    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
