Hello all
How many rounds are some of you putting through an Octane before you clean the baffles? Just take it apart every few hundred rounds and look at it to see if it needs cleaned yet? Wait until carbon is bad enough to "need" it? Dont want to seize it up, but dont want to over clean either.

Re: Octane HD, how often do you clean?
Honestly, other than clean and lube the booster portion, I've never once cleaned my Octane's baffles.
I clean and lube the booster portion after every use, regardless of round count. The same as I'd do for the firearm's barrel.

Re: Octane HD, how often do you clean?
thanks all. ss pin tumbled baffles about 1000 rounds plated 9mm. wasnt really bad, minor build up, but was a bit dirty.
Re: Octane HD, how often do you clean?
I've got an Octane 45K. I shoot it almost exclusively on my AR-9 "pistol". Probably 1000 rounds down range since I cracked it open. Reminds me, I ought to check it out!
