Just as the title states. I have an Omega 30 that is way overdue for a good cleaning. So, how should I do it? Thanks for the help!

You don't. If anything, I would just clean the threads.

Yea? Thats different than everything I have heard, won't it get full of carbon though? I thought that an overly dirty suppressor would have an effect on accuracy? I am not saying you are wrong or anything, I have just never heard someone say that I shouldn't clean it. Im intrigued now...

Mufflers on your cars/trucks don't get cleaned, as long as your shooting center fire ammo thru it don't bother

I have had my Omega 30 since '06 and pretty much shot it the whole time on my WSM and an AR10. I have never cleaned it, other than wiping the threads.

At one point I thought that I was getting a shift due to it being excessively dirty, so I took it out to the range and shot it at 300m. Installed and removing the suppressor over a dozen times, shooting 3 shot groups and never got a shift or accuracy problem at all.

It is one of the best suppressors on the market in my opininon, and is super consistent. I get a .5 MIL shift consistently in windage between suppressed and non.

Awesome. I like everyone's input on not-cleaning, it's just one less thing to do! I will keep going without cleaning. I only shoot it with my Mk12 .223 and my bolt .308 so there shouldn't be any lead issues with those. We will see how it goes! Thanks everyone.
