When the suppressor has gained approx 2-3 ounces, it's time to clean

This can be accomplished using CLR (a ZEP product - find at Home Depot) to dissolve the carbon. Soak the inside of the suppressor in ZEP CLR and flush it every day for several days. Alternating with an Ultrasonic cleaner can help to break up stubborn carbon. Do not use CLR in an ultrasonic cleaner - it will damage the tank.
...

For ULTRA series suppressors, CLR should not soak the "Direct Thread Insert" for Direct Thread ULTRA suppressors. The best way to accomplish this is to have the thread end up and fill the suppressor up to just short of the direct thread insert, or about 1.25" into the suppressor.

Zak, are there any special cleaning considerations for a 30P-1 that's been re-cored to a direct thread Ultra 9? Is the "blast shield" in the first few inches of the can sensitive to any chemicals that the Ti portions might not be?

Thanks.

Yeah that’s the “Direct Thread Insert” in the above quote

 

[surgeon260]

Understood. How do you recommend cleaning that portion of the can?

Thanks again.

Won't they do one free cleaning a year if you send it in?

Hi,

If you can fill it (with the exit end down) just up to the bottom of the insert, it will clean 99% of the can. The rest you can get sort-of manually through the thread end.
