Hey, see link for our instructions Suppressor maintenance instructions - DPT Machinists

This is a snip from the instructions.

Your suppressor must be regularly maintained and cleaned. The inside of your rear chamber and both faces of the baffles must be sprayed with a thin coat of WD40 after every day out shooting (do this at the same time you clean your rifle) and also before long periods of storage. To do this, you will need to remove the baffles from the rear chamber and disassemble the baffle stack, failing to do this will void the extended warranty. In short, treat the suppressor as you would treat your rifle. Alloy baffles do wear gradually over time and are treated as a consumable, they are not covered by the extended warranty.

Cleaning of the modular suppressor can be done by unscrewing each module. Ensure that the thread surfaces are clean. Grease the O ring and threads with lithium grease before re-assembly. Don't over tighten the modules, firm is enough. Due to the fact that the front module and cap are loctited together, as well as the rear section on the over barrel versions, it can’t be undone. Cleaning will need to be done with a nylon barrel cleaning brush through the ports. WD40 should be used to clean the suppressor. Don’t use any harsh chemicals or water based products
