Is this stuff good to use on suppressors? I have all gemtech stuff (Raptor, Halo, Trinity). Is it okay to just immerse these suppressors in Carbon Cutter? Thanks in advance |

David gave excellent advice in pretending the cans are new and leave them alone. I have been underwhelmed at SLIP-2000's ability to cut carbon baked on baffles. It may work reasonably in gas pistons where you can mechanically scrub the parts, but not in cans. I have placed well-used carboned stainless baffles in SLIP-2000 and soaked them for weeks followed by an hour in the ultrasound. While some came off, a lot remained. The other problem with SLIP-2000 is that it is water based. Contrary to what some folks have said, water is hard on aluminum, and (when mixed with products of combustion) will eventually corrode even hard coated aluminum. Further, the SLIP-2000 is really hard to rinse out, and usually the can ends up with some of the gooey cleaner that cannot be dried left in recesses to corrode the amuminum. Water is the real nemesis to aluminum cans. The suppressor will last far longer if you never clean it. |
I've had simular results with CC. Everyone raved on how well it work so I bought a jar and tried to soak my gas block&piston on my Stoner 63A in it. The stuff did nothing. I contacted the company and to theircredit they sent me another jar and a will call UPS slip for the old stuff and some scrapings from my gas block so they could test it. Never heard back on it so I guess it was super carbon  |
