I have a Gemtech mist-22td. Its a great little setup, but I've ran into some issues with cleaning it. After shooting it for the first time and putting 300-400 rounds through it and giving it a scrub down every 150 rounds or so, I noticed that I was getting some decent build up on the baffles. I scrubbed all of the build up off of the muzzle end baffles but the ones closer to the actual exit of the barrel have some extremely stuck deposits. The entire unit is coated with "black inconel" and I really want to avoid damaging the finish, as it seems to be part of the system intended to avoid build up. I was instructed by the MFG to soak it for 24 hours in 50/50 atf/mineral spirits, which has removed some of the build up but the thicker deposits are quite stubborn.
How big of a deal is it to reclaim the space the deposits take up? Is there another soaking solution or a way to remove what looks to be lead from the first few baffles? Do I even need to worry about it?
Thanks!
