Well I bought one of these suppressors since they were solid titanium, fairly inexpensive, full auto rated and could handle most rimfire calibers.
Well after a year of shooting it and cleaning with "the dip" i noticed it started to get fairly heavy. I figure I had ran about 5000rds of 22LR through it. Well I did everything that has been suggested to clean it and soaked in all kinds of liquid. I thought I was doing a good job as the first baffle usually was fairly clean.
One day at the range I got the suppressor a little hot and went to unscrew from the muzzle and the cap came off fairly easy. It raised my suspicions that maybe the end cap would come off easy. I applied a little heat to but could never get a good grip due to the shape of the end cap. I called Tactical Solutions (great service by the way) and were more then willing to help me. He commented that an "Easy Out" would be the best to remove the cap. So I went to the local auto parts and got an "EASY OUT" that fit perfect in the hole. I heated the tube just a little with a torch and inserted the tool and off came the end cap. I then used a pick to remove the first several baffles and they were fairly easy. When I got to the final last 3 baffles they were fairly stuck. I used a hard plastic dowel and a rubber mallet and they came out and much to my surprised were almost fused together with lead and gunk. I again used the torch just enough to heat the metal and with a small pair of needle nose pliers pryed on the gunk and most was easy to get off. The use of a spinning wire wheel helped clean up the baffles to like new condition. i then reassembled with all holes in same direction and closed up the can. It sounds great and is relatively lighter. Only signs of removal are 3 small grooves in end cap where easy out was getting traction. On my can it did not affect accuracy or sound at all. I will post pics in the evening on various stages of this process.
feel free to ask any questions if need clarification
