Awc titanium 22 lr can

Post by Justme »

Hello....im new here, I own a AWC titanium 22 long rifle sealed suppressor.... I would like to start shooting it again... With the exception of the dip! What's the best method for cleaning? I was told I could put lead/carbon remover in a plastic bottle and drop can in for several days? Or any other suggestions that may work? Thanks

A two foot x two inch pvc tube with a tap on the bottom will work for several years in most cases. Fill the tube with a solvent and suspend the suppressor with a coat-hanger in it. Once a day slosh it up and down and the sediment sludge sinks to the bottom. Just drain the sludge layer from time to time then top off the solvent.
Sludge is a wonderful concentration of copper,lead,nitrates,volcanic glass and other yummy things.

I adapted this from the bucket method I used in service. Flip the suppressor from time to time so solvent and agitation will reach every point to clean those K baffles.

Capt....that sound great, but what solvent? Some kind of lead remover? Or what? Something that doesnt damage titanium. Read online hoppes # 9. Hoppes says it wont hurt titanium, but doesnt say anything for long term submerging in bottle. Plus its flammable. Would have to rinse out before use. Im assuming

I would check out Brownell for tank solvents that will work on lead.I use Kroil but many others will work including lite turbine oil or a diy ED's Red. You can add a inside eye bolt to hold the coat-hanger to the cap I did not mention to stop evaporation. A drip dry is normally enough ,again flip the suppressor to release the solvent.If you run into problems drop me a line.
