Is there any aluminum in the Omni? (Dip/Finish Question)

Post by USMC0351 »

Is it vinegar/peroxide dip safe? I have the dip ready from cleaning out my Spectre, and would like to know before I dispose of it if it wouldn't hurt to drop the Omni in. What finish is on the Omni?

The Omni has no aluminum and would not be damged by the dip.

Is the dip safe? Well, not if you ask me.

Good call. I tried it for 12 hours to test it. Suppressor looks bright and shiny on the inside, but the finish just wiped right off the outside. What finish comes on these? I was not expecting that to happen...

most likely Moly Resin™

can be sprayed with high temp grill paint or the like.

I figured on some grill paint or Gunkote since I have some sitting around. I'm not too worried about the appearance, but want to be sure I protect it with something.
