I have a Gemtech Multimount and I was reading in the manual and it says "All parts should be thoroughly rinsed and dried prior to reassembly". So how do you guys clean them? CLP?

Rinse with water, dry with heat.

That's after cleaning I assume. What about the cleaning itself? I read so many conflicting arguments of what to use and my manual just gives a companies product they "recommend" and says automotive brake cleaning solution. Just wondering if there is anything better since this manual is probably a few years old

I believe it has aluminum baffles.  You should soda blast.  Type the below into google:

You should also not worry too much about cleaning it.

Is brake cleaner and mineral spirits safe on aluminum?

Probably.  Are they going to do shit?  Probably not.  Take the time to read about the soda blaster.  Take the time to research how often you actually need to clean centerfire pistol suppressors.

I'm out.  Good luck.

For anyone that searches this... GemTech told me mineral spirits and automatic transmission fluid
