DOT 5 brake fluid for rimfire suppressor treatment (makes cleaning easier)

[Irelander]

Anyone try Fireclean to clean up silencer baffles? I've heard good things about it for use in 22 suppressors.

What makes rim fire suppressors so much dirtier than others?

Lead buildup is one issue.

Lead buildup is one issue.

Due to unjacketed bullets?

As I understand it, it's a combination of issues:

Unjacketed bullet
lead hardness
wax type bullet lubes
excessive unburnt powder fouling
rimfire priming compounds

Auto body shops hate Armorall, many won't even allow it in the shops. It carries pretty far, much further than you'd imagine, and has ruined a lot of paint jobs.

Silicone is a horrid contaminant. Shops that work on aerospace electronics would like you to leave your livestrong bracelet at home. I don't know how many times I've looked at a FTIR plot and found RTV has crept into a customer's floor.

This is why I wish I'd done more research before buying a rimfire can. My Outback II is a sealed unit, and the aluminum in its construction means I can't use a lot of otherwise viable methods to clean it. I've been seriously considering sending it in to Gemtech to have it rebuilt into an Outback IID with their new baffle stack.

I've been following a thread on another forum about the rebuilds Gemtech is doing; I would jump on that if I were you.

You could also send it to SRI and have it jailbroke. But I just saw on their website they are no longer jailbreaking used .22 cans.

The Gemtech program he mentioned seems like a no brainer
