| Ive heard different opinions regarding the cleaning of supressors. I was wondering, do you guys clean your suppressors? If you do, how often do you clean them? How do you clean them? (take them apart, soak them in cleaning solution) |
| I clean all of my 22LR cans. I disassemble them and have a few glass mason jars full of wd-40 that I plunk all of the parts into for a day or two. After a good soak I use a tooth brush to clean them off (that and elbow grease). Eventually I'll upgrade to a small bead blasting cabinet, but that's for later when I have a few hundred extra $$ laying around. I don't clean my 5.56 or 7.62 suppressors. I do clean my 9mm & 45 suppressors occasionally. They don't need as much attention as the 22LR cans do. Less build up. I've heard people have good results using kroil, gunzilla and a few other cleaning agents. Good luck, hope this helps. |
| I don't. I own a Surefire FA556AR and a Gemtech Outback II. The Surefire, like all centerfire rifle cans does not require any sort of cleaning and the Gemtech isn't designed to be user serviceable. When I start to notice a reduction in efficiency, I'll send it back to Gemtech and they will replace the baffle stack with brand new parts for $150. |
