Pro tip: after cleaning your baffles coat them in a high temperature resistant grease, such as white lithium grease, to help make taking them apart and cleaning them easier next time.

I soak my aluminum baffles in KG Carbon Remover overnight. Mostly brushes off with M16 cleaning toothbrush. Might be some tough deposits on first baffle that I use non-brush side of M16 brush to push them off the baffle surface. Rinse all residue with brake cleaner. When dry, spray with dry silicon aerosol then a light thorough coating of Sil-Glyde. Do not soak overnight with Hoppe’s, it will turn hardcoat anodize silver, not that it matters, it will still be super hard, it just fades the black color. The silicone spray and sil-glyde make future cleaning very very easy.

I cleaned my Silent-SR after ~3,500 rounds*, the baffles slid right out of the tube and after a chemical bath I was able to scrape the baffles clean. I cant say I'd recommend waiting that long, Ruger certainly doesnt, but it still worked. *I tranfered it through a shop with an indoor range. I shot a lot of rounds each time and went almost once a month.

I’ve noticed that if you shoot a 500 round brick of 22lr in one session it’s not as dirty as 50 rounds at a time. Pretty sure it has to do with the heat and cooling cycles that bake lead inside the baffles. Ammunition choice too. CCI clean is by far the cleanest I’ve ever used. Norma is #2. If Norma coated their bullets like CCI or if CCI used Norma powder and primers that would make excellent ammo.

Would appreciate more detailed information about types of solvents to use and what NOT to use. Is CLR alright? What about Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide mix? Yes, they require special handling and disposal. Also, which ones are safe to allow the parts to soak in overnight, etc, etc.
@SilencerShop 19 күн бұрын
We urge you to follow manufacturers instructions, a lot of solvents can damage coatings. CLR is normally good to go, but with modern suppressors specific cleaners coming out we would recommend those.

Do you guys recommend putting steel baffles through a wet tumbling cleaner with or without SS pins?
@SilencerShop Жыл бұрын
Steel baffles are fine to use with steel pins, Savage! - Chase

Invest in an ultrasonic cleaner. So much easier and I get my baffles looking like new. I just use Hornady one shot cleaner. A lot less work.

Can a brass brush be used vise brass carbon scraper?
@SilencerShop Жыл бұрын
Brass is normally fine for most materials, but non-marring brushes (like stiff nylons) can be safer on finishes. - Chase

Brass is a little harder, so more likely to cause scratches. Be careful.

My 22 suppressor is much quieter when it is clean. I wouldn’t go much over the 500 round cleaning most manufacturers recommend.

Good observation! That is because the lead and carbon actually reduce the effective volume of the suppressor, cleaning is very important! - Chase

It''d have been better to show how you get the lead off. It's danged near impossible especially with aluminum alloy baffles.

Agreed! My baffles look like mud gunk when when I take apart my sig sauer suppressor. I use pro7 and hoppes bore cleaner in a mini spray bottle. Let it set, then start scrubbing away for about 1-1.5 hrs to clean my suppressor and even then it’s not 100% clean. This was after shooting aguila sub sonic for the first time. I don’t know if it could have been the ammo
