Wondering what others here might us to clean their cans? The 22 can I just picked up is easy to disassemble but jeez does it collect carbon.
I had not, but now I have, thanks. I see Harbor Freight has one for $30 and they have a store 10 minutes from me.Considered using an ultrasonic cleaner?
Aluminum.Are the baffles stainless steel or aluminum?
Cleaning
Clean the baffles. This can be done by hand with a nylon brush and some Hoppes #9 or any other gun cleaning solvent. DO NOT USE ANYTHING WITH AMMONIA IN IT ON YOUR GUARDIAN 22! You'll screw up the finish. Spray your baffle and gently brush the lead and other contaminants from the baffle. Do the same with the tube. The more lead that is on you baffles and tube the harder they will be to clean. The least labor intensive and most thorough way to clean your baffles is to lightly bead blast them. Remember, your Guardian 22 suppressor is made of aircraft grade aluminum. While robust, it can be damaged if abused.
