Thread: Suppressor Cleaning.

How much does a dirty suppressor affect POI? I went to the range yesterday and my Savage 22 was all over the show (tried different ammo), I'm talking about a 2-3 inch variation off shooting bags @ 50m. Took the suppressor off and it tightened up. I gave the suppressor a clean with a nylon bore brush, only a little bit of crud seemed to come out.

.22s are bloody dirty shooters - and will fill up a suppressor with carbon and the wax they coat the projs in...

Only aware of this as the suppressor I have allows me to unscrew the ends and see inside all the baffles allowing to clean them out - and there will be layers of the stuff inside them!! Can be tough to move too...
