[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Burnt range bag on to my suppressor

Posted: 10/14/2017 2:45:10 PM EDT

I forgot to bring my suppressor pouch and of course this happened:

So what do I do?

Shoot it and get it hot again and scrape it off?

Take some type of brush to it and scrape it off?

Yup, be careful. I'd use a towel soaked in CLP or something to wipe it off once it's hot.

Shoot it hot.

Wipe off with acetone and cotton cloth.

so, i didn't want to admit this.k. but the other day i melted my sico pouch to my specwar 556..

it melted and burned on.. bad

i tried scraping it with a plastic tool, but that wasn't going anywhere.

took it to my shop and used a bench grinder with a brass brush wheel, came off in 3 minutes and then i just wiped off the brass residue.

no damage to the finish whatsoever, quick and easy that only cost me a pouch and some pride trying to explain a smoking silencer to the people in the lane next to me at the range

I had someone lay mine down on a blue plastic tarp. Melted on to a whole side of the can. It was stuck on real tough. I didn’t do anything and it just burned off over the next shooting session or two.

Did that to mine as well. I just dumped a few mags through it and it mostly burnt off. Left a shinny spot but it doesn’t bother me.

Mine usually just gets burned flesh on it.

Shoot it hot. Wipe off with CLP. Don’t use an old range bag as a rag.

Same. And it usually doesn’t even leave a mark...on the can.

People pay for such things, leave as a badge of courage and move on.

I had the same thing happen. Take a heat gun to it and wipe it off.

100 percent serious.

Don't soak the rag. Just a bit to remove the sticky mess.

Cloth chars. Everything else melts.

Science yo!

Very desirable patina.

Careful of hot stuff and acetone..... Much better to try acetone on rag while suppressor is COLD

shoot it hot and scrape as much as you can with a piece of wood or something. otherwise dont really worry about it.

get it hot, either shooting or heat gun, grab some extra pei wei chop sticks and scrape off the big chunks. they use chore boy copper pads to take off the rest
