Go for it. I’d say it’s the most common method with that combination.Stainless steel media. Rotary tumbler. Baffles of the Ruger SR 10/22, also Stainless.
Never thought about it like that. Thanks!Go for it. I’d say it’s the most common method with that combination.
I’ll also say you don’t want them really clean. I’ve never tumbled mine. Knock the chunks off and be done with it. Or tumble them for a little while and reassemble.
A dirty suppressor is a quiet suppressor. Think about the difference of hardwoods/tile vs carpet.

I browse the site from my phone 99.44% of the time, and don’t even see anybody’s signature (including mine). But I can add it if you’d like me to.You need to add that to your signature line
On a semi-related note, I have an old 22 sealed can with aluminum baffles. The manufacturer just says to spray it with carbon cleaner, but does not recommend any particular brand or product. I know that the "dip" will eat or pit the aluminum. Anybody have an aluminum safe cleaning suggestion for a sealed suppressor?
I’d always heard Seafoam. Supposed to be safe since there are a lot of engines with Aluminum parts. However guess what’s on the MSDS:On a semi-related note, I have an old 22 sealed can with aluminum baffles.

Jail break that thing and soda blast 'em. I have an old Bowers CAC22 (SS) that was basically full of lead and carbon, soaking in the "Dip" for a couple weeks followed by a month in Slip 2000 Carbon killer barely made a dent.On a semi-related note, I have an old 22 sealed can with aluminum baffles.

The thought has crossed my mind but was afraid at 700° it might warp the baffles. Plus if there is any oil or moisture trapped in the layers of carbon + lead it will create a lead volcano........if the baffle is caked with lead, has anyone ever put them in a lead melting pot? I think lead has a low melting temperature, but i dont know if its safe enough for baffles or would it do any good.
