Solvent Trap Parts — Build & Customize

Legal & Compliance Overview — Solvent Trap Parts

Solvent Traps America sells parts and accessories intended only for lawful firearm cleaning and dry storage — items such as firearm cleaning tubes, solvent trap adapters, dry storage cups, and solvent trap tube kits. We do not sell baffles, suppressor components, or any parts intended for use in a suppressor. Our product descriptions and usage guidance focus strictly on cleaning and storage applications.

Why this matters: under U.S. federal law, suppressors (also called silencers) and certain components associated with them are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Components that are intended for use in an NFA device may themselves be regulated. For authoritative information about the NFA and forms, consult the ATF’s official NFA overview and the ATF forms pages (Form 1 / Form 4 / eForms).

High-Level Regulatory Pathways (Non-Instructional)

• Form 1 (Make & Register): The ATF Form 5320.1 ("Form 1") is the federal filing used when a private individual or legal entity seeks to lawfully manufacture and register an NFA item. This is a regulatory filing handled by ATF; it is not a technical manual and does not provide construction instructions. For official Form 1 resources and the ATF eForms portal, see ATF’s Form 1 material and eForms page. ATF — Form 1 (Application to Make and Register a Firearm). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Form 4 (Transfer & Tax Stamp): The ATF Form 5320.4 ("Form 4") is the filing commonly used for transfer and registration of a commercially manufactured NFA item; the transfer process includes required review and payment of the statutory tax. This is a regulatory transfer mechanism, not an instructional resource. ATF — Form 4 (Application for Tax Paid Transfer). :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• ATF NFA Division & eForms: ATF’s NFA Division processes applications, and ATF’s eForms portal hosts electronic filing for many NFA-related submissions. For current filing procedures and official guidance consult ATF’s eForms resources. ATF — eForms & Applications. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Standards & Technical Reference — SAAMI: SAAMI publishes voluntary technical standards and suppressor thread/socket drawings used as manufacturer references for safe, repeatable dimensions. These technical resources are reference material and do not confer legal authority. For technical thread/socket drawings and standards, see SAAMI’s technical pages.

STA Policy — What We Will & Will Not Do

STA will not: sell baffles, provide instructions (written or verbal) on constructing or modifying suppressors, or assist with fabrication or conversion of parts into NFA devices. We will refuse orders or requests that indicate intent to use parts to create prohibited devices or to circumvent law.

STA will: clearly label and describe products as cleaning and storage accessories, advise customers to verify thread sizes and compatibility, and point customers to official regulatory resources and qualified legal counsel for questions about NFA items. If you are uncertain about the legality of a use case, consult ATF or a licensed attorney.

Important Practical Notes (Non-Instructional)

• Federal and state laws both apply — some states may restrict possession or transfer of certain NFA items even where federal law permits them.
• Attempting to fabricate or modify parts into an NFA item without following required legal/regulatory procedures can result in criminal liability; do not attempt such actions.
• For authoritative guidance about filing, taxes, and registration timelines consult ATF resources or a qualified legal advisor; examples of official ATF guidance pages are linked above. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
