Carbon Buildup on Illumination Devices

[TEzNJ]

Hopefully this image helps. I would like some insight. Recently mounted a MAWL and changed my M300 from 11:30 to 3 o’clock. Realized there’s some carbon buildup on the lens of the M300 as I anticipated… but I realized on the protective part of the MAWL (Rubber end) had some of the Carbon. Luckily the MAWL was on the OFF position so it was protected from any carbon that might’ve gotten on any emitter in theory (checked after range all emitters clear). Would any flash hider help with preventing carbon buildup? I was thinking I’d the Sure fire 3 prong, or surefire closed tine (neither would be a warcomp), or a JP 3P flash hider. I’m thinking of these since the distance from the end of the emitters from the ports would be further.

But this an image before I made another revision, timing the brake to 1:30 if (you’re looking at timing from the back of the rifle looking towards the muzzle). And moved the MAWL back about 1/4-1/2 an inch.

Any insight helps, mainly just trying to prevent carbon buildup on MAWL laser EMITTERS,

Thanks

Paragon WLC is like magic for getting carbon off if you don’t have any already.

Wipe off the loose stuff with a rag and some degreaser. A pink pencil eraser will remove the rest.

I coat all my lenses with a thin layer of chap stick after cleaning. Makes the next cleanup a no effort wipe and re-coat affair.

resolved by putting on flash hider. Removed JP COMP
