    As the title states, I have a question to see if a supressor can get worn out?? I own two 30 cal supressor that I purchased in 2009 and took ownership of in 2010 : AAC Cylone & a YHM Phantom 762. Both are direct thread and have served on multiple rilfes to great effect. However, I have noticed that my YHM's POI shift is greater than expected, nearly 3/4 to a full mil off where as in the past it was maybe .2-.4 mils off. I cleaned both with a supressor cleaner fluid and a ton of carbon was removed. When I used the supressor again the results were the same.

    So, I am wondering after 15 years of use is it time, to consider a newer supressor, or is there a solution that I have not considered.

    Thanks for you time Y'all

    Are you shooting these rifles with the same can that you zero’d them with?

    Or are you shooting a rifle without a suppressor, when it was zero’d with a suppressor?

    POI shift never mattered to me because I always shoot the way it was zero’d. Suppressed.

    It seems like we are getting way ahead of ourselves. The most likely cause of a suppressor causing more POI shift than it used to, is that it weighs more.

    Unles the baffles are seriously eroded, as in the first baffles have much larger holes than the end, there is no reason to recore. Direct thread suppressors align to the shoulder, not the thread so worn threads may loosen easier, but has nothing to do with alignment or POI shift.

    OP post pictures of blast baffle. About how many rounds fired, do you do a lot of full auto or mag dumps?

    I think there is a 99% chance it is fine.
