Go, just remember it's aluminum, so cleaning takes extra care.  Very light and quiet.

I have a outback II, so its Al and I can not clean it.



But yes the 260-70 is a selling point and the rebate is nice. I sent in two rebates today for my Evos...

Then you and I are in the same boat as I have a 2006 model Outback II.  Great can, but I, like you, want another .22 can that I can disassemble.  Was just looking at the Pilot 2 just because of the rebate/credit.  Otherwise, I'd get a Spectre II.

You can clean it with a soda blaster or soak it in a good carbon breaker and scrape off the major lead pieces. It won't look like new and it will be more intensive than just dipping the can, but it's quite possible.

What is a good carbon breaker for the anodized aluminum is, like the baffles in a Pilot 2? I've been looking for that info and haven't come across a good answer.

ETA: for the OP. I'm happy with the Pilot 2 I have but if/when I buy another .22 suppressor it will have stainless baffles for ease of cleaning.

Slip 2000 carbon cutter works for me. Then some careful lead removal with a dental pic. Between those two, my baffles are never "clean as new", but the can stays functional...

Sending the form 4 off for mine tomorrow. Have you noticed any FRP on pistols?

The FRP is slightly louder on a handgun. The can is definitely quieter when it is dirty and it is quieter on a rifle than the Element 2.

I have one. Works great, quiet as shit. Absolutely love it.

On a 10/22 with subs all you hear is the action, and on a 22/45 with subs or standards you barely hear a thing.

Got one in jail.

It'll be my first and I have to drive past the gun shop everyday on the way to work. it's going to be a long 8 or 9 months.

Good deal!  The Pilot II is a fine can.

I have no complaints about mine.  I clean it after every session to keep the deposits to a minimum but it will never be as clean as new.  Works fine on my P-22, 10-22 and Savage FVSR with Remington 38 gr. subs.
