I don't want to bang on this anymore than I have to.

I am using a piece of PVC tubing to tap against.

I do not want to screw up any internals.

I soaked it in WD 40 for an hour.

eta: it has had about 250 rounds through it since the last cleaning. Coated with MiG spray

I’ve seen a video with an armorer at a machine gun range that needed an air chisel to remove a baffle stack. I doubt you want to go to that extreme. Soaking it in something like Carbon Killer will probably help.

WD40 isn't going to do squat - use some Kroil instead.

And when you do get it apart and cleaned-up, watch this.

Do yourself a big favor and get a can of anti-splatter welding spray.

I sprayed, possibly too much, of that stuff on it during the last rebuild.

Kroil is great. Also try soaking in Breakthrough.

Hey this was me just last year except it was a few thousand lol

This is what I did

I soaked for 1 week internally with the breakthrough suppressor cleaner

I then made a baffle pusher out of all thread with appropriate sized washers and nuts

Came apart easy after that

Eta ope nvm good job

How's your accuracy with that can?

I bought an Amazon ultrasonic cleaner. Turn on the heat…let it soak for an hour…every couple hours go out and set the ultrasonic timer for 30 mins. Rinse and repeat a few times. It comes out by hand after 1000rnds. Cleaning still takes some work, but disassembly isn’t bad and it cleans up way easier than without soaking it. The barrel….thats a different story. Even  the goofy port brush doesn’t do much. But it’s the price we pay to have such a cool and quiet gun.

I have used “The Dip” 50% white vinegar and 50% hydrogen peroxide. This stuff dissolves caked lead off a .22 suppressor that had over 1 k rounds through it between cleaning. Soaked for a hour and cleaned with a toothbrush. Wear gloves that stuff is toxic. It will dissolve aluminum given enough time.

Given that nearly all SD cans are aluminum…..don’t.

I was hoping that you would respond to this thread.

The Omega host has been hitting low and right. The rear sight drum is a pain to adjust for elevation on this particular gun, but I got it to move. I have the HK tool.

Upon cleaning it looks like there were a few strikes on the inside of the end cap. Some copper fouling.

Didn't you do a mod to the end cap?

I also replaced the o-ring in the host. Fleming sear so it gets hot quickly. It was a bit degraded.

I used the Berryman Chem-Dip carburetor cleaner.

It was recommended by a former member here. Free Bear.  R.I.P.

It is easy to use with the basket and the internals are still there.

I opened it all up. Baffles and end cap. I forget to what exactly. .400ish. I recall the baffles being difficult to do. Mine were tight and there was a internal issue with length all put together. I got a washer in there now. Its kind of ghetto... i did get it shooting pretty well though. Noticeably improved accuracy

I've got an adapter for my wolfman now too. I need to sit down and group both and see how both sound together. The wolfman just literally barely clears my cage. Tight fit

Haven't been shooting too much this summer so I haven't quite got around to it

The orings gave me issues in the fact that as it wears I would tighten to different index points on the can thus shifting poi. I tried the original and enhanced ones. The little spots for the spanner wrench just chewed mine up. So I stopped using them. Ive had better luck not using them honestly. There no gas leakage on mine and the can tightens down to the same spot each time

To give the TPM a little credit it does sound a tiny touch better than the dang fullsize wolfman despite the diameter difference

Had a chance this weekend to shoot it outdoors and compare with some factory S&B 124gr. Its really close but I feel like I could hear it echo off the trees a little more than the TPM

That said the short wolfman doesnt give up much performance at all and still sounds great. Gives it a little better OAL

Sadly the zeros are vastly different between the TPM and Wolfman to the tune of feet at 50 yards

Ill have to sit down one day to group both and see if that matters any. I do wonder if the K baffles can destabilize rounds at times
