General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.
i came across these protein shot bottles (wal-fart), and like the good hoarder that i am i saved them till i came up with a use. well i think i have for 1 atleast.
i dont like the toxic waste around my house so i figured the least of it the better. as you can see, the tube o the Spectre fits completely inside with the lid on.
question i have is how do you neutralize the dip? after i get it on tools etc? and how quickly does it get into your blood stream? i wear gloves of course, but if i wash splashes off withing a minute or two i am okay?
Yes, they can be difficult. Kinda a goofy way I do it, but I place the end cap removal tool on the ground. Place a wrench on the ground with the removal tool. I stand on the wrench, push down and twist like hell... nobody laugh, it works.
If it still doesn't come off, use a vise and strap wrench.
Sorry to hijack. I'm not sure about getting "splashed" with the dip. Just use gloves and move slow... shouldn't be a problem.

I'm kind of surprised your last baffle came out of the end cap. Mines doesn't?
"The Dip" is just acetic acid (vinegar), right? If so, I can see that the lead acetate (which would be disassociated to some degree in water - I don't know the number) would form lead chloride from the magnesium chloride (epsom salts) and precipitate out. If you keep adding the MgCl2 and don't get any more salt crashing out, then you can probably sewer the water with a guilt-free conscience and keep the lead chloride for Hazmat disposal day.
FYI, though, once it is haz waste, it's always haz waste, so legally there is no "neutralizing" it under RCRA (my understanding). Best CYA is probably to keep it all for haz waste day.
The Spectre end cap is VERY hard to get off after a few hundread rounds.
I used the dip alone to get mine clean, finally a friend who had a vice got that end cap off,I was rather suprised to find out that while it was very clean, it still had s--t in it. So the dip cleans about 90% of the s--t, the other 10 requires good old fashion elbow grease.
I soaked my new 22 can in WD40 in this 30mm case.
Wasn't that dirty but i wanted to see how it looked after 300 rounds.
I glass bead blasted my baffles...
those little bottles are called pre-forms, used for blow molding bottles. Kind of interesting to see the original "tube" MAC intended for their pop bottle adapter pictured in a suppressor thread.
