Like the title says.

Looking for advice on what's the easiest to service if you only service every 500-1000 rounds.

I don't want a monocore though and I'd prefer something with stainless or Ti internals.

Each manufacturer will give you instructions on how to take their can apart.
Cleaning the internals usually takes some soaking
Do a search for the posts about pre-treating the can with heat and oil to make cleaning easier
You can also search for threads about using "the dip", but don't use that on the tube if you value the finish. In fact, that is true about most cleaners.

I have a spetcre 2 and a sparrow.

I like cleaning the spectre A LOT more, baffles go in my SS tumbler with my .45 octane baffles. 1 hr later all clean.

Shielded baffle designs are all fairly easy to get out of the tube. There really isn't a best. I wouldn't use that has the deciding criteria for a rimfire can.

From my stash I would vote Spectre II or Mask.

I wonder if painting the baffles with Perma Slik or some other moly coating when they are new would make cleaning easier. Couldn't hurt I suppose.

As mentioned any shielded baffles are ideal. My Libert Regulator monocore is much harder to take apart vs. my Mask. I do like how the rear cap stays put on the Liberty can. I just bought an El Camino from Q for the wrench front cap takedown and rear end that stays in place.

Ease of service is my main thing, period. I want to tumble clean the baffles in my small tumbler, so that's why no monocore.

I like that Spectre II so I think it'll probably be that one. I've done some more looking into it and I think it's the best for what I'm looking for.

Getting silicone oil embedded in the metal will make them easier to clean.

It is already proven.  No need to try moly unless you are bored.
