I plead the 5th
You are obviously talking about using it as a suppressor and not a cleaning accessory. So, you mentioned the paperwork aspect AFTER posting. Filing the paperwork prior to modification is the key legal issue and there has been considerable controversy with solvent traps and legalities. That is why.

From http://www.solventtrap.net/
It is 100% legal to buy and own a solvent trap kit to clean your firearm, period. Anyone that tells you otherwise hasn't done their homework. According to the BATF a solvent trap is considered "A Firearm Accessory" and is not regulated as a bullet cannot pass through it until modified. The ATF allows barrel attached items such as these as cleaning accessories, thus allowing it to legally be purchased and sold without ATF involvement.
If anyone wants to turn a Solvent Trap kit into a Solvent Trap Suppressor you need to follow ATF regulations and file your Form 1 PRIOR to modification. After you receive your NFA tax stamp you can modify the solvent trap by doing the last bit of work which involves simply drilling out the freeze plugs and end cap to your desired size. A Form 1 allows for you to manufacture your own silencer. No license is necessary.

Yea it looks like you guys have a solid community here and I appreciate the welcome. I would have chimed in sooner, but to be honest things have kicked off pretty strong in a short time and we have been slammed with getting orders out on time and working on new prototypes, trying new materials and builds, not to mention gator hunting season is coming up in Florida and I pulled county wide tags this year
Not a problem Frank, it does even better with subsonic and you can get a true "hollywood" suppression effect, although you don't get near the range as with a .55 grain but you are always going to have the supersonic "crack" with normal ammo.
As soon as I get my wrap on my 338 I'll throw it on there and take a pictureThanks for the order, and I would love to get a side profile picture of the solvent trap on your 338 to add on our gallery
I think the 338 is the perfect platform for a suppressor. Hits way harder than a 300 blackout
