Thread: DPT tools for separating seized suppressor baffles

im gunna be honest Iv never even thought about cleaning my suppressor

I was told with my first one dont bother and bring it back at 10,000 rounds and we will clean it for you for free (gunworks)

Yes there is a small risk. See bellow another snip from the instructions. This is what we have found works best for our products.

During shooting, condensation is created inside the suppressor, containing amongst others ammonia (mixture of burnt powder and water). Failure to remove the suppressor within a reasonable period of time after shooting will cause rust to form in the gun barrel and could cause corrosion inside the suppressor. It is therefore practical to unscrew the suppressor after shooting on a range before packing the firearm for transport. When hunting, the suppressor must be removed after the end of the hunt. Store the suppressor so that air can flow freely through it and dry it out. If the suppressor is put away wet, a white powdery build-up will occur on the baffles. In this case spray WD40 over the baffles. When the suppressor is dry it is advantageous to spray WD40 into it. Avoid the build-up of moisture inside the suppressor as repeated exposure could lead to premature failure of the suppressor due to corrosion. If the suppressor is dropped into water, it must be fully dried before use.

Interesting as quite a few Americans do demo's involving the suppressor being dipped into water, muzzle down, then shot, to show a 'wet' level of sound moderation.



Another point I would raise, being a DPT MkII owner, is the possibility of someone not completely threading the baffles back together before use.

Assume this would result in a catastrophic failure @DPT ?

However I am more than happy with your product as it is probably the lightest and shortest overbarrel mod, very effective and ideal for the superlight bush setups.

I tried it and didnt notice any difference shooting it wet compaired to dry
it handeled it just fine
what I want to see more common is purging the oxygen out with co2 like what discrete ballistics done with their Popshot but more slick than the big side mounted slug gun canister they had

At the end of the day people do as they wish with a product, it doesn't mean its recommended by the manufacturer.

As far as I know, that issue has not come up. But that would be no different than someone not screwing their suppressor fully onto the muzzle,

I did this , used to store my supressor after cleaning with baffles only screwed on half way at best. When I was firing the gun at paper I thought it sounded different but put it down to the earmuffs and a new firing position, shooting bedside the shed, and getting bounce of the corrugated iron. Saw my 5 shot group was only 4 shots and very very very average. After pondering that for a moment I then noticed my supressor was half screwed together and sporting some baffle strike on the end cap. Still works.....
