8 months for stamp to come in. Just picked it up yesterday. Installed a Vortex mount on both my 10.5 inch SBR and my 16 inch Colt. As soon as I get it to the range I'll report back. Very, very excited. I may try for a .22lr suppressor next for my GSG-5. Any suggesstions would be appreciated.

| You will like Gemtech's bi-lock mount and suppressor, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I've got a few 22 suppressors and for the money, the SWR Spectre II is hard to beat for a great all around can and should work quite nicely on a GSG, but I've gotta warn you, it's uglier than hell. Good luck. |

There are no other options besides the silencerco sparrow worth looking at in 22lr. You can shoot 22lr for thousands of rounds and still get it apart to service.
No other can on the market can claim that. It's also nice that it can be used on 17hmr, 22 mag and 5.7 Great choice with the g5, I have one with over 30,000 rounds fired and its still chugging along. Liked it so much I got the hvt-qm, trek,, g5-t and quicksand. All great cans |

SS Sparrow is my third favorite 22 can right now... |

I know they say you shouldn't, but it scares the hell out of me to leave it dirty. |

I have the Spectre, and it sucks to clean after 600-800 rounds. I need to upgrade to the Spectre II. I take back what I said about the sparrow, Spectre II looks awesome.
The only part of the G5 I clean is the back end when I get excess carbon/lead build up. Mostly just clean the bi-lock mounts. I've heard of people cleaning it with the 50/50 solution but don't have much motivation to play with lead acetate. The G5-22 is a stellar can, I use one on my GSG-5PK SBR. Makes for a great trainer for my MP5K with MK9K. |

If the carbon solidifies n the ears of the mount it can be a bitch to get off. They are a great can, no issues. |

I have the Spectre, and it sucks to clean after 600-800 rounds. Does the spectre II take advantage of the Sparrow clamshell design? I just like the ease of service with the Sparrow more than anything. Click together assembly like the Octane line, keeps the carbon from building up on the tube walls. |

I did some reading and video watching and learned something. Signed up for the upgrade, just waiting for the notification to send in my Spectre. |

... So have you ever tried to clean your G5? I know they say you shouldn't, but it scares the hell out of me to leave it dirty. The g5 isn't serviceable except for a dip. From the manufacturer: DON'T try to clean the internals, DON't dip it. You will void the warranty and probably end up damaging it. Centerfire rifle suppressors have a high flame temperature that burns off the majority of carbon. I have disassembled a couple our .223 suppressors with over 100,000 documented rounds that were never cleaned, and there has been only minimal internal carbon. Further, if you are considering immersion, the G5 does not drain completely without a LOT of compressed air. Liquid remaining inside a centerfire rifle suppressor can result in unanticipated hydrostatic pressures (gases compress, liquids don't). The only part of a centerfire rifle suppressor (and, truthfully, most suppressors other than .22 rimfire) that needs cleaning is the mounting surfaces, usually threads. The widely accepted opinion that suppressors need to be immaculate on the inside is simply incorrect. Guns: yes; accessories (such as cans): no. For those who ask, the best answer is to clean the inside of the suppressor only when you clean the inside of you car's muffler. The "dip," besides producing environmentally harmful products, is intended for dissolving lead. Jacketed bullets do not produce lead buildup. Philip H. Dater (Gemtech) |
