Suppressors Cleaning baffles with stainless steel media

[Jimmym40a2]

After getting brass(stainless will work) media to clean my cases. ( check reloading section) the bright idea came to me to clean the baffles on my tac 65. I had about 500 round thru it and had to hammer pretty hard to get the baffles out. They were pretty dirty. The worst was the first. Well I thru them in the tumbler for 2 hours. I thought they would be clean like my brass. They were "cleaner" but not squeaky clean. 3 more hours and this time I thru in some lem-shine. ( just used dawn before.) Much better.

This is looking very good!

That's how I clean the bolt on my AR15s.

Damn....

I never even thought of doing that.
Thanks for the heads up!

Looks like I'll be breaking out my tumbler tonight.
How long did you let it run?

6 hours. Takes longer than the brass.That stuff is stuck on there.If you scraped off the baffles first I'm sure it would reduce the time. I just wanted to try it with out scraping.
