Been reading about as well as dealing cleaning suppressors. A couple of members have been dealing with heavily carbon/lead fouled suppressors and difficulty in cleaning them. Question: If there was a way to seal both ends of the can well, could stainless steel case cleaning media be used with water or, if appropriate, a carbon removal compound like Slip2000 Carbon Killer be sealed in the can and placed on a mechanical roller and let the stainless media/carbon removing compound in the rotating can be used to remove heavy fouling? It would be a matter of:
1) weighing the suppressor before and after cleaning and comparing it to factory spec to ascertain how much fouling was removed and how much may still remain.
2) weighing the amount of stainless steel media being placed in the can, both before cleaning and then again after to verify that it had all been removed from the can.
I don't know if any device exists to use to roll the media filled suppressor to activate the cleaning media, but I have a 3D printer and could "rapid" prototype something if this idea sounds feasible. The considerations in my mind are mainly: would the stainless steel cleaning media possibly damage the suppressor and/or the internals ( I don't see this working well with aluminum cans and baffles ); would you be able to easily and completely remove all of the stainless cleaning media, and, oh, hell, I don't know what else, which is why I'm posing the question to the collective wisdom of this forum. What do you guys and gals think?
