Mine started at 15oz and is now up to 18 1/2 oz. I don't think the weight has reached equilibrium yet. Has anyone noticed the weight at which your can leveled off?
Suppressors How much does your 30P-1 weigh?

I have 2. One has never been used yet and weighs 17.1 ounces. The other has approx. 200 rounds through it and weighs 17.45 ounces, but I did not weight it when it was new. They are 5/8x24 thread pitch.
How many rounds have you fired through yours, and what type ammo? Its hard for me to fathom a centerfire can with over 3 ounces of buildup.

Hmpf. Now I'm wondering if I remember the original weight correctly. I had it in my head it was 1 oz under a pound. Maybe it was 1 oz over.
Hey, Zak, what's a typical weight of a new one?

Should be 16-17 ounces depending on threads.
Most of them will get to a steady state and not add much more weight. Some will keeping adding - we've found that it depends on powder and load: some combinations foul worse than others. It's generally easier to keep it clean if you soak it in a carbon cutter like CLR periodically when you see it's a few ounces over.

Will the CLR cause the can to change color ?
17oz. Very little use with it, though.
Just submitted Form 4 for 30P-1. Good to know.
It will flatten the color a bit but not bad.
We've only used it on black so far so I can't say about other colors but would guess similar results.
What is best way to clean ? About every 300 rounds ?
thanks
thanks
300 rounds is more often than you need. If it's 3 ounces over, maybe think about cleaning it.
Thanks for the info, just what I needed.
24.2oz. This is no shit. Zak and Ray both have felt it and where blown away. I'm just waiting for comp season to end and then they can have at trying to get it clean haha
Let me guess you shoot H1000...
I have a 30BA. I have 1700 rounds of M118LR, 1000 rounds of power pro 2000 in 308 and about 2k rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor using H4350. I notice a lot of build up in the blast baffle so I decide to throw it in my ultra sonic tank. I was knocking crap loose for an hour. I got about 2 ounces from it, not including what dissolved into the liquid. My brake gets so much build up it gets very difficult to remove and install the can, I've made it into a direct thread can and the barrel threads are a course 18x1.5 mm and it works great! I driled the break and made a spanner wrench and used low strength loctite to lock the brake into the can.
On the brake, it can get a bit chunky if you let carbon accumulate. The easiest way is to take a stiff bristle brush and just brush it off when you're doing other rifle maintenance.
Yea. I use would use a razor blade on the flats and stainless wire brush every other outing. To me, H4350 has been much dirtier than 2000MR and what ever is in M118LR.
We can make it up on the Snipetac and clean it out. I don't have a dime invested 
I have several in the safe, brand new recent production, 5/8 x 24. they are 17.1 oz
Yes Zak its about 5500 rounds of pure H1000. You felt it at the RMSQ last month. I was hoping Ray would get the super carbon melter formula in from the chemical company you guys where taking about. Last I heard it wasn't in yet.
We're trying to get a hold of that guy.
Same with the green. No big deal.
18 oz for me
Dont want to hijack this thread but I dont feal its worth starting a new one either. Just put the first few rounds threw my new 30p-1 and when we were getting ready to go, noticed a very strong ammonia smell from the can. Not worried just curious what it comes from, my only guess was from the powder, and will this always be the case or is it just because its brand new?
It's just that the can retains more gas vs. shooting unsuppressed, and yes, it's from the powder
Zak
What are you finding with Varget and H380? Is it shooting clean or dirty?

Not sure on H380 but Varget is pretty clean.
FWIW, I have had good luck with KG-1 (Cleaning: Metal Protective Coating | Firearm Lubricants | Industrial Coatings). Their copper dissolver (KG-12) is great as well.
I think some of the commercially available stuff would work if mine wasn't so far gone. Zak and Ray have a process at their shop and they said it would more than likely take 3-4 weeks to get mine clean and that's using some techniques I don't have haha. Like I said, as soon as I'm pretty much done with all the matches for this year I'll send it down and let them chip away at it. By then it should most definitely go down on the books as the dirtiest and heaviest 30P-1 to ever come back to them haha.
