How do I clean this? (Silencerco Osprey Micro)
-
Don’t. Just put it back together and enjoy it. Once in awhile brush off the big stuff.
-
Dawn dishsoap? My baffles for the 22 are all stainless so my cleaning is a bit easier, so dishsoap might wear off the finish
-
I’d try this stuff they sell at the dollar store called awesome it’s yellow and available by the gallon. It’s extremely useful for countless things. The 2-butoxy ethanol shouldn’t even come close to damaging the cerakote. Just let it soak a while and hit it with a bruh
-
Gotta get an ultrasonic cleaner when you get into the suppressor game. Changed my life
-
Dremel with a wire brush attachment
-
Don’t do the dip. It cleans way too easily. There is that whole deal about being extremely toxic and poisoning the ground water… so not the most popular choice.
-
You can dump the whole thing in some simple green and then rinse it out or use a brush
-
Use a rag with CLP and wear gloves. It’ll get off the big chunks but cleaning it perfectly clean hinders performance. That tough texture layer of carbon/lead build up helps in suppression.
-
Another option is soda blasting. I’d only do it if you already own a beefy air compressor.
But as someone mentioned there is no need to make it spotless.
-
I’ve had good luck with CLR. I wouldn’t use the dip – it’ll tear up your finish and isn’t safe on aluminum (I can’t recall if the exterior of the Osprey Micro is steel or aluminum).
-
Hydrogen peroxide mixed with vinegar (50/50), give it a soak for 12+ hours.
Use gloves when handling the used solution (lead acetate).
-
Ballistol.
