Thread: DPT tools for separating seized suppressor baffles

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,

My mate uses 50/50 ATF and Acetone to unbundle seized stuff. Reckons nothing beats it.

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.....

I recently acquired a used suppressor with a build up of carbon to some degree ... I was amazed how well my ultrasonic case cleaner, cleaned the carbon out... took about an hour total.... hot, with a bit of dishwashing detergent and the carbon broke up, fell away or dissolved.

Re assembled with a light coat of synthetic grease on the threads and a light smear over the areas that were built up with carbon. It is now clean and good as new on the inside.
