    Simple green in sonic cleaner works for me.
    As mentioned it needs to be neutralised once done to protect the ally.

    I just use a leather belt to loosen them if tight.

    White lithium grease works on the threads. They actually work better with a little build up. They are modulated to add and remove baffles as you like and you can clean them but you don't need to. Gunworks and hardies are sealed and no one cleans them.

    freeze it then in to hot water, the thermal change should crack the carbon in the threads enough to start to get carbon remover in there.
    mine have been stuck a few times

    DPT sell a pair of purpose made suppressor clamps for $90.00 (available on website). Much better than struggling with hose clamps!

    You can borrow mine.

    You reckon Rushy knows how to drive one..... Guess he'll have to learn if the missus is off to the USA... Or does he have enough dishes to use 1/day until she gets home?

    Bit naughty I know, but on my 22 with the 3 sliding chambers and spring when I would clean it out sometimes the chambers would be stuck. First couple would come out with gentle levering but the last one was a dog to get out and all aluminium so didn't really want to wail on it. I would.... aim it into something soft like the ground and fire a shot through it. always came out and only a 22 so not as bad as a centerfire.

    Hi all,

    Anything water based is not recommended, (water can increases the risk of corrosion) soak the parts in wd40 and give them a good scrub.
    We also sell spanners if you are finding them hard to get appart.
