SOUND SUPPRESSOR
CLEANING
Clean the outside of the suppressor with a CLP dampened cloth. Copper removing bore
cleaner such as “Hoppe’s No. 9” may be used to remove copper fouling from the
suppressor.
Brush the contact areas of the suppressor and compensator/adapter contact areas to
remove carbon and other fouling. Fouling will render re-attachment of the suppressor
difficult.
Do not use abrasives to clean the bearing surfaces. Surface damage reduces accuracy
when firing with the suppressor attached and increases powder fouling.
Note: Never mix two or more bore cleaning solvents. Some combinations of
solvents produce acids which may damage rifle or suppressor metals.
Do not allow solvent to flow into the suppressor body. Keep the suppressor “muzzle
up” when brushing the inside or when soaking the compensator/adapter contact
area.
NOTE: The suppressor is a precision instrument having a tight fit between the bearing
surfaces of the compensator/adaptor. To assure a proper fit, the compensator/adaptor
must be kept free of dirt or carbon fouling.
Brush and/or scrape the carbon and copper residue from the suppressor mounting
surfaces and the compensator/adaptor. Take care to assure that carbon doesn’t fall into
the rifle bore or into the suppressor body.
