Thread: DPT Baffle Corrosion

Hi,

This is one of the down sides of our modular systems, people seem to freak out when they see wear going on inside them, it happens to all suppressors just you can see inside ours,

Corrosion is the material oxidizing, You wont see the effects of that after one week, although wear from the sand blasting of the gun powder starts from the first bullet that is fired through it, after about 20 or so rounds the wear seems to settle down (this is also pointed out in the instructions)

Im only an email away for anyone that wants a copy of the instructions.

Dead right.

Have a look inside a Hardy with a borescope and you'll see what Darren means.
This one is actually pretty new:

Looks like a dead leather back turtle to me, is that the clarity of the bore scope? Shit every bore would be flogged if you relied on that thing.

thanks for the explanation Darren, i think i recall the build up did have an element of moisture to it. it was on a fluted rifle and the rifle had just experienced a very damp week hunting in which the suppressor was never removed, so i can understand how moisture would have crept in from the barrel end (the other end had tape over it)

this is the only wet hunt this suppressor has been on - any other corrosion would have occurred without any uptake of moisture (it is stored in a very dry spot)

will definitely make a point to clean/dry it as per instructions after a hunt in the wet in particular

Here is a llink to the instructions http://www.dpt.co.nz/attachment.php?id_attachment=1

Happy warned me about leaving suppressor a on your rifle, they will cause barrel corrosion, the ammonia smell with ADI 2207 is very noticeable, I take them off all my rifles once I've finished and store seperatly.

You should see/smell/feel the ammonia from shooting a suppressed AR15 that hasnt been gas busted or has a can that reduces gasback.

Ah My eye's!

bit of silicone fixes that ar15 issue, nearly sold mine because of it, 2c of silicone later what a difference

Ah, no, it's not actually. It's a cropped snap I took on my cellphone of the pic on a PC screen, then scaled to lower res.
So it's lo res zoomed up essentially.

Where is a good place to get lithium grease. Is G96 suitable to spray inside?

Wd40 is the liquid spray of choice. Avoid crc. Basic grease works fine.

Cheers for that

I rotate the baffles on mine. Spread the wear. The wear did slow down alot after the first 50 odd on the first before I started rotating. Will invest in a stainless one when the gun gets 284'd.

That's a good idea. Will try rotating them on mine.😆
