by an SOT. You'll still come out reasonably priced.

There's been a few threads on ARFCOM about building Form 1 cans using these parts.

Sorry for putting out incorrect info. I don't even see the point in building one then.
