The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - is it safe to use an ultra sonic cleaner on an Suppressor?

I have recently filled out the paper work and submitted it to the feds for my first suppressor. I am told it will be August or September before I can pick up my suppressor

.

While I have shot a few suppressed guns they where all 22lrs and could be taken apart. The suppressor I ordered is for a 45/70 (my hunting rifle... decided I don't want to go deaf hunting and yes its legal to hunt game animals in Idaho with a suppressor) and the can is not able to be taken apart.

I was measuring my ultrasonic cleaner I use for my brass and I think the suppressor will fit. Is this a good idea or a bad idea to try this? I know the cleaner does well cleaning the inside of brass.

The Can is made of stainless steal (figured the extra weight will help with recoil as well)

I would rather take a round of 50BMG to the foot than a 22short to the base of the skull. all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...
