What is a solvent trap?

solvent trap is a device that is designed to catch and trap cleaning solvents during the process of cleaning a firearm. It is typically a cylindrical tube made of aluminum or steel and can be threaded onto the end of a firearm's barrel. The solvent trap catches the cleaning solvents as they are pushed through the barrel of the firearm during the cleaning process, preventing them from being released into the environment.
