    I am using a Gemtech trek supressor. Its a sealed can. Contacted Gemtech regarding cleaning. No support from them on how to clean internal baffles. I do fire 22lr so there will be lead and carbon build up. Any sugestions would be appreciated with what solvents or cleaners to use.

    I'm certainly not a silencer expert but I think I remember being told it's not a good idea to run 22lr through a can that's not user serviceable because of the difficulty of cleaning out any lead deposits.

    Yes not good to use .22LR in a sealed can that is not serviceable.

    What is the can made of? If not aluminum you could put in a sonic cleaner

    CLR cleaner in a pan or bowl.
    Yes, the clr cleaner you get at the store and small and cheap fish aquarium pump to circulate it though the can submerged in the cleaner.
    It melts it out
    Use good rubber gloves, you don’t want it on your skin
