How many rounds of 22lr you guys are shooting before cleaning your suppressors? Awaiting my stamp for my first can and it will only be used for a 22lr. I've got a ultrasonic cleaner I plan to utilize.

Interesting. I never really thought about cleaning my cans, well other then my Q Elcamino. But I clean the booster on my Osprey regularly and the quick connection of my Socoms. But how would you clean them. They are a sealed unit.

Be sure your baffles aren't made of aluminum before cleaning in a sonic cleaner.

Mine are. I soak my baffles in Kroil when I get home from the range, and leave them there until I'm ready to go to the range again.

I also shoot CCI polymer coated Clean ammunition which eliminates lead build up, leaving only the carbon deposits to deal with.

I make something called The Dip, works for me.

Can’t use the dip on aluminum baffles. Also, the dip creates lead acetate that is extremely toxic. Do what you wish with that info.

A pic of using the cleaner and manually scraping the carbon out of the baffles. Spent about an hour scraping all of the baffles

So after this session I ran another 5-600 rounds through it. Then I had an idea. I put the baffles in a ziploc bag with the suppressor cleaner, and diluted it with some water. Put the bag in a sonic cleaner filled with water. Ran the cycle for 20 minutes. Lo and behold the baffles came out looking almost brand new. Picture coming out of the bath below.

The stuff works awesome in the sonic cleaner.
