22 suppressor cleaning

[@SimplemanKen]

Followed your method for cleaning my Rugged Occulus 22LR suppressor. Had approx 500-600 rounds thru it and it came out awesome! Easiest I've ever had to clean my suppressor. Thanks for posting!

[@rickbowers5977]

Thank you Leroy... I just got my Banish 22 about 2 months ago. Finally got around to using it. I bought some CLR and Simple Green to use in the sonic bath. It's bathing in Simple Green currently, and will use the CLR next time. Bought them both before I saw your video. I put mine in a ziploc also. Thanks again brother! Stay safe!

[@1776concernedcitizen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rickbowers5977]

@@1776concernedcitizen UPDATE: The Simple Green cleaned the baffles, but still had powder residue on them. I poured out the SG, and poured some CLR in the Ziploc. Came out looking like they had never been used. Sparkling clean!

[@chadmccormick1412]

I know Rugged recommends using Purple Power and Water. Maybe that will work as well. Let me know if anyone tries it.

[@donaldengel4128]

I just used this method with the baffles of an extremely nasty Dead Air Mask HD that had been sitting for months. It was leaking through my baggie but I used a glass jar of CLR in the water instead. I let them sit in the jar of CLR in the water as it heated up. They came out like factory new after 5 minutes. Awesome method if you have stainless steel baffles.

[@danielmize3306]

This worked perfect. Thank you for posting!

[@ccoleman50]

This method absolutely works

[@MacD2029]

Would this process be refereed to as the dip?

[@Jeresicle]

What cleaner do you use to clean the tube? I understand clr will strip the finish.

[@Hvacnc]

I see you said after 10 rounds… does this method work will with let’s say 500-1000 rounds

[@1776concernedcitizen]

@@Hvacnc never shot that many at one time, but it should work the same. Most I ever ran before cleaning was maybe 250.

[@KorreMorse]

Do you use tap water or distilled? Also i think i bought the same exact cleaner looks like yours but the brand on Amazon says its a vevor. Is yours still working or has it wore out? Just wondering how long the cheapos last

[@kab5275]

Distilled will clean better then tap water.

[@timothyhaskell8262]

What is the minimum capacity tank for the baffles of just 1 dead air mask hd suppressor?

[@dbriggs1689]

Nice tip thanks for sharing.

[@Tablerocked]

thanks for posting. Any concerns with drops of CLR on your granite?

[@jimballard7023]

Is this a Dead Air Mask? Looks easy.

[@jabarthful]

How hot did you make the water temperature?

[@MrJgayles]

What size cleaner do you have? Also would you get a bigger one if you had the choice. I will solely be using this for baffles.

[@1776concernedcitizen]

I'm guessing about a quart. It's plenty big enough so far.

[@loneczgunner6562]

Not sure about your cleaner, but my ultrasonic cleaner is very similar but a few quarts bigger. The directions say to make sure you fill to the line just below the cover every time you use it to avoid damaging it. You may want more liquid in it next time?

[@rascal0175]

Have you tried that on aluminum baffles?

[@digitalgoonie]

What would you recommend cleaning a .22 compensator with? Mine is so filthy after one session that I can’t get it clean. I soaked it, scrubbed it, yelled at it… still dirty. Bought a cleaner similar to yours, but not sure what to use with it

[@1776concernedcitizen]

CLR, except not on anything with a finish like the tube. It will come off.

[@FishKepr]

How do you dispose of the liquid?

[@1776concernedcitizen]

I won't be answering that question as it will definitely be criticized. I would say that environmental risks are considered but cannot be completely mitigated.

[@FishKepr]

@@1776concernedcitizen I understand. I just did a search and our county has a collection facility for cleaning solvents, thinners and ‘hobby chemicals’ like this. It’s free for residents so if I go this route I will take it there.

[@st.louismissouri3312]

@@FishKepro you research and call around too when you flick a booger out your car window? You check with EPA DEA and CIA before flicking it or do you have 1 OZ of testicular fortitude left? 😅 thank you to the man who made this video

[@jcrow530]

Lol it's a house hold cleaning solution. They know it's going down the drain or in the back yard.

[@alchemistTi]

@@jcrow530not just cleaning solution - it has dissolved lead in it which will enter the water stream if you dump it down the drain or pour it in the backyard.

[@tstu1701]

Thanks for the video. Do you dilute the CLR with water?

[@1776concernedcitizen]

No

[@nickcruz1991]

What is the purpose of using a bag? Just asking i plan to get a ultrasonic soon. Cleaned up really good.

[@1776concernedcitizen]

The bag contains the cleaning solution and the parts. Just makes cleaning up easy.

[@quinnyellstrom719]

Also uses less solution than filling the entire cleaner itself.

[@chadmccormick1412]

How do you like the Banish 22?

[@blurryhmong]

This works 100% took the carbon clean off the baffles.

[@taylor2629]

What kinda ultrasonic cleaner is that and y did you use the bag with them in it

[@1776concernedcitizen]

It's CLR cleaner in a cheap Chinese made cleaner. The bag just keeps me from wasting too much cleaner. The water in the ultrasonic cleaner stays clean so I don't have to clean it out.

[@purepactola6636]

tried it, works great!

[@kylel4822]

Thank you for the video. In the process of cleaning my baffles now. Do you do 50-50 water and clr or just straight clr? Really like the bag idea makes things so much easier.

[@1776concernedcitizen]

I've used straight CLR on titanium. It works well, but you could use 50/50 and see how well it works. Let me know

[@kylel4822]

@John 14:6 mine was caked. I don't know how many rounds but up past 2000. So I did multiple runs with 100% clr. Now that I have the untra sonic cleaner, I will be cleaning more often. But it is now 100% clean and ready for action.

[@MrJgayles]

Also does the CLR run the Risk of taking off the finish on the baffles. Would love an update video on your whole experience thus far.

[@1776concernedcitizen]

The baffles I have are titanium. I wouldn't put anything in CLR that has a finish on it.

[@JohnAIDoe]

Can it clean aluminum parts?

[@ccc9139]

No, do not use an ultrasonic cleaner on aluminum

[@1776concernedcitizen]

No aluminum will not take it. Especially with CLR, it will destroy it

[@mattlindbo5597]

What suppressor is that?

[@1776concernedcitizen]

Bannish 22

[@livefree5997]

So did you mix half of it with water?

[@TwoWheelNinja]

Is it diluted with water?

[@adrnacad3434]

Like brand spanking new!!

[@vulpsturm]

Whisper quiet

[@BearMan1954]

The baffles are stainless steel.....

[@1776concernedcitizen]

No titanium

[@philbaker29]

And now you've contaminated your kitchen counter with lead 🙄

[@1776concernedcitizen]

It's the bathroom, but yes I'll try not to eat the lead

[@whereswaldo5740]

Of course the bathroom. I’ve been doing it wrong. Well with all the time we spend in there makes sense. Rather than watching KZbin gun videos.

[@TacticalBuffoonary]

If you smear the baffles with Silaramic brake system grease before you reassemble or on a new can’ the carbon and lead deposits wipe off easily. The Silaramic is rated for 3000 degrees so it won’t burn off. It works great.

[@1776concernedcitizen]

Great advice, thanks

[@miguelfilo962]

It seems unnecessary. Plus it's currently $20 for a 5 ounce tube. Just go with an ultrasonic & CLR; it's less work.

[@RickHunter811]

@TacticalBuffoonary you are right. Found this trick a while back and has saved me a ton of time cleaning. I tend to put a little more ceremic grease on the lower parts where it tends to build up harder to remove carbon. The carbon sticks to the grease and wipes right off leaving the baffles shinny new.
