Review: Solvent Trap Adapter from Infinite Product Solutions

Ever hear of a “solvent trap adapter”? If not you have now. Amazing what people come out with nowadays. A solvent trap adapter is a small tool which attaches to the end of a firearm and allows an oil filter or similarly threaded objects to be attached.

The intended purpose of a solvent trap adapter is to attach an oil filter to the end of a barrel to make cleaning the firearm easier. Simply attach the adapter, screw on the oil filter – and any solvents and cleaning materials that go down the barrel will collect in the oil filter rather than on your table, counter, floor, etc.

NOTE: DO NOT screw on an oil filter and shoot a hole through it. Doing so will result in your committing a felony by having an unregistered suppressor.

Below are an assortment of pictures and commentary……

Above: Oil filter obtained. The solvent trap adapters can be ordered with different threads as oil filters can also have different threads. It is a good idea to take the adapter to the auto parts store to make sure the purchased oil filter fits correctly.

Infinite Product Solutions sent me the solvent trap adapter for this review – free of charge. Like always that does not sway my opinion nor what I publish. The thing works. They make numerous different models for a variety of different firearms. Whether or not you want to use something like this to reduce the mess when cleaning firearms is up to you. If so – I can recommend those made by Infinite.

  1. “NOTE: DO NOT screw on an oil filter and shoot a hole through it. Doing so will result in your committing a felony by having an unregistered suppressor.”

    Right…..

    That is EXACTLY what these are for….

    I’m not wasting a 10 dollar oil filter just to catch some solvent that MIGHT com out of the barrel.

  2. I have one for the AK 47 and it seems to work well, Rourke, you are right as oil filters do have different thread sizes, a standard automobile filter seems to be the best, JohnP

  3. I believe the use of these suppressors are legal until you screw a filter on and shoot it. The 2 liter plastic Coke bottles can be attached with duck tape, but will not actually suppress the sound much……

  4. Funny, I was checking out this site just recently, as I have a .22 rifle that I wouldn’t mind “adapting”. I just need to measure the barrel diameter in order to make sure one of theirs will fit or order a custom, if the cost isn’t crazy. Another good site, among many, is http://www.preppersdiscount.com/
    They sell entire kits utilizing a MagLite tube. Gotta make sure to catch those solvents.
