At one time, just about every can sold was sealed and non user serviceable and the world did not come off its axis. I have an original Gemtech Outback from when they were first released over a decade ago. Shot the piss out of it and then at some point paid the under $200 to have it rebuilt with the Outback II baffles and have been shooting the piss out of it since then. Rimfire does get nasty though. Not sure if the AWC is aluminum, but that would prevent use of an ultrasonic.
Gemtech and other can makers used to recommend a soak overnight in 'Ed's Red' slosh it around a bit, and then blow out with compressed air just to get the unburnt powder and crap out of it. It is not going to dissolve lead deposits though. What I did just for sh**ts and giggles, is get an accurate weight of the can (in your case the Ruger upper) and just monitor that weight to see how much crap it is "absorbing". Below are the instructions I have used for years to make Ed's Red. I just keep a tiny parts washer full of it and regularly toss any gun crap in it. Before I had the parts cleaner, I just got pipe sized to the suppressor and capped one end to soak the can.
CONTENTS: Ed's Red Bore Cleaner

equivalent, (aka "Varsol")

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR "ER" BORE CLEANER:
Mix outdoors, in good ventilation. Use a clean 1 gallon metal,
chemical-resistant, heavy gage PET or PVC plastic container. NFPA
approved plastic gasoline storage containers are also OK. Do NOT use
HDPE, which is permeable, because the acetone will eventually evaporate.
The acetone in ER will also attack HDPE, causing the container to
collapse, making a heck of a mess!
Add the ATF first. Use the empty container to measure the other
components, so that it is thoroughly rinsed. If you incorporate the
lanolin into the mixture, melt this carefully in a double boiler, taking
precautions against fire. Pour the melted lanolin it into a larger
container, rinsing the lanolin container with the bore cleaner mix, and
stirring until it is all dissolved.
I recommend diverting a small quantity, up to 4 ozs. per quart of the
50-50 ATF/kerosene mix for optional use as an "ER-compatible" gun oil.
This can be done without impairing the effectiveness of the remaining
mix.
